• High resolution draping and export to Lumenrt

    The best workflow is to create a reality mesh (3SM).

    Scalable Terrain Model still exists but 3SM offers greater capabilities.

    The good thing is that the workflow is almost the same than using STM.

    1. Open Reality Modelling workflow
    2. Open Attach ribbon
    3. Create New reality mesh from the Reality Mesh group
      Set the coordinate system, always better
    4. Add the data
    5. Add the texture using Edit menu
    6. Generate the 3SM

    You will get the full…

  • New Bentley Rail Special Interest Group (SIG) Virtual Meetings Start April 27

    Please join J.P. Gauthier and Ian Joyce for the first virtual meeting of the Bentley Rail Special Interest Group (SIG) on Wednesday, April 27. Convenient sessions are scheduled for 10 a.m. EDT and 5 p.m. EDT and will share the same agenda. The topic for this month is Analyze Subsurface Geotechnical Conditions and how to:

      • Evaluate earth and rock conditions associated with a tunnel location
      • Ensure that the rigorous…

  • Intelligent Rail Signal Design – The Future is Now!

    Hatch Mott MacDonald - the winner of the 2014 Be Inspired Award for Innovation in Rail and Transit, will present how an intelligent signal design process helped them to reduce design time, increase quality & enable closer collaboration with civil engineering.

    Relative to conventional CAD, intelligent design has enabled Hatch Mott MacDonald to:

    • Deliver signal designs up to 40% faster
    • Reduce signal design cost by 35…
  • H Regression and V Regression on Existing Rail Road Data

    I am having a data set of Existing Rail Top Spot levels for a lenght of 2 Km;

    Imported in Rail Track - Gometry Project as Cogo-Points. Now, I require auotmatic alignmnet fitting on rail spot levels in Horizontally and Vertically.

    Would like to change Horizontal slew up to 50 mm and Vertically lift up to 50mm, for which Regression has to be carriedout.

    Since, I dont have any existing other rail track data, except only…

  • benching and/or terracing

    how does this tool work if a wish to break up a slope evenly with benching? it doesnt seem to terrace a slope evenly with any input i have put in...

  • How to use benching / "terrace" ?

    When using InRail's component "End Condition" properties how does create benching or terracing?... if I am using this box?? the benching? how wide? is that with step elevation? from datum... it is unclear the relationship between these and  the resulting behavior with input... if the datum is 30 and step elevation 5 ... shouldn't it extrapolate  an even division along the slope?

  • Plotting alignment using heights and offsets

    This is my first post, hopefully someone can help?

    I want to be able to plot a platform adjacent to a designed centreline in Railtrack.

    I have a spreadsheet of heights and offsets and chainages that takes into account end/centre throw and cant effects of the design.

    I need to apply these offsets 'normal' to the alignment in order to generate co-ordinates along the platform edge at 2m intervals.

    I'm not sure…
