Hi guys,
Quick question, In my previous projects the SS4 tools for creating geometry then exporting to gpk/alg worked the best. Recently, I've been told that it should go the other direction. First create in SS2 then import to SS4.
Just wanted to get your opinions on that. Thanks!

All of the tools of Ss2 are in Ss4 and Ss10, except for the Roadway Designer, Express Modeler, Site Modeler and Cross Sections. You can mix InRoads Created Geometry with Civil Geometry, but you must be careful.
Our workflow that we adopted was for very experienced InRoads users to manage all major alignments using InRoads and to import from memory whan needed in Open Roads. Then, use the Civil Geometry tools to layout any minor geometry - curb returns, traffic islands, turn lanes, etc. using the civil geometry tools so they are ruled to the major geometry. This allowed users to use and retain their InRoads skiles and knowledge while learning the Civil Geometry.
