• VBA Help with Creation of Input files

    Hi all, I'm a newbie to Microstation and Geopak so please bear with me. I have a requirement where I have to create the input files as a 2 step process. Once for spots at certain levels and then for break lines at the remaining levels. These inputs…

    Hello there, I just have a simple question, is there any way that we can choose another method of smoothing of Contours in Inroads , for example in Geopak we have more than one one method of smoothing as shown below: Thanks...

  • GEOPAK DTM Drape Elements tool not working in SS3

    An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution. Geopak ss3 no longer will no longer drape elements, using a 2d file and tin, to a 3d file. it does work in ss2.

    If you are not seeing components in some areas in particular areas where the components are somewhat irregular or non perpendicular to the geometry there is variable to "Use Mesh Algorithm for Cross Section Components" when this is toggled on the components…

  • Fill Slope Transitions / Parametric Constraints in the Roadway Designer

    Has anyone talked about the difference of modeling fills using a ration (e.g. 4:1) versus slope percentage (25%) particaularly regarding transitions? Example: A 2:1 slope transitioning to 4:1. One could expect the midpoint of this transition to be…

  • Re: Component Filter

    I see no InRoads method for filtering Components. Typically good component Naming conventions can group the components well in the list and can be sorted by Name or Style or Description. In order to make sorting work to its full benefit you should take…

  • Inroads V8i/V8i Select Series compatibility issue

    I have a student using a 64-bit win7 version of inroads V8i Select Series at his home and coming in to our lab (32-bit winXP with V8i) his dtm files are not recognized. The default save format for V8i Select series is an 8.11.7- is there a way…

  • TIN from Shape File

    Is there a way to create a TIN file from a GIS Shape file? I've heard that Data Acquisition might be able to do it, but it's not very apparent when I poked around in the module. Thanks.

  • Re: Power Civil: Import HECRAS

    Neil, There is no tool to directly import that format. You could try exporting to a more generic format from the other product OR edit the file you have to remove all data except the XYZ data. Then you can import that data using the DTM…

  • Re: LandXML Import

    Most LDD projects, if created properly, contain the breaklines also. If so, follow the procedure to export the fault lines from LDD, then import the .flt file using the IR text import wizard. Then assign symbologies to the features as needed. This is…

  • Geopak CR - Minimum length Contour to Label

    I am currently erasing a lot of of extra index contour labels (the labels are large since it is a large scale drawing) I have lots of small index contours that form small closed loops (The TIN is LiDAR generated, so I have lots of these). Each contour…

  • Duplicate Surface Error in Site XM

    I am trying to open two fairly large (123MB and 143MB) dtms. Originally there was supposed to be one huge dtm but because of the file size it was split into two. I can open one but when I go to open the other I get the screen saying "Duplicate surface…

  • Re: Intersection of two surfaces as a line with real "Z" value

    CR: 1) Create a Delta TIN between the 2 surfaces. 2) Load the ZERO contour of that Delta TIN into your drawing (it will be at elevation zero). The zero contour is actually where the 2 original surfaces intersect. 3) Go to the DTM tool Drape>Vectors…

  • Geopak equivalent to InRoads DTM

    I'm trying to determine what the equivalent GeoPak tool/file is to InRoads DTM. I know a DTM is a digital terrain model, however, it looks like in InRoads it is more than just an xzy file, or break line file? (I'm not familiar with InRoads) Is it equivalent…
