Question:

I've exported surfaces to xml in civil3D; how I can bring them into OpenRoads?

Answer:

To import this data, use the Create Terrain From File command. In OpenRoads Designer, the tool can be found under the OpenRoads Modeling Workflow>Terrain Tab>Create>From File

After invoking the command, navigate to the directory where the xml is stored and select it. We can also filter by file type as seen below. 

More information on the command options can be found in our help link .
