when you open cogo and type a gpk number, it will create a new one if it doesn't exist. here is how you store a chain using store graphics.

here are the wikis on openroads in ss4

Where can I find OpenRoads tools in V8i Geopak? Also, are there step by step instructions on building a GPK file and an alignment in the link above? I use GPKs all the time, but never create them. Thanks.

ok. you can use the openroads tools, or create an alignment in cogo using geopak and run existing ground xs.

No, I am using V8i with Geopak SS4 (I think).

Are you using OpenRoads? you can import the tin and create a terrain model, then create an alignment using the geometry tools and cut your xs.
