• OpenRoads Crashes when Window not Visible

    Hi I'm running InRoads .845 and keep having this problem where if my superelevation editor or corridor objects window is hidden behind another window (I have two application windows running) and I go to the Window menu and try to select it it will Microstation…
  • Geopak SS3 OpenRoads Superelevation and Geometry Import

    I tried searching for this and came up empty. Sometimes, and not all the time or for each section, when I re-import geometry from a .gpk file to an Alignment/Profile in SS3, the superelevation sections already built revert to default stationing. Why…
  • Power civil Super elevation SS4

    Hi Is there a way to edit super elevations graphically by way of rules i.e. slopes or rate of change of super? I have the graphical display up and the table below but cant seem to find the feature i used so often in SS2. Regards, David
  • 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…
  • What is the effect of changing the "pivot edge" entry in the SS3 superelevation editor tool?

    I am trying to generate and apply superelevation at an offset from my horizontal alignment (similar to using a tie in the prior superelevation tools). I want to generate my superelevation based off of my stationed centerline, but my true pivot point is…
  • Superelevation Graphical editing of control lines

    When are we going to be able to graphically edit the superelevation control lines in Openroads? This needs to be resolved. Terry
  • Export superelevation data

    Hello, Is there a way to export the superelevation data in geopak? I have alignments & shapes created. Thank you
  • RE: Export Superelevation

    Hi Assaf It looks as if you are the OpenRoads tools in Geopak. The Superelevation Editor will allow the import of superelevation from an external CSV file that has been set up. In relation to export what foramt are you looking for, the superelevation…
  • [OpenRoads] Superelevation and Complex element by element method

    Hi, I have tested different SRL tables and I'm unable to calculate superelevation for my ramp alignment. My alignment was designed by element method (don't have such problem with complex elements created by PI method) and consist of: ARC from element…
  • Re: Template and superelevation

    When you have your "template1" open in the template editor, click the "Test" button down in the lower right. You will get a message that says "Warning: this template has end condition priority conflicts." You'll need to go through each…
  • Optimized Profile

    Hi guys, I have just come to do this process of Optimization which consists of setting my 2% by 2% template onto my OG. Then matching to either LEP, CL or REP depending which one it hits first, so we can PADD only. This used to be a long process of…
  • Re: Suggestions For Curb Template

    I gave this a shot using sequential shoulder rollover locks rather than template CDR's and it seemed to work well. I'm assuming the gutter is v-shaped and has a foreslope and a backslope. The bottom of the curb is then placed at the top of the gutter…
  • Import superelevation data ASCII format?

    Does anyone have an example format (example ascii file) of the ascii import feature for superelevation control lines? The help menu states there are three values from each line it pulls from the ascii import, 1.) Station, 2.) finished grade left…
  • [Inroads v8i] Superelevation sections problem

    It seems that either there is a bug or I miss something in superelevation tool in roadway designer. I use wizard (ig. table method), adding sections and solviing overlaps - the superelevation is defined. Then I want to revise my superelevation's section…
  • Re: Superelevation doesn't work with Display Rules

    Our superelevation control is applied to the EOPs of our top layer of pavement. The lower layers of pavement are constrained with a slope equation equating to the slope of the top layer. So, these slopes are constrained back to the point controlled point…
  • Superelevation Control

    I am using horizontal alignments to control the horizontal location of my median and edge of pavement curbs. Everything seems to work fine until I add superelevation control the the edge of pavement pivoting about the centerline. I used a single control…
  • Superelevation - point constraints between two sections, independent subgrade superelevation

    Hi all, I faced the following problem: There are two superelevation sections in my task - one for top layer and the second one for subgrade. These two layers are superelevated toogether (point constraints in template definition) till top layer reaches…
  • Problems with superelevation and shoulder rollover locks of my template

    Hello guys Am working on a design, a 4lane divided highway template with raised median barrier and kerbs together with cover drainage, in which the shoulder and the drainage are together, so i built the template and applied it to the corridor, but…
  • Inroads XM: Runoff lengths are wrong

    I'm using the AASHTO superelevation wizard, and after creating a superelelvation section, Inroads calculates the runoff length incorrectly. In this example, for a 6.4% superelevation, it thinks the runoff should be 34.56 m. I want it to be 79 m, which…
  • Superelevation on Ramp

    Running InRoads V8i - When running the PGL along either edge of a single lane ramp, what is the best method for creating superelevation? The wizard requires three points and to specify two or four lanes. If I simply create control lines for the left and…
  • Re: Error in superelevation

    Greetings- Which program are you using? That will help in obtaining a more specific solution. It sounds like you don't have enough tangent between two curves, or enough between the end of a curve and the end of the alignment. Since AASHTO…
  • Modeling Superelevation Transition - Reverse Curves

    Running InRoads V8i - This is the first superelevation I have tried to create in a model. Two curves close together with superelevation in opposite direction, designed with a continuously rotating plane between curves. I first ran the wizard to set up…
  • Re: inroads: superelevation (profile annotation)

    Piotr, Do you have Display Positive and Negative Superelevation toggled on the Superelevation leaf of the Annotate Profile command? Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • Re: Cant Alignment

    Jasmin, What you are seeing there is the “old” Superelevation name. In past versions of InRoads, the Superelevation was stored with the alignment and not with the corridor. Unless you are using Bentley Rail Track and assign point controls to that…
