How to create a TIN from 2D contours?

Marcus McConachie — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 15:02:31 GMT

I was given a 2D DGN with contour lines that were created from LIDAR data. The contour lines have an attribute assigned to them called "CONTOUR" with the elevation. We would like to merge this information into a 3D DGN so we can create a TIN/DTM surface. How do I do this?

MicroStation V8i default Print Styles

Marcus McConachie — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:36:14 GMT

I know how to use and create new Print Styles in a dgnlib that all users in our office can access, but my question is about the defualt Bentley print styles that show up. When we select "Apply Print Styles" in the Print dialog box we see all the custom Print styles we have created in our dgnlib, but we also see 4 print styles that we didn't create. I'm guessing these styles are default print styles that come pre-loaded in MicroStation, but we were wondering if there is a way to remove them or stop them from showing up? They are no hurting anything, but our new users get confused and try to use these and we would just like them to not even show up. Any help?

Draw Cross Section from Surface - Missing Lines

kcaitch — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 17:01:11 GMT

Not a good day for me and Roadway Designer...

I created a model from Corridor Modeler and created a DTM from it. When I use the "Draw Cross Sections from Surface" tool, for some reason it doesn't draw a certain line. This line happens to be the back slope after a paved side ditch. The odd thing is that point label is drawn where that line would connect to the existing ground, but it just isn't drawing the line. The back slope line is drawn on the section before and after without any issues and the station is a nice even station.

Any ideas what is happening with this? I have had a similar issue on a much longer job several months ago, but I just worked around it due to time constraints. That was with an older version of Windows, MS, and GPK.

My current versions are as follows: MS - v8.11.09.397, Geopak - v8.11.07.536, Windows 7 SP1

Thanks.
