Nico, I went to lunch and came back. Now the error is gone and everything is working as usual. Maybe it took a minute for my computer to process all the resource files? Either way, I think it was removing the resource files that did the trick.

Thanks for all your help.

Ok. you need to make sure that your resource files are gone. Check in your working directory and make sure you have no .rsc files there. Also, see this post, in case they are being redirected

I am running v8i SS4, but I tried opening with SS2 and had the same problem.

As soon as I open the plan/profile sheet composition tool, a message appears that reads: "Missing Application Data. Input missing data?". If I click yes, it wants to know the PSL file, what type of sheet, the GPK, the chain name and the motif file. I have never used motif files because I always have my view attributes set to use current design file. I have never seen this error message before and use this tool all the time. If I click no and continue to work, the error pops up several times and when I try to clip my sheets, it says, "Unable to process sheets. Missing Motif file".

There was a geopak.exe process running this morning, and I ended it. I also deleted everything in the 8.11 folder. Then I started from scratch creating a brand new profile and PRJ and new DGN and I still receive this message. Yesterday, I tried filling out all the information it wanted. I just picked the DGN I was in as the motif file and the sheets processed, but the only thing in the DGN was the sheet. Then I changed my view attributes to use the motif and it never let me select a motif from there, and it still didn't attach my profile to the sheet or anything at all as a reference. Then I couldn't get the error message to pop back up again to remove the motif file or change it or anything. I tried deleting my resource files yesterday as well, but I'm not sure I got everything because I don't know where they all get stored.

Thanks.

what version of geopak are you running?

ok. can you describe your problem? what is it doing? not doing? have you tried cleaning your resource files?

make sure there are no hanging geopak.exe processes running in windows (task manager)

Delete everything under the 8.11 folder

C:\Users\ yourusername \AppData\Local\Bentley\MicroStation\8.11

No, I am only in a default model, I have it set to use the design file and not a motif.

are you also using different models for your clips?

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am receiving the same error when using the plan/profile sheet composition tool. I feel like I have tried everything. I have restarted my computer, restarted microstation, deleted resource files, moved my DGN and PRJ to another location, etc.

ok. all the clips need to be in the same model. try and reference the model and see if it finds it.

thanks for the reply Nico, but not sure I explained my problem well. Let me try again..

The designer I'm working with wants to place the clip shapes for each alignment into a different model of the microstation file. RampA clip shapes would be placed into microstation model "Ramp A". Ramp B clip shapes would be placed into Microstation model "Ramp B". etc...

Again, seems I can do this without any problem back in Geopak ss2. But, in Geopak ss4, I get an error message that reappears that I have to "OK" through multiple times (the error reappears over and over). In fact the error repeats the EXACT number of times that represent the other clip shapes in the other microstation models that aren't active. So, if model Ramp A has 5 clip shapes and model Ramp B has 7 clip shapes, I'll get the error 12 times when I try to create clip shapes into model Ramp C.

yes, it is supposed to create models within the dgn. I just tested it and it works fine.
have you tried cleaning your resource files?
