  • Surface Triangle Volume with Shapes including Holes

    Anyone know if there is a way to use a shape with a hole in it to compute the triangle volume between surfaces? If we need to differentiate cut/fill by areas like this, the only way I can see to do it is use two shapes and then a secondary calculation…
  • Clipping Options when creating a surface not showing any entries

    I have 2 corridors that intersect which I'm trying to model but when creating the surface, the Clipping Options dialogue is blank. It seems to be trying to blend the 2 corridors together where they overlap instead of clipping. Am I missing something or…
  • InRoads Surface Edits with Modeler

    I am editing the surface manually instead of using a ton of end condition overrides in Roadway Designer. Once I have done the edits to the surface, will I be able to use the Model at all? Will the model override all my changes that I did manually to the…
  • How to generate Stake Out data from InRoads Surface

    Hello All, We have an InRoads SS2 surface and want to generate stake out points from the surface. Along the breaklines, we want critical points (end points, high/low points, change of direction), plus at an interval (let's say every 10m). Then,…
