Hello,
I have used Create Sleepers in the past, it was working.
Now when I open the dialogue, enter parameters for standard scalloped concrete ties, the pesky prompt attached to the cursor keeps asking SELECT EXISTING RAIL TRACK instead of Select Track Centerline.
When I try to select track alignment in 2D, it says 'Element is in a model not allowed for this tool'. If I select in 3D model, it says 'Element not valid for the tool'. Is there any sane way to figure this out, which model to use, which element to use?????
There is PDF in the training dataset but it says nothing about what model to use for this routine and what elements are qualified for it.
Another thing: I have alignments in 2D model. If I need them in 3D, how do I transfer them into 3D? What a mess.....
I am aware of the workflow: the rails must be created first. I did initially created rails, then got the prompt 'Select Existing Rail Track' instead of 'Select Track Centerline' as supposed to. Whatever Existing Rail Track means.... never seen it before since started using Open Rail few years ago.
I just did it in the latest version and did not have any issues. In the latest version, you have 2 feature definitions you have to select (one for centerline and one for inside edge) and a template for the rails. When you select all 3, you click on your alignment to generate the rails. It will generate the "Rail Track" you are looking for. Once the "Rail Track" is generated, you can create the sleepers.
If it won't let you create rails on your alignment, then I would guess you have issues with the alignment.
If you click the alignment, go to Properties and take a screenshot...
Thanks! It did work!
Now, how in the world are we supposed to know this????? In addition to persistent funny foreign terminology, there are no instructions on updates and changes from Bentley whatsoever.
it DID allow to create rails, but not ties
I see this is totally different from Routes and Railways I use in Overhead Line Designer
It should be here What's New? (bentley.com)
But for this one it is missing
