What happened to the site modeler module in PowerGeopak? I used to use this for site modeling and design, however with PowerGeoPak I cannot locate this option. What is the new method of doing this type of design work? Surely this is still an option?
Site Modeler was removed in SS4, in favor of the OpenRoads site modeling tools. If you need the old site modeler then you will need to keep an older version for this. SS2 and SS4 can be installed simultaneously on the same computer.

ok, where can I find the openroads site modeling options? it that included in powergeopak ss4? or is it something separate from powergeopak? I need to know how to make this work.
Open your Tasks dialog - that's where the OpenRoads tools are. They don't look like the Site tools used to, and I'm not entirely sure that all the older options are well represented.
You would Import your TIN to create a Terrain Model of your existing ground, I know that. I'll leave the rest of the explanation to those folks who know what they are talking about.

The workflow for site design in OpenRoads is:
What's not available that you would ave been accustomed in Site Modeler?
My opinions:
You might find some training materials for site design in LEARN. Learning the site design workflows is not something I would recommend to self teach. You will probably get frustrated because we all tend to try to learn something based on what we already know. Many of the vertical tools function similarly to the site modeler tools but, you really need to clear your mind and act like a newbie when learning site design.
