• Importing Geometry from GPK isn't Working Correctly

    I have a model in openroads that was created off of imported geopak profiles. This model has been updated many times with this same gpk and it correctly replaced the previous profile. However, for some reason in the last two weeks when I import the new…
  • Corridor with different sized shape for template drops

    This seemed like a simple question that someone has definitely asked before but I can't seem to find the answer to - I apologize if this is a common question. When creating the corridor model - as I drop template through different interval of station…
  • Display only one corridor in GEOPAK SS4 with multiple corridors

    Hi, I am running GEOPAK SS4 and have multiple corridors in one file and when I run the cross section view modeler, all of the corridors are ran and show up in the cross sections. I am wondering if it is possible to turn off individual corridors without…
  • 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…
  • can the roadway "MODELER" be put back in the InRoads Explorer Menu

    I just started using Power InRoads and I notice the InRoads Menu doesn't have "Modeler" in the menu bar anymore, but is now in the Civil Tool Task bar. Is there a way to get it back into the menu bar?? -geewizz
  • Cross Section: proposed surface/end condition doesn't intercept existing ground

    I am using Inroads Suite XM Edition. When I create my cross sections I notice that my proposed surface, in many cases, does not actually meet the existing ground surface like it should. In roadway modeler, the section views all look correct, but in the…
  • Re: Site Modeler: Breaklines vs. contours

    Hi Neil, The contour feature is to allow a better modeling on ridges, avoiding steps. When choosing contour feature, the modeler does not allow triangles to have all there vertices on the same contour (same elevation). So it forces triangle to…
  • Re: Power Civil: Import HECRAS

    Hi Neil, it will depend what format that file is and what data it contains. If it is a XYZ ASCII file (or some arrangement of XYZ) then the DTM>Extract XYZ should allow you to import thet data. This tool provides for user definable XYZ values…
  • InRoads Template Transitions

    Hi all, Just a quick question because I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I am currently running the roadway designer on a section of roadway. For the first 100 ft I have a roadway typical section with a detached sidewalk. For the last 400…
  • Re: v8i GSF vs. XM GSF

    Hi Neil, the V8i GSF's have had their format expanded for allow for future enhancements. We typically do this at a major release so that we are not making modifications at service updates. There isn't any advantage (or disadvantage) in…
  • Roadway Designer Target Aliasing

    Perhaps I am trying to use the wrong tool to do this, but I am having an issue trying to get my side slopes to draw correctly. I have a diamond interchange and I am currently modeling the ramps. I have a corridor "complete" for the mailine and the existing…
  • Alternate Surface Triangulation

    I am using Microstation Select Series 2 and Geopak Corridor Modeler. My template is set up to have alternate surfaces for base course and subgrade. I know that Corridor Modeler cannot triangulate vertical surfaces, so I set the alternate surfaces to be…

    Michael, Please contact our technical support group through the following mechanism and provide them with a copy of your dataset. http://appsnet.bentley.com/srmanager/addcall.aspx Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • No "Modeler" menu in the InRoads / Power InRoads explorer

    (Posted on behalf of Be Communities user) InRoads / Power InRoads V08.11.09.493 Just opened the product and didn't see the Modeler menu pulldown nor did the Cross Section commands appear under Evaluation.
  • 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…
  • Target Aliases: InRoads V08.09.03.06

    When I am using the Inroads Modeler and use two or more target aliases, then InRoads always targets the closest surface or corridor, even when "use closest" isn't checked. I was wondering if this is a settings issue or a version issue. Also if you know…
  • 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…
  • Target Aliases, Clipping, etc. Need Guidance

    I've played with the subject items, using demo files, created by others. And I've watched more than one intersection video. Now, I have a real project with multiple intersections and I am at a loss as to what to put where. I have a main road with curbs…
  • Create Templates from DTM in InRoads

    I apologize ahead of time for my poor description of what I am about to ask... Is there a way in InRoads to take an exsisting DTM surface and create a template from it? We have a ditch running paralell to our road and are needing survey layout at 50…
  • IR - Transverse Features in Alternate Surfaces

    InRoads XM 08.09.03.06 I often need to toggle on the add transverse features in the models so that the slope components match the surface triangulation. But, no transverse features are added to alternate surfaces, so I end up with different triangulation…
  • Re: Geopak Site - Crashes when Trying to Edit Model

    Hi All, this is a known issue in the currently released XM version of GEOPAK and PowerCivil. The problem has been resolved in V8i. For XM - leave the icon size as "medium" and all will be fine. Future XM service updates…
  • Re: Component Display in Profile

    Marc, Components are more of a Transverse entity in profile they would look very odd. The best approach here is to define alternate surfaces in tempate points, then use the modeler to generate the surfaces along with the alternate surfaces. In…
  • Break Point in Shoulder Appearing at Random

    I am working on an freeway project in which we are putting a breakpoint in the shoulder. It only should appear on the high side of the super elevation where the first 8 feet will follow the super and the remaining 4' of the shoulder will be 4% down. The…
