Question:

Is it possible to import an IRD into OpenRoads?

Answer:

A new command was added to OpenRoads in version 08.11.09.674: Import IRD

Please note the following:

• Only one corridor at a time can be imported.
• An imported corridor's baseline horizontal and vertical geometry must already exist in the design file or an attached reference file.
• Imported corridors will always target the active terrain model, however it is possible to import a corridor without an active terrain model.

Dependencies:

• Corridor dependencies include secondary alignment geometry, point controls and target aliasing.
• A corridor’s missing dependencies will be reported at the time of import. The import can then be canceled or continued with missing dependencies.
• Corridor objects that are missing a dependency will not be imported.For example, if a point control is a corridor feature point control, the corridor and the corridor feature must already exist.  If they do not, the point control will not be imported.
• In order for a Target Alias to be imported at least one of it’s dependencies must exist in the design model.  Missing aliases will not be imported.
• All dependencies will be matched by name with objects in the design model.
