Hello, I am trying to create a pond with a constant elevation bottom and with 100% side slopes underneath an existing surface. I have been told to do this using "Create Element from 3D Slopes" underneath the Model Detailing Toolbar. It asks for…

Hello all, Every time I add a clip reference the corridor seems to crash into itself.

Hello All, I am new to OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition. I am looking into minor grading of Basins and Channel. I am having issues with change my elements elevation. I have tried profile by constant elevation with no luck. Any one have some input…

I have been trying to figure out how to add a cell from the cell library to a corridor as a 3D element. Is there a way to do this? (similar to the way the nodes in SUE Modeling operate in OpenRoads)

How do I utilize the cell library (not civil cells) to create 3D elements in a corridor, such as, end terminals for MBGF, signs, etc.? I am using OpenRoads SS4.

Hi I'm working on a large project with multiple design packages and we are required to read in other's outputs from CAD. My problem is that the Inroads outputs as CAD files are never more accurate the 3 decimal places which is proving problematic…

I have a main survey file with 3 smaller, but related, surveys referenced to it. Next I create a Complex Terrain of all 3 surveys in the main dgn. How do I hide the other survey terrains in cross section viewer? I only want to show the Complex Terrain…

Hi all. I have a bounch of 2 d lines running along a railtrack, that I would like to convert to a 3d element. I need to able to give the line some minimum bend radius, and also a minimum offset from a terrain model so I can ensure having a certain amount…

Hello everyone, I have been surveying and designing civil projects for 15 years. Most of that time worked with GEOPAK. When we processed surveys with the .smd the linework was generated and gave the designer a view of the site on the computer. A .tin…

I need to display the 3D design features in InRoads SS4 / or any specific feature of the design top surface. How to do it?

Hi, I am creating a 3D model for a proposed Highway and I need to trim the limits of the mesh for breaks in the road at bridges. I have found a couple different ways to trim the mash to match the correct limits, however, each method creates a bunch…

I started in a 2D file and added 2 sewer manhole nodes and connecting pipe. I placed the manholes with elevation set the top of the terrain model. I adjusted the invert elevations for the pipes using the utility properties dialog. So all rim and invert…

Hi, I am trying convert our 2D background information into a 3D SUE model and then as I receive the daylighting results adjust my model. I am able to use the extract utilities from graphics tool to generate the original model. From what I have seen…

Hi Bentley and the forum members, We are using PowerCivil for Finland V8i (SELECTseries3) and would like to ask about the possibility to change the size of the components of a 3D cell. Is it possible to change the components of an already created cell…

Hello. I am new to Inroads and Microstation. Grid Display and axis are broken in PowerInroads V8İ on Windows 7 64bit. There is also blue line between axis. I do not exactly know the reason of this error. But I think this appeared after updating Nvidia…

Is there a way to measure between elements on the same plane when your in a 2D file and have an element in a 3D referenced file? Bob Mullenix Montana DOT
