With any luck, this will be an easy question. Our client has requested that we provide the following deliverables:
- Control Points in FWD- Alignments in ALG- Surface in DTM- Surface Boundary in DTM- Topo in FWD
Not being too familiar with all the tools in SS3 Geopak, I am having trouble seeing exactly how some of this can be done.
1) Is there a way Geopak can export to FWD? Everything I see XML and ALG.2) Once I have all my data imported, how can I selectively export to FWD (or XML) only the control points? The same question could also be asked about the surface and boundary DTMs. 3) It seems like I am continually having issues editing my SMD file and then bringing it back into SS3 as an XML. Are there known issues with this? Along these same line, what is the best way to edit the Survey Feature Definitions once I have linked the XML? I don't see the same options as I did when it was an SMD file. Do I need to do any further editing through element templates?
Thanks,Ken
AFAIK these are Bentley InRoads file types/data and with the openroads tech. I thought you can
export that kind of files
FWD- survey data
DTM- Surface and Surface Boundary

I know you can export to DTM, but my question on that was if there was a way to separately export the boundary and surface as two different DTMs. A similar question to this is how to export certain points (control points) to an FWD file. So far, I haven't found how to export anything to FWD, only to ALG.
FYI - I am running MS V8i SS3 and GPK SS3.

You must have a "Export field-book". I found it in SS2 (Data Acquisition, now Survey in SS3)
Right click on the Field-book in SS3 Survey, Choose Export, choos InRoads Format.
I would attach a picture, but I don't get all Community forum functions with Mozilla Fire-fox any more!
I see the option to export the field book, but it only gives me certain options related to the Platform (InRoads, Geopak, MX,and also XML). When I select the InRoads options, the file type it preloads is an ALG with no options to select otherwise.
Any idea why?
Hi Kcaitch,
you're right there is no *.FWD option to write the Survey Data. You have to create a Ticket with the Select Services Ticketmanager.: appsnet.bentley.com/.../addcall.aspx and contact Bentley Support
I have a related post running with no responses. We need to be able to create XML reports on par with the legacy Survey products. I need to be able to export a PNEZD CSV file where the codes in the Description contain all the linking codes that were imported. On key method to determine why a code fails to draw the correct linework is being able to display the full imported linking codes. This new approach where they get parsed and no longer exist in the survey has some serious flaws. Only InRoads Survey and its Survey XML Reports have allowed me to read and use attribute information in multiple ways. To lose that will severely impact many of our workflows.
