Elevation Axis displaying incorrectly.

Cameron Tomkins — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 19:30:09 GMT

When opening a profile view, cross-section view, and or any view that bring ups a X and Y Axis (normally X being stationing and Y being elevation) the Y Axis is defaulting to showing only "ZZZ". I believe this to be caused by the resolution of my monitors. I'm currently using two 29" ACER monitors running at 2560 X 1440. See the image below showcasing the problem. As a side note it seems that some windows also have a tendency to be be "hidden" behind other windows from time to time such as the element selection box, normally this isn't to much of a problem but can be frustrating at times.

Inroads to Trimble Business Center RXL creation corruption.

Cameron Tomkins — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:51:05 GMT

I'm modeling a corridor in InRoads and need to make a RXL for this. The only way that I know how is to export a XML from InRoads bring that into Trimble Business center and export from there. However when I create the RXL and bring it back in there are area's that get skewed away from the original XML and are causing chatter along the surface. I believe this to be caused by features that make up the terrain model that are not either part of the corridor and/or not at the same interval the corridors vertex's are at.

The screen below shows the XML of the terrain:

Inroads SS3 Corridor Feature Surface XML

SaltyTP — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 17:55:08 GMT

We are currently creating DTM surfaces based from corridor features. When we export out an XML for TBC to export to an RXL it is missing breaklines. The breaklines missing are the features that are created in multiple locations along the corridor. If we have add a second lane, drop a second lane and then add it again, the second time it is added it will not carry the features into the XML. This feature is created as one element because it has the same point name. Bentley handles it fine, but it does not appear that anyone else does. This would mean that we would need to make a new template with different name every time we have a curb drop or lane add, etc. We need those features for layout in the feild. Please see attached images of a demo corridor and the XML when imported into TBC and Civil 3d. Does anyone have a work around for getting these coded/named features into TBC?

Thanks,

Scott
