Feature Definition for Solids

OpenRoads/OpenSite can only apply Feature Definition to Meshes, not solids.


This would make it possible for advanced modeling with solids elements for BIM use. Feature Definition play a huge role when using the Export to IFC tool.


If the solid has no FD, then it will be exported without a name. Converting them to mesh is a solution, but solids tend to work much better with other softwares.


File size in mind, the same element in Mesh can be 10x bigger than as a solid.

    Could you elaborate on the problem you're trying to solve? OpenRoads does have Feature Symboligies for solids used for drainage. Is the issue related to IFC export?
