Catalog information with StormCAD Inroads Export

Ref: https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum/16819/stormcad-v8i-select-update---import-export-inroads-storm-sanitary 

In the same note, can the direction be reversed, whereby you can export StormCAD to Inroads S&S to include the Inlet and Conduit Catalog file? 

In other words, when you export StormCAD to Inroads, does the export include the material library or Catalog? 

  • Thanks Jesse. Unfortunately the office transition to OpenRoads Designer has been slow. 

  • Hi Ekene,

    I would recommend looking into OpenRoads Designer. This is a more seamless integration as it gives you all the civil design tools, along with all the StormCAD hydraulic analysis and design tools in the same user interface. No data import/export is needed. See:

  • Hi Sushma,

    manually entering the data is ok for few structures. However, when dealing with multiple structures will require a work around. I have heard of someone mention using notepad editor. Going back and forth between stormCAD and Inroads S&S is not seamless and some interoperability issues still remain.  

  • Hello Ekene, 

    I confirmed with the civil team, its not possible to import the .xml file of conduit catalog into Civil products from StormCAD. 

    About importing manually i mean copying and pasting conduit catalog data from StormCAD into InRoads manually one by one. 

    .
