Problems showing existing storm drain pipes on the sections. - Geopak SS3

May I ask if you tried the SUE tools.  I might suggest trying these as well.

No I have not tried the SUE tools.

I am new to using SS3. I would like to avoid the additional learning curve with the additional software.

Do you happen to know if there is an additional charge for activating the license?

One thing I notice with your element template is that you have a Cell Settings defined and not Point Settings.  The Cross section tool is looking at the element template for the point settings.

So you will need to make that change for each pipe as shown above.  You can delete the cell settings portion.  Or just leave it if it is too much trouble.

I think you may also want to create a new dgn file and reference one at a time the corridor model, existing terrain, and the control dgn.  don't turn nesting on.  Then see if the cross sections plot correctly.

Beebe,

No luck.

I tried your suggested answer but it did not work.

Thanks,

Phil

are you going to produce geopak xs? if so, just use the ancillary data tool in legacy geopak.

No, He is using OpenRoads to do all of it.

The following is the message I receive when I attempt to activate the product.

This Product Add-in enhances the functionality of GEOPAK. Using Subsurface Utility Engineering will log additional usage of Subsurface Utility Engineering and may result in incremental cost. Continue loading?

Honestly, I have attempted (in my opinion) the most basic functions in GEOPAK SS3 and I get mixed results. Sometimes it works great sometimes it fails and costs me much time.

I have a feeling that the Subsurface Utility software will cost me in time and money.

I have created a file with simple lines and simple feature definitions to the lines. When I plot the cross sections, I get very bad results. The features that I created are basically the same as an edge of proposed road. Simply mark an “X” at the elevation of the feature on the section. I am not certain how I could do something wrong with such basic linework.

I am very frustrated with the product at the moment.

I think that I will need to plot utilities the old way for now until the product improves.
