Cross Section Missing Components in some areas

Mallory Burke — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:04:54 GMT

Hello-

I am working on an interchange project with a mainline and 4 ramps (diamond interchange.) The model uses target aliasing to create one surface that includes the mainline and ramps. The cross sections looks fine until the ramps start. Once the ramps are included in the sections, I am missing random/inconsistent portions of components (of the various pavement layers.) I have the Use Mesh Algorithm for Cross Section Components on but still have these issues. I know it is not a linestyle/display setting since the sections look fine outside of the ramp limits. Any idea what could be causing this?

InRoads v8i SS2 - Pipe flow status incorrectly saying "Full" (HGL issues)

Mallory Burke — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:32:19 GMT

I am in the process of sizing pipes and setting inverts for a roadway project. I am having issues with the HGL values because when I go to edit/review the pipe, it is listed as "Full" (for flow status.) This is for an 18" pipe at 1% slope which should have plenty of capacity for the 1.30 cfs going to it. Further, the depth of flow is listed at 1.5', the entire pipe size. The confusing thing is that the capacity is listed at 11.38 cfs and the flow rate is 1.30 cfs. I am not sure if I have a setting that is making InRoads design the pipe as if it was flowing completely full. This is also impacting my HGL profile. The HGL is shown well above the proposed roadway surface. I have included a screenshot of the edit/review for one of the pipes.

Thanks, Mallory

InRoads v8i SS2: Surface triangulation issue

Mallory Burke — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 17:12:23 GMT

Hello all. I am having an issue creating my surface. Everything looks fine in my modeler but when the surface is created, the contours do not look correct. I turned the "triangulated surface" display on in my Roadway Designer and can see where the issue is... but I do not know what would be causing this or how to fix it. See attached image. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing this problem.

Thanks in advance for your help,

InRoads v8i SS2: Modeling Advice - Concrete Barrier Taper Detail @ Bridge

Mallory Burke — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:45:12 GMT

I need to incorporate the attached detail into my InRoads v8i SS2 Roadway Modeler for a highway project I am working on. I was hoping to get some advice on the best way to approach this. Currently, my model just uses the "SECTION A-A" typical throughout the entire corridor. I would like to add the single face concrete barrier (20:1 taper) and associated grading. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

InRoads v8i SS2: How to clean up Cut/Fill Transition?

Mallory Burke — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 14:15:46 GMT

I am using InRoads v8i SS2 to model an interchange. In many areas, I am using an end condition for a modified embankment ("false cut") that creates a channel like a standard/true Cut condition would but then puts a mound behind it. This is done in order to continue the cut channel through an area where we want to keep the roadway drainage in a channel to take it to a stormwater management facility. The proposed contours between "true cut" and "modified embankment" sections looks very messy. Any suggestions on the best way to tie these two sections together smoothly? (The "modified embankment" section is wider than the "true cut" section as it has the mound behind it.)

Thanks in advance,

Mallory
