SUE Library - Geopak Drainage Nodes/Conduits

Hi,

I want to use the Geopak TXDOT drainage library (e.g: storm nodes/conduits) in OpenRoads SS4 (SUE). I went through this post - Bentley Communities.and followed the steps.

The XML exported from there, I got to import in SUE, which came up in the engineering library.

But, when I'm placing the node or conduit, the feature definition seen is only "Generic"!

How to bring this imported XML library, which is seen under the engineering library ?

(Earlier I had not activated the SUE license, but later I activated successfully, and then did it again in the same dgn. I hope this is not the issue!)

    This is my favorite line out of your comments here. It is a significant undertaking to develop these. I am working in one particular workspace (for ORD) and have created nearly 100 feature definitions, which equates almost twice that many feature symbologies, element templates and cells. And now I am moving onto look at the proposed utilities, where the effort is similar. One of the complications we run into here is each state, and often individual agencies in them, have different standards for drainage design. The structures I used doing road design in Minnesota don't resemble at all the structures in Colorado I grew up with. Do to the effort involved, I think a number of agencies that began the development originally for SS3, have since changed efforts to ORD, and I think TxDOT is in that group. 

    Enough on the soap box there. To your question, I did a quick check of a few of the DOTs that I am familiar with and I don't see anything in most of them. Looks like FDOT and CDOT may have some content. I didn't dig too deeply, but there are some DGNLIBs named there that give me a little hope.

    Again, these aren't going to match TxDOT but may give you a feel for what might be out there.
