• GeoPAK SS4 & InRoads SS4 Interoperability?

    Hello, I currently have GeoPAK SS4 ( 08.11.09.878) installed and I am using OpenRoads technology. However, I am now assigned to a project that has been developed using InRoads SS4 OpenRoads technology. Are there any interoperability issues or concerns…
  • Import Template from Graphics in GeoPAK SS4

    Hi All, There are a couple of older threads (2-3years ago) that noted the removal of the import template from graphics functionality after SS2. CR's were opened to add it back. Is there an update on this? Is this functionality available in GeoPAK SS4…
  • Complex Terrain Model Boundary

    I am modeling a series of complex and detailed urban roadway corridors and intend to assemble the various terrain models generated into various complex terrain models. Because I am modeling this complex roadway project by construction stage, I will essentially…
  • Placing a Civil Cell

    When I made the civil cell, I set the center line of the horizontal to 0' elevation (edge of pavements at 2% grade). When I try to place the civil cell, I think what is happening is it wants to end at the 0' elevation. How do I make the cell level with…
  • RE: Project Explorer Survey Tab

    I know this is confusing. The drop down is for initiating a "legacy" version of Geopak Survey. The Project Explorer tab is only relevant to OpenRoads survey workflow. These are two very different applications. Legacy Geopak Survey operates using an external…
  • Profile by Variable Slope from Element does not work for variable slope

    Using the Profile by Variable Slope from Element tool, I can store a profile with 'Slope Style' = Constant (2% from reference profile): But with 'Slope Style' = Linear (transition from 2.5% to 2.0%), the profile displays as shown below and the alignment…
  • Profile from referenced Corridor - Why is this such a battle!

    Running the latest Geopak/ Inroads 08.11.09.845 and even though this version maintains a triangulated top surface in the background the profile from surface tool STILL creates a broken profile that will jump randomly from the top of the component to the…
  • Shift in the alignment

    How do I make a profile using OpenRoads civil tools for a road that has a shift in the alignment? I am using GeoPak.
  • View Attributes - Civil Geometry

    Trying to Civilize some Microstation elements and some work and some fail to civilize and I am having to redraw. It would be very handy if civil Geometry was a View Attribute that I could toggle on/off. Terry
  • Move Parallel in Civil Geometry

    I want to simply move a line (Civil Geometry) parallel to itself for a distance defined by snapping to some other element. I don't see that there is a simply way to do this very basic thing. Move parallel... I don't want a copy, I want to move the existing…
  • Clipping Volumes and DCDrape - Openroads

    I am having several issues with DCDrape.pal First, the terrain elements in Openroads do not appear to support materials being attached. The dialog will attach and the query will find the DCDrape material but they do not show up in the element properties…
  • Profiles in SS4 and Snapping

    AccuSnap needs to work inside the profile view. If Accusnap is on then the profile tools should properly lock in on elements, not lock the float around and require the user to lock inthe pop up window. If you need to add a lock somewhere to make the inputs…
  • Update previously Imported Geometry from gpk

    I have used the Import Geometry feature to import several horizontal alignments from the project's gpk file in order to create superelevation sections. Which is working fine, however, some of these alignment have been redefined in the gpk and the changes…
  • Crashing in Civil Message Center

    I am running Microstation SS3 08.11.09.608 and Geopak SS4 08.11.09.788 When using Civil Message Center I can right click and choose to zoom to an error but if I try to right click and "add to selection" the software crashes. I have the simplest of files…
  • Civil Geometry

    Not being able to see/display the profile of civil geometry from another file or model needs to be resolved. It is hard to make the case that this is better than the legacy products when something so simple is precluded. Also, we need the ability to…
  • Civil Geometry - Design Intent

    When creating horizontal or vertical civil geometry we should have a toggle that will retain or not retain the "design intent". Having to go back and remove constraints and "re-civilize" elements is just a lot of extra clicks. Further design intent, and…
  • Project Explorer Settings

    It is annoying that we can't simply right click on Project Explorer to get the settings... especially given the propensity for it to "forget" which tabs you opened. Please add this ability.
  • Station Offset Command

    With Inroads we have the ability to use the station offset command for precise input relative to an alignment. The syntax being: SO=Station,Offset,Elevation,Alignment This ability seems to be replaced by civil accudraw however the more powerful feature…
  • End Conditions not updating / deleting (GEOPAK SS3 - OpenRoads)

    When I move or delete transitions or template drops in a corridor, the tie-in slopes are remaining. When I extend a different template drop into the area where the deleted template was, there appears to be a conflict (see second screenshot). I've tried…
  • Creating Terrain Model from Corridor Element and Complex Terrains

    All, I followed the steps in this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UON7jngtRU ) to create a terrain model from a corridor. However, the terrain model that was generated does not follow the surface of the corridor (see screenshot below - the…
  • OpenRoads - Create 3D Slope to Target - not working as expected

    (Posted on behalf of user) Create 3d by slope to target not working as expected. I am applying the tool to a 3d line that is in cut. I want the slope be -1% to the existing terrain. It always ties to the existing terrain at a positive slope. It does…
  • GEOPAK SS3 Model - Feature Definition drawing on Default level

    When Corridor Modeling and showing cross-sections I was having the issue of a certain surface feature always drawing on the active level rather than the level that it was supposed to as defined by an Element Template. This is supposedly happening because…
  • Expecting to See OpenRoads functionality in PowerCivil for LA

    An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution. I expected to see OpenRoads functionality in PowerCivil for LA SS2 08.11.07.542, but I can´t see it. Please Help.
  • SS3 Existing ground missing in cross section view
