RE: Edited triangles and LandXML

Frank,
 
You can save the edited triangles by viewing them in the DGN file and then 1) importing them into  a surface as breakline features or 2) saving the DGN file as a DXF file. Either method works and provides absolute (?) control of the triangles in any follow on software you might need to import them into.
 
I’ll be recommending PennDOT designers not use the triangle editing tools as well. If a designer needs to edit the triangles I’ll be recommending placing a feature between triangle vertices to define where they want the new triangle leg. If they need to retriangulated in that area of their work they would need to delete any control feature they placed.

We're having the same issue with PowerGEOPAK.  We have a workaround to create an external boundary, using a "drape boundary" (see thread: communities.bentley.com/.../92188.aspx).  This works fine for the boundary of the project, but as noted above, leaves all internal edits at risk of reverting.  What I think we'll have to tell our users is to NOT edit triangles internally.  Instead, they'll need to edit the source data to provide the desired result.  In many cases, this is actually the proper way to address a problem with triangles anyway.  However, this is a problem that Bentley needs to address directly.  All of these "workarounds" don't solve the problem.  A way for PowerGEOPAK or InROADS to keep track of triangle edits is needed.
