Site model turns into mesh/group and changes layers when editing surface modifiers of a site modifier

[JonKoch]

Has anyone encountered this? It's super frustrating because I keep losing my DTM. 

 

I create a side modifier on my DTM Mods layer and then go in and change the surface modifiers with stake objects and grade objects. Once I'm finished and I exit out and update the site model, all of a sudden I get a mesh object and a group of my site model now on the DTM Mods layer instead of on the previous DTM layer. Am I missing something here or is this a bug? 

 

Thanks!

Ok, now it's just happening when I adjust a grade limit and update the site model. Creates a mesh and a group of 3D polygons separate from each other on whatever layer I'm on.

I also just tried it in another file and the same thing is happening. Create a grade limit, draw a planar pad site modifier within grade limit, update site model. Site model converts to 4 different objects. Groups and meshes.

You are not alone, I just saw this myself. I'm going to write up a bug report, if you can go and submit a bug please do so as well.

 

Cheers,

Here's the fix:

• Delete both meshes.
• Go to Site Model Settings>3D
• Uncheck 'Show Skirt'.
• Click ok.
• Go back into the Site Model Settings>3D
• Check 'Show Skirt'.
• Click ok

The DTM should be ok now. I have reported it internally as VB-200513
DTM update produces the skirt and surface mesh rotated to 90º from it's actual orientation after update.

 

Cheers,

Thank you @Peter Neufeld.! I'll get back after it when I'm back in the office tomorrow! I'll submit a bug report and in the meantime, I'll use your fix. 

 

Thanks again!
