How to visualize roads in Mechanics Explorer

Hi, I am simulating a vehicle with Delft tyres and different road files (.rdf / CRG). I can see the vehicle moving in Mechanics Explorer, but cannot see the road. How can I make the road surface visual ?

With a few commands from the OpenCRG MATLAB API and a file from the File Exchange, you can automatically produce an STL from a CRG file.

Examples that show how it is done are contained in the Simscape Vehicle Templates. You can download this example for free. This page includes a summary and animations of the simulations.#

Here is an image of a sedan climbing Pikes Peak, generated from a CRG file of the road.
