Why does the help on the Create Cross Section in SS4 not work? I click on the help button on the dialog and it just comes up as a blank page. How can I get it to show the help docs?

When doing some testing with SUDA, why would I get an error when changing the Headloss Method from the "HEC-22 Energy (Second Edition)" to "HEC-22 Energy (Third Edition)"? Or where to set that EGL in the calculation option? Thanks.

Using "Create Cross Sections" within Corridor Modeling, the origin of my design cross sections is placed incorrectly when using stacked or sheet cross sections. They are placed incorrectly when a cross section is going thru a vertical curve. When viewing…

Is there a way or method to create drainage areas with multiple land uses in SUDA, similar to the way that GEOPAK Drainage use to work? If so, how would you do it? Everything that I see in SUDA is you have to create the drainage areas with only one "land…

Can someone explain to me what the settings under the Linking Code Feature Exclusions is used for Thanks Dan

We are trying to use the linking code UD to set pipe inverts when our Surveyor shoots the top of casting - has anyone gotten this to work and can provide an example We use our linking codes after the p-code separated by a space We have tried SI[space…

Hello, I need to find the volume between two terrain models but also restricted by a plane elevation (floodplain). Is there a way to accomplish this with PowerGeopak? Thanks! Ben

I have processed an existing survey with dtm of an intersection of two roads. Another party has designed the alignment and profile and is currently referenced into my dgn. How do I import the alignment and profile into by dgn where I can utilize the Active…

Someone deleted our main alignment. There was a bunch of linework that all referenced that one particular line/chain. When opeing the file where the linework resides, all the relationships were lost. Is there anyway to restore the relationships without…

What happened to the site modeler module in PowerGeopak? I used to use this for site modeling and design, however with PowerGeoPak I cannot locate this option. What is the new method of doing this type of design work? Surely this is still an option?

I am trying to build a template for a retaining wall in Open Roads. How do I get the depth of the retaining wall to vary with the terrain? Also, how do I add a fill end condition at the bottom of the retaining (this also needs to vary with the terrain…

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to model few meters high fill as a component. I can imagine using end condition elements to create a mesh along the corridor, but this is time consuming and hard to scale (width of the fill along the corridor is changing…

I've created a feature definition for a manhole and defined separate templates for the plan view cells and 3D cells. However, when I place the manhole in my model it shows both the 2D and 3D cells in my 2D environment. Is there a setting that I am missing…

I am trying to reference a .tif file, a map that I downloaded from USGS, and it is not referencing in the correct location. It keeps referencing at (0,0). The steps that I took were: 1. Workspace-->Preferences-->Raster Manager-->Georeference--> I set…

With Bentley's continued push to remove all legacy tools, there are still missing elements that require detailed explanation on what their SS4 equivalent function is. One in particular - Ancillary Features. Ancillary features is a great (while soon…

I have been working regularly with SUE in this file for about 3 months, and did not have any issues until last Friday when GEOPAK crashed when I selected SUE nodes. I can click on any other item in the file, including SUE links and edit normally. I can…

I am trying to create a proposed cross section for a ramp and frontage road and have been using a GEOPAK manual to help me through it (I am very new to this). When I insert the information into "shape clusters" and click "Typical" I receive an error stating…

Hello, I am designing a template that involves a standard two directional curbed road-way (split between two templates (one for left and one for right)) with sidewalks (shown as a vertical line with no horizontal dimension) adjacent to the curbside, and…

A DOT has required my company to start using OpenRoads. This DOT has always used seed files, that we are required to use, that were converted from V7 to V8. Will using these seedfiles with OpenRoads cause any problems with the operation of OpenRoads?…

In large projects, often there are multiple files representing different areas of utilities, which creates the need to have a conduit connect to a node within a referenced DGN. When ever I do this, the program shuts down entirely or does not allow it…

Looking for a way, either a natural tool, or custom macro, that allows a user to synchronize ALL templates within ALL corridors of a DGN all at once? It seems rather cumbersome to synchronize 1 template at a time, from each corridor. Large projects…

Hello, does anyone know how to clip sheets with a scale of something like 40:400? I'm using Microstation V8i PowerGeopak. Thank you

I lost my Plan Element information under the point control when the design line work was modified. I have tried to use the drop down and select a new element but it doesn't seem to stay. Anyone else have this issue or know of a way to fix this so…

I am having trouble developing the correct element templates that will be used for utilities. I need the utilities to be detected as a feature when using Corridor Modeling Annotate Cross Sections. However the feature definition for conduits does not…
