ChiefBNpro Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have a problem with CA precision regarding roads and fences. I've imported elevation points and generated terrain. When I place fence on the terrain it sometimes follows terrain correctly, but often it "sinks" under. Similar problem happens with roads when I try to join two roads to form an intersection (curbs are misaligned). Is there any way to fix this problem?

CJSpud Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Did you try to rebuild the terrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefBNpro Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes I did (several times), and nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Your terrain is very large and you have many elevation points.... this may be a contributing factor to the issue. Attached is a picture where I reduced the size of at the terrain. I understand that this may be not what you want, but it proves that you have things built correctly by CA and your computer may not be able to handle this size model. BTW, thanks for posting the plan, it speeds up the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Try this, open plan and open an overview. Put them side by side so you can see both views on your monitor. Now, resize the terrain perimeter. Take note of when your fences do not behave. There are definitely terrain sizes that will effect how the fences work. I guarantee that in your model I did find a a couple of roads that were 200 meters from the fence that when deleted, the terrain and how the fence relates to the terrain was effected. To repeat, I found roads that were 200 meters from the fence, and whether these roads were in plan, did effect the terrain..... interesting.

jcaffee Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Try breaking your fence to coincide with radical terrain elevation changes. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefBNpro Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 First of all, I would like to thank everyone for trying to help. Your terrain is very large and you have many elevation points.... this may be a contributing factor to the issue. Attached is a picture where I reduced the size of at the terrain. I understand that this may be not what you want, but it proves that you have things built correctly by CA and your computer may not be able to handle this size model. BTW, thanks for posting the plan, it speeds up the process. I have to use this terrain. I tried many programs, including AutoDesk Infraworks, Civil3D, 3DS Max, SketchUp with Instant Architecture and ESRI City Engine. We need to prepare terrain for houses, draw roads and fences. Then we open this model in Lumion and render 3D video animation. So far we got best results with 3DS Max (successfully completed 6 projects), but Chief Architect is the most intuitive program we found so far. Our new architect is using it and he told me that CA can draw roads. I tired it, and definitely CA workflow drastically decreases modeling time.

Gawdzira Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Your triangle size is too big. This gets the fences to work but I don't know if you can navigate the file still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
