Export roads without ground surface as FBX

Export roads without ground surface as FBX

Not applicable

Is it possible to export roads as FBX separately from the ground surface? There doesn't seem to be a way to separate them in the "Export 3D Model" export settings: I can only export the roads along with the ground surface.

In "Surface Layers," hiding the ground surface hides the roads as well.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

the planning roads don't have their own profile (=elevation) and they need a terrain to be draped on.

If yo switch off the terrain, the roads disappear as well.

 

Maybe there is a workaround with a round trip via Civil 3D.

Load the model into Civil 3D, you will see an existing ground surface and a road surface. Export the road surface as LandXML and import that LandXML to InfraWorks. Now the roads have a drape terrain and you can switch off the existing ground.

 

Regards,

Karsten.
