Inroads Suite V8i "No triangle side found"

Inroads Suite V8i "No triangle side found" encountered during the triangulation process and halts.  What type of error is this or common causes in the breaklines that would result in this problem?  I have a 3D breakline file that I load into an empty surface using the IMPORT SURFACE ADVANCED tool...It appears to load correctly...then I triangulate the data and it errors.  If I just use the IMPORT SURFACE and load the breaklines by individual levels one at a time...and triangulate...It works.  Puzzled???

  • The vertical wall makes sense to me.  You have 3 points to triangulate but 2 of the point have the same XY coords with slightly different Z coords.  The ole can’t go pure vertical with a DTM…got a tilt it a tad.  The years I have been doing DTM and I have never gotten this error before...Has to be a record.

    Thanks Jeff

    Flipping triangles...You think they could make them sunnyside up. When the fur capabilty came about and some of the vizs guys were using it to make grass...I gave it a whirl with a proposed DTM I was working on.  Beat my head against the wall for 2 days trying to get the grass to grow.  Just happened to be in a flat iso view on one rendering.  I was growing grass the whole time.  I had billions of blades of grass.  You had to be a mole to see it.  hahaha
