Hello
I am running Microstation V8i.
I need to get offset and elevations of a particular set of points on a cross-section. Is there a way to get these elevations if I fix the offset to increase by X feet after every DP? In other words; if I fix the offset; can I get the elevations of these points by automatically using Geopak?
Also, is there a way that I can export the offset/elevation that I get for these points into Excel?
Thank you.
Hi,
I'm sure there's a number of ways to achieve this and "how" you are creating your cross sections may dictate the answer.
GEOPAK SS2:
If you create your cross sections using criteria, you could have the criteria create a point and piece of text on each XS at the location you wish to export the Station/Offset value for and then find and extract that point to COGO by using the XS Reports.
There is a tool there that can search XSs for a piece of text and store that point into COGO.
And, using the Survey reporting tools, you can tabulate that list of points that are stored in COGO as a Point Number/Station/Offset/Elevation (the actual columns are configurable) and place that table into MicroStation and/or store it as a text file.
If you are not using criteria to create your XSs, please provide information regarding how you are creating them for an alternative answer.

The XS that I created are drawn using the "existing ground cross-sections"'; from XS pattern lines that I drew on the "existing topo" file. These sections are created directly from the TIN model. There are no proposed cross-section elements.
can you post a capture of what you have? i am not sure i understand. if you have existing ground only, which points do you want to report?

Above is a capture of 1 of the XS. Basically; I need elevations along all points marked by the white lines for Hec-Ras modeling.
ok. go to our cross section tools. there is a tool there called xs reports. we have hec ras reports that you can run
