• Geometry tracking

    Hello- Is there any feature in powercivil/geopack that allows tracking of an alignment's stationing? We used to use this feature in inroads but I can't seem to find anything similar in powercivil. Thank, Kevin
  • Re: Copy Parallel Error-Site Modeler

    Hi, the tool appears to be working as designed which suggests the problem you are experiencing is data related. Can you please: 1) Attach the DGN and GSF to this posting. Ensure you highlight, in some way, the element you are trying…
  • Re: InRoads V8i SS1 - Import Surface DEM (tif?)

    Hi again, the other Data Aquisition workflow is this: 1) Open Data Aquisition 2) Drag and drop the TIF file (from Windows explorer) into the Data Aquisition data tree panel. 3) The surface will be created. Note -…
  • Re: Integrated civil platform

    Robert and Dan - Thanks for your replies. I think what Robert hit on is what I am looking for, that the new platform is in the works. From both of your replies I have a clarifying question for both of you, but first let me explain the context of the question…
  • Re: Inroads Site Modeler Issue

    If I recall correctly, all elements are created as breaklines and, if deemed necessary based on the shape of the elements you create you require a "boundary" feature, you would reassign the DTM feature type once the wizard is complete.
  • Re: InRoads V8i SS1 - Import Surface DEM (tif?)

    Hi Chuck, Data Aquisition, that was delivered as part of InRoads SS1, will certainly import the DEM data. 1) Open Data Aquisition 2) Focus on the DA data tree. 3) Right Click on the Surfaces branch. 4) Select Create…
  • Civil 3D Pipe Network Conversion

    My company is trying to develop a way to utilize the intelligent Civil 3D Pipe Networks, but we are required by most of our clients to display all of our data in a 3D model in Microstation. I am trying to create a workflow to convert Civil 3D 2012 Pipe…
  • Re: XIN for Data Acquisition

    Hi, there's been another refresh recently posted for PCNA. 08.11.07.244 As I said, we did some more work on the conversion of all the "native" style files (PSS/XIN/SMD) to DA Styles... Hopefully this will help.
  • Import .ALG into Geopak SS3

    Is there any way to import a .ALG file (created with InRoads SS2) into Geopak SS3? I see all sorts of data file types that can be loaded into the Survey Book, but oddly no .ALG file type. Is there some other way that I supposed to add the horizontal geometry…
  • Re: Geopak Site Modeler Element

    Hi Neil, The config variable finds Site elements that do not have vertices (the situation encountered and discussed in this thread) and looks at an internal copy of the DTM data that is stored inside the GSF and adds the vertices back onto the…
  • Multiple Installs (MS, GPK, InRoads)

    For a variety of reasons, I am trying to get MicroStation, Geopak (both SS2 and SS3), and InRoads (SS2) installed on my machine. I had it all installed at one point, but I had a variety of issues that crept up. To try and get everything working correctly…
  • Re: Corridor Modeling Template Developement for Divided Sections

    this is correct. if you experiment with the affixes on and off in combination with the mirror option, you will get the desired results for naming all points. In general I create the Paving buildup portions as individual templates (or grouping…
  • Disappearing Template Edit Dialog

    I have been receiving some questions from users about the template editor dialog disappearing and unable to get it back without having to restart MicroStation and InRoads or GEOPAK. We have tracked this down to the following Preference setting... WORKSPACE…
  • 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…
  • Re: Which program?

    I would concur with my Benley colleagues that the GEOPAK Site Modeler functionality is ideal for just that, Site Modeling . It contains associativity within "features" and autoclipping and automerging for the overall site dtm. it is similar in behavoir…
  • OpenRoads Survey - Data Not displaying

    (Posted on behalf of user) hello, we used the openroads survey to create a file from ascii data. the file looked good and was as we wanted. we added a google map to the file and it crashed. now when we open, there is nothing displayed. the project…
  • SELECTseries 3 and Workspaces

    For those of you getting started, I wanted to take a moment to point out we have delivered a sample workspace to help you get started. Select the user entitled "Examples". Then for the Project select Bentley-Civil-Imperial or Bentley-Civil-Metric. Finally…
  • Re: Power Civil: Dynamic slope tags wrong

    Hi Neil, you are spot on. They are located "stationed along" the perimeter. The scenrio you proposed seems likely.
  • Re: Component Display in Profile

    Marc, Components are more of a Transverse entity in profile they would look very odd. The best approach here is to define alternate surfaces in tempate points, then use the modeler to generate the surfaces along with the alternate surfaces. In…

    Hi Hamilton, I've discrussed this enhancement with the development team. They tell me that there are a number of data collects that store this type of data and expect your request to be replicated amongst other users. I've created a ticket…
  • Alignment Conversion - Geopak to InRoads

    What is the best way to convert alignments back and forth between Geopak and InRoads? I am working with alignments that include spirals and have not had success automating the process. The best way that I have found currently is to convert using graphics…
  • Re: Data acquisition - load Leica dbx issue (InR V08.11.07.227)

    Hi Morten, There are preference type settings inside MicroStation (Settings>Design File>Data Aquisition) though there isnt anything specific to set for the different data collector types. Any chance you can send me the data files so we can…

  • Re: Power Civil: Dynamic slope tags wrong

    Hi Neil, It appears as though both the 10:1 and 4:1 slopes that appear in View 1 are both "stuck" at a previous l(or other) ocation (even though they show where they do...) The other locations for both of these is to the right of where they appear…
