Intersection Terrain Model

Kevin Bogert — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 22:27:02 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I created the incoming road and the intersection using breaklines. The issue I am running into is that the road coming into the approach has a 6" pavement depth and the intersection has 10" I wanted to model this correctly so I have 2 different terrain models for the 2 separate pavement depths. When I created the first one (incoming road) I just drew in a horizontal geometry line where the pavement depth changes and added that line and the edge of pavement as the boundary and then the centerline geometry as breaklines.

The problem is, when I do it on the intersection portion, I add the edge of pavement as boundary and then add centerline. It triangulates the entire centerline, not just the portion that is in the intersection. So it triangulates all the way back into the incoming road. Is there a way to clip these portions out? I am not sure if this is the best practice but it's what I have right now and need to get it pretty close.

Thanks for the help!

Approach Civil Cell/3d Linear Template

Kevin Bogert — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 16:32:09 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I am attempting to model depressed approaches into my design and need some help. I've attached screenshots to aid.

I attempted to create a civil cell of the approach (a simple approach at that) and I could not get it to function properly. I attached the picture of the end goal, mind you, I am not even trying to model behind the back of walk. I was thinking rather than creating a civil cell as I have different approach widths to apply, can I create a template for the full size curb and one for the approach and then transition between then two? If so, how do I transition between two 3D linear template?

If this is highly discouraged, is there anyone out there that could break down an explanation on how to create this civil cell? I understand that all of it needs to be created with the correct relationships but that's where I am struggling. Especially using multiple reference alignments to adjust the width of the approach.

Please help and thank you!!

Vertical PI to precise station

Kevin Bogert — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 19:28:31 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I have my vertical alignment built and I built using line and then profile curve between element. I noticed that PI location is determined by the lines, as that is the way that I built it. I'd like to make sure my PI's are at an even station or even half for constructability. Is there a way to move the PIs to a precise station using accudraw? I don't really want to keep moving my straight grade lines until it's close, even then it won't be exact.

Is there a way to build your vertical to be able to control PI location?

Thanks!

Missing PI Grips in SS10 profile geometry

Dana Ladzinski — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 02:20:34 GMT

I have a profile that was created quite some time ago in Inroads SS2 and brought into Power Geopak SS10. The profile is several miles long.

I want to make some minor changes but am noticing the "grips" with station, elevation, and grade control for PIs are missing. Only PIs though, I can move and manipulate PTs PCs and curve lengths:

I've noticed this before on other profiles I've imported that were created in SS2, but they were always shorter ramp profiles. If I needed to just drop and recreate it wasnt a big deal. This profile being several miles long, I dont really want to do that. Does anyone know a workaround or way to make the PI information fill in?

Thanks

Linear Template - Updating with vertical adjustments

Kevin Bogert — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 16:10:53 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I am working on modeling an intersection. I have laid out a pavement/wearing surface with edge of pavement lines. I applied my curb & gutter/sidewalk/tie as a linear template to EOP lines. When adjusting the vertical geometry of the eop line, the template does not update to corresponding vertical. Is a linear template not dynamic or tied to this line? Or is it and I need to rebuild the "corridor" somehow?

As always thank you for your help!

Centerline vertical geometry not displaying in 3D

Kevin Bogert — Thu, 13 May 2021 16:51:02 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I have my centerline horizontal and vertical created and both have been exported to the gpk. My geometry file is referenced into my model file. When in my model dwg, if I switch to 3D space, the centerline does not show up. Also when selecting my centerline, it does not give me the option to open profile view. Any ideas?

All help is appreciated, thank you!

Profile Creation - crashes

Kevin Bogert — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 21:11:44 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I am working on creating a cross street alignment and profile. I have my horizontal alignment created, I open my profile view of said alignment and go to draw a profile line. As soon as I draw a profile line it asks for the job number/gpk file. And when I select my gpk file it immediately crashes. I tried opening my gpk and project in the project manager and then drawing my profile and it still asks me job number and then crashes.

Any help is appreciated, thank you so much.

Clip corridor at civil cell

Kevin Bogert — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:58:53 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I am trying to clip my corridor at the basic T civil cell I have intalled, I thought I could just mask my corridor but the intelligence will still be there and show up at on my proposed cross sections. After reading forums it appears as though in project explorer you can go under civil cells, right click terrain model and select "Add corridor clipping boundary". When I do so, nothing happens? Is it because my terrain model is not the correct/active one? All of my civil cells have Terrain Model as: Side road Pvmt, which is where I had civil cell tie to.

Just trying to get my corridor clipped so my cross sections don't show sidewalk going through the intersection.

Thanks for the help!

Printing Cross Sections

Cheri Rafalko — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 19:21:35 GMT

I am using Power InRoads V8i SS4 and have created about 200 cross sections that populated in a temp view group. I used the Sheet preference when creating them. I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to get them all to print to individual pages in one pdf. I have tried using Print Organizer using the print style by defining from shape and defining by cell. All I get is the first XS sheet. Can someone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Or is this simple task not available in SS4??

Thank you, Cheri

Profile Labeler - Scaled, incorrect elevation

Kevin Bogert — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 22:17:05 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user.

I am trying to label my profile, I select my chain and my profile and when I set profile settings. I set my DP where the X & Y axis meet and make sure that the reference station and reference elevation is correct. My vertical scale is 10:1 so when I go to label my profile it has the incorrect elevation. Right now, in profile settings; the horizontal and vertical scale are set at .001

Another quick question; Is it best practice to label in profile dgn? or in sheet dgn (profile dgn referenced in)?

delete cross section model

Kevin Bogert — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 20:50:48 GMT

I have been struggling to cut cross sections the way that I want them. When I run the create cross section command, it creates the cross sections and then opens them in a viewport named "xxxxx Temp" and then if I close and reopen dgn the viewport is gone. But when I go to cross section viewer, there is a drop down of all the temp cross sections I have created. How do I delete these cross section models to be sure that when I am ready to put into sheets they are the correct cross sections being plotted.

Thanks

Create Cross Sections - Issue

Kevin Bogert — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 15:56:56 GMT

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10.

I am designing a full road reconstruction, I have horizontal and vertical geometry complete with a corridor attached and completed. When attempting to run the create cross sections command at 25' intervals, the program runs cross sections only if I select Stacked but if I select sheet it takes me to temp cross section view immediately with no cross sections created.

Let me know if I need to include more information to help.

Thank you!
