HEC-RAS to Inroads Surface

Nick,

It sounds as though the file that you are trying to import is not in the correct format.  For instance, here are the first few lines of my *.gis file.

BEGIN HEADER:
UNITS: METRIC
DTM TYPE:
DTM:
STREAM LAYER:
CROSS-SECTION LAYER:
MAP PROJECTION:
PROJECTION ZONE:
DATUM:
VERTICAL DATUM:
NUMBER OF PROFILES: 1
PROFILE NAMES:
PF 1
NUMBER OF REACHES: 1
NUMBER OF CROSS-SECTIONS: 16
END HEADER:

Notice the "NUMBER OF PROFILES: 1" line.  If I remove this line and try to import the file, I get the same error that you are receiving.  Please make sure that your file is in the correct format. 

See the following in the C:\Program Files\Bentley\InRoads Group V8.11\InRoads_V8i_Readme.chm file:

• The Generate Water Surface Data command has been tested on the following versions of software: HEC-2, v.4.6; WSPRO, v.6.0; HEC-RAS, v.2.2 and v3.1.1.

I hope this helps.

Jason,

I am having the same problem. My file contains the appropriate line, but Inroads pops up the same error. My file follows:

<SNIP>

BEGIN HEADER:
UNITS:
DTM TYPE:
DTM:
STREAM LAYER:
CROSS-SECTION LAYER:
MAP PROJECTION:
PROJECTION ZONE:
DATUM:
VERTICAL DATUM:
BEGIN SPATIALEXTENT:
Xmin: 6203196.50168351
Ymin: 2145915.49322526
Xmax: 6226085.45887091

END SPATIALEXTENT:
NUMBER OF PROFILES: 1
PROFILE NAMES:
Max WS
NUMBER OF REACHES: 1
NUMBER OF CROSS-SECTIONS: 1185
END HEADER:

</SNIP>

I tried moving and also removing the SPATIALEXTENT portion, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
