Copy Parallel Error-Site Modeler

Use Microstation to Copy the element parallel the use the new edit element dialog and slope offset command...

I have seen this message before with complex elements, I believe it is due to the resulting slopes crossing on the created parallel element.

All,

Attach the required data set.

Hi,

I didnt see anything to indicate which element was the one that could not be copied... so I just started looking at the project in general.

There was 3 elements in the Roadway Object.

The outer edge of the roundabout (which is an alignment) and then 2 arc elements inside the outer edge that may have been for a lane??

Anyway, those elements looked a little odd. Element information on one of those elements returned an odd result. And the Model didint appear to be merging as expected... so it seemed like something was a little off.

So I deleted both of those elements.

I then used the copy parallel on the outer circle at a 2% slope ... and the result looks good.

Without knowing exactly what you were trying to do - I had to "guess"...

I've attached the dataset - this seems to be OK now and ready to move forward.

Hi,

I didnt see your "workflow" post before responding to your post that included the data... so these are a little out of order.

You workflow seems sound.

I'd suggest leaving a small gap in the outer circle... our co-ordinate geometry engine doesn't like a chain that is a 360 degree arc. Just leave a little gap in that circle - probably adjacent to the centerline of an incoming roadway would work well.

Try this, it may clear up some of the problems you are having.
