Hi good day to all, iam very new in Bentley applications. I created some alignments and surface. After that when I am trying to create a profile, it shows “NO TRANGLES FOUND IN SURFACE” could anybody please help.
Regards
DK
Its lok like the dtm is loaded, could you please give me some more help…
It's pretty clear that your surface not only contains no triangles, but doesn't even contain any data.
When I am creating a surface it is always like this. Surface is creating, but expanding the surface tab(+sign) its showing all zero value as shown in the above screen shoot. How can I solve this issue?
How are you creating the surface?
Thank you for your help…..
Let me explain how I created the surface
Could you please tell me where I did the mistake, and help?
It sounds like you are using InRoads SS3 or SS4. Is that correct? It also sounds like you are creating an "InRoads" Surface and and "OpenRoads" Surface (Terrain). They are not the same thing. If you are using InRoads SS3 or SS4, you are working with a transitional version of the software that is part InRoads and part OpenRoads. Creating and OpenRoads Terrain doesn't automatically create an InRoads surface. That may be your basic confusion. Are you just trying to learn this software, or use it on a project in a production environment? SS3 and / or SS4 are not good versions to begin learning on. I would recommend either InRoads SS2 or OpenRoads Designer CONNECT.
i am using
Bentley PowerCivil for Middle East V8i (SELECTseries 4)
Okay. Someone else will have to chime in to help you with the specifics then because I skipped the SS3 / SS4 transitional versions and am using either SS2 or OpenRoads Designer CE. But if you are creating the Terrain in OpenRoads you'll need to export it to an InRoads DTM to do what you want. ... or just create it in InRoads instead of the OpenRoads Terrain route.
Mark is on the right track. In the Ss3/Ss4 versions you have to execute some commands using the Traditional InRoads tools and others using the Open Roads tools. Profiles are one that needs to use the InRoads tools and needs InRoads data to function.
You seem to have the alg file containing alignment data, but you also need to fill a DTM with terrain data. While Open Roads provides a method to automatically write alg, it does not provide the same for DTM's. In the terrain tasks ant it's popup menu, is an export surface tool to write terrain data to the traditional applications, like InRoads. You could also export to LandXML. The export tools always create a new file. They cannot update an existing file only overwrite one. If you already have a DTM but its empty using LandXML might be the best option as you can import the LandXML into the InRoads DTM.
Also ALG and DTM's in InRoads are saved in memory until written out to a file.
BTW most Power Civil for [country] are based upon InRoads. There are GEOPAK based versions, too. Ss4 is the last version of any InRoads/GEOPAK/MX based version. They all contain some Open Roads components. The next version for any of those users is Open Roads Designer which has no traditional Bentley Civil Products tools.
