'Can not find cross section sheet dgn file:' Geopak Cross Section Sheet Composition

d m — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 13:02:42 GMT

Good morning, laying out cross section sheets and was able to a few days ago just fine and now I'm getting this error 'Can not find cross section sheet dgn file:'

I learned the hard way that if I input my design file into Sheet DGN File it'll process the sheets in my design file and override my design, thankfully that was an easy restore. But the point is that if I use that option the sheets will come out but obviously not where I want them to be which is in my cross section file model view Rdxsrd_shg View. Any help would be much appreciated or a finger in the right direction to some resources. Thank you

Problems with Lidar and Terrain Model

Jean Mouton — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 19:25:14 GMT

Currently trying to use Lidar data (.las) from the state of KY to make an inroads DTM. When trying to import into inroads SS2 the coordinates and elevations are way off. I tried to import in SS4 using the "Create From File" civil terrain tool. This will bring the data in correctly coordinate and elevation wise, but I am unable to filter out trees, buildings, etc (iso lidar with trees.jpeg). Finally, I've imported using point cloud tools and ended up with the same mess as when I imported from SS2 (iso point cloud and plan point cloud jpegs). These files work fine for the client who uses ArcGIS. They also provided .lasx and .lasd files. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Model Overhang with Drape Element Tool Troubleshooting (OpenRoads Designer)

Tamara Lynn — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 13:30:54 GMT

I went to the reality modeling drape element tool following the instructions of a tech ORD modeling video. There are specific instructions in the video to model and overhang. I followed them step-by-step and I am not given the same options in my drape element dialogue box.

And these are my only options:

Why am I missing the method pull down and radius options?

Turning Off Levels in a Reference File - Cached Display - Original Model Unavailable

Tamara Lynn — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 19:07:45 GMT

What does this mean?

I searched through all my models and even completely detached the reference this level is in. There are still lines that still show up and plot. Turn off level by element tool is not allowed on that level. All of my attachments are turned on and snappable and everything. The file this level is supposedly on is not referenced in this file in any way (nested files, etc.). I have rebooted, compressed the file and everything.

Using OpenROads Designer CE 2021 Release 1

Can someone please link me to the Wiki instructions on building a TIN file from LAS files using V8i SS4 with Geopak? I have been looking everywhere.

I don't normally use Microstation for 3D. Please help. I need step by step instructions for dummies. Haha. Thanks.

Can I create cross sections or a profile in Microstation V8i using only a TIN file?

Tamara Lynn — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 16:10:09 GMT

I don't have a GPK or anything. I just need a few 2D ground lines cut from a surface.

Level State Different Across Models

Tamara Lynn — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 20:56:13 GMT

I swear I used to be able to turn off or on a level using global freeze in a model file and then save settings and it would automatically apply to all the sheets it was referenced to. Now that is not working. I am trying to get a level turned on in all of my sheets without having to go into every sheet. It is a lot of sheets!

Can i link a ProjectWise Document Set via Links?

GEOPAK SS4 Plan/Profile Composition Places Too Many References

Angela Schmidt — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:22:11 GMT

I am creating plan & profile sheets in GEOPAK SS4. I am not using a motif, just references in the sheet clip file. The issue I am having is that it is placing plan view references not only in the plan view, but also the profile view and tabular port. It's also placing the profiles references in plan view. Any ideas what is causing this?

Maximum Number of Clip Points

Tamara Lynn — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 19:59:42 GMT

I am working in Microstation V8.11.9.832

There is no way I used 5,000 clip points in my file. I saw on another post that that number excludes clip points in files referenced to the file I am in currently. But it is acting like I have reached the maximum number of clip points. If I delete a reference mask, it will allow me to create another one, but it won't let me create any new ones without deleting an existing mask.

Print Organizer

Tamara Lynn — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 20:57:16 GMT

I have a pset that I created and used successfully several times. Now a bunch of the DGNs are missing from the pset. I tried creating a new pset with the same list of DGNs I had before and now it isn't recognizing the fence shape I entered for half of them, but does recognize the other half. I have confirmed that the shape is still on the same level and in the same place it always was in in all of the DGNs. Has this happened to anyone? What else can I check?

Geopak plan and profile sheet composition tool

mlemieux — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 20:32:12 GMT

Anyone recall if the geopak plan/profile sheet composition tool was designed to work with multiple MicroStation models?

This tool works fine with placing sheet clips shapes in multiple models with Geopak ss2. But, using Geopak ss4 (openroads), I have to click through a number of errors "Missing Application Data, Input Missing Data" before I can get the clip shapes placed into my active model.
