  • Target Aliasing and Vertical Gore Tool

    Hello, I am working in InRoads XM on an Interstate project with Entrance and Exit ramps. I have a corrider set up for each alignment of mainline and ramp, respectively. What I am wondering is how the Target Aliasing tool works. What should my…
  • InRoads XM: odd transverse features created

    I have "create transverse features" toggled off, but Roadway Designer occassionaly creates them anyways, but in seemingly random spots. In this case, it was above a retaining wall but nowhere else. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using V8…
  • horizontal alignment tracking

    Sometimes in Inroads XM we have noticed an error that occurs with tracking horizontal alignments. After an horizontal alignment has been established and has been used for months, there have been times when you open a drawing in Microstation V8 (a drawing…
  • InRoads XM: Point control is corridor point

    I'm using corridor points for point controls, but not all of my corridors show up in the corridor drop down list. Am I only allowed to use certain ones? Tim
  • InRoad Stylesheet Question

    IR XM SP3 & MS XM What is the syntax for using the "EndAreaVolumeParameters" and "CrossSectionSurfaceEntry" elements in a stylesheet in the evaluation category? I'm trying to develop a report that lists the surface names, file locations, revisions…
  • Re: InRoads XM: Point control is corridor point

    Chris, You should use a parametric constraint to vary the bench width, not a point control. The corridor point control is to enable you to lock on to points in other corridors, not the one you are working on. Your feature control might work, but…
  • Re: .alg to be read-only

    Joe, Go to the Tools> Options> Geometry tab and toggle on Read-Only for the Horizontal Alignment and Cogo Buffer, Apply, and save the preferred preference. The next time that you open the XIN and ALG files, the geometry should be read-only. …
  • Inroads XM: parametric constraints

    Can anyone give me a quick rundown on parametric constraints: What are they? When do I use them? Where in inroads can you set them up? I can't find good info in the inroads help files - is there another resource that describes…
  • Re: Inroads XM: Runoff lengths are wrong

    Thanks for your time helping me with this Thomas, I figured out that setting the Maximum Delta G value is essential. This value should come from AASHTO2004 table 3-30, and is 0.44 for my road, not 1.0. I had disregarded it because I wasn't sure…
  • InRoads DTM Corrupting

    I have been creating DTM files of existing roads and waterways features but occasionally the files corrupt and I can narrow it down to specific features in the file. When I try and use these features it sends a message of internal error; access violation…

    In case you haven't noticed, 8.8 is full of bugs. I would update to 8.9 before spending too much time on this. Tim
  • Inroads XM: Automatic cross section matchlines

    I thought I saw a demo once where extra-wide cross sections in a set of cross sections were automatically split with matchlines. Is that a feature that Inroads has somewhere? I might have dreamed it, honestly.

  • Re: Intersection Modeling - Multicenter Curves

    Hi, There have been several posts over this issue recently. I suggest you do some research here. However there are a few tips I can figure out right now: 1. Run RD for each corridor 2. use MCC comand for curb returns - it…
  • Re: Wall Templates

    I'm not sure display rules are the right option here. Why not use parent/child relationships between the Fill_ and RW_ components? If you turned off "End condition is infinite" on the fill component, then each Fill end condition would be a test of how…

    Keri and Brian, Do the log-ins that you use to log into your computers have write access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry? If not, then you should see the behavior that you are currently seeing. Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • Re: InRoads. X-sections anotation problem
