• [ORD 2021 R1] COGO Point Layout via "Direction - Alignment" Intersect

    I've been working on the layout of a subdivision and can't get the InRoads Locate tools out of my skull. Those things were a beautiful set of tools for laying out COGO Points. So, does anyone know how I can do a very simple Direction - Alignment intersection…
  • InRoads Bridge Geometry - Create Girders

    I would like to use the InRoads Bridge Geometry tools to quickly layout girders on a tightly curved bridge. This would be a very useful tool if I could get it to work. Instead of manually drawing girder lines and checking max/min deck overhang, max/min…

  • reversing alignment text in inroads

    I currently have an alignment that goes from south to north 0+00 to 10+00 but when I display the stationing it reads from north to south.. how do u get to the style reverse the stationing to read right side up so its plan readable?
  • Re: Non-collinear/coincident - what's the harm?

    I routinely have non-collinear alignments on edges of pavements and such where there is the need for the angle points also. It seems to function fine in general. Once I had a single cross section that had a point control that wasn't properly working.…

    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. …
  • InRoad XM alignment without surface

    Just started using InRoad XM. I was required to come up with vertical elevation of a portion of train track. I have graphically imported the horizontal alignment (2D) and I've imported the survey text data of the verticall alignment. No available surface…
  • Elevations of Cogo Point Report showing '0' for every elevation.

    My question is about the "Traverse" function (Geometry > Traverse). In the previous versions of InRoads, the default selection for the distance under the "Course" area was Horizontal Distance. In V8i, the tool is defaulted to Slope Distance. Can this…
  • Re: InRoad XM alignment without surface

    The horizontal alignment received is 2D drawing with labellings of stations and curves and spirals. The vertical is based on part of the said horizontal alignment. Received was survey data in .XLS format. I import drawing for the horizontal geometry…

    Piotr, Currently, this is not possible. However, there is an existing change request to incorporate this functionality in the future (Reference S-23836\CR 247551). I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • Adjusting traverse values in InRoads Survey

    Is there any way to adjust the traverse values (northing, easting, elev) in InRoads itself and it dynamically change all the other points that were shot from the reassigned traverse values? I've tried numerous ways and it still keeps the original values…

  • Inroads - SS2 - Join Vertical Alignments

    Hello all, I have been searching for a way to join vertical alignments using geometry commands, and am struggling. I have seen some legacy posts talking of 'copying' the vertical elements from one alignment to the destination, but this doesn't seem…

    Chris, You did not mention the software that you are using but if you are using the InRoads Group, try Geometry> Horizontal Curve Set> Events> Alignment Point To Cogo. I hope this helps. Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • IR v8i - Removed Define Transitions By toggle

    In IR v8i, why was the Define Transitions By (Constant/Length) toggle removed from the Horizontal Curve Set tools and left solely in the Options? I used this toggle often since I have some alignments set by even length and some by even constant…
