I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user. I have my centerline horizontal and vertical created and both have been exported to the gpk. My geometry file is referenced into my model file. When in my model dwg, if I switch to 3D space, the centerline…

Hello, I am trying to annotate an element in my cross-sections so that it updates automatically when my corridor changes. Specifically, I am trying to annotate the bottom elevation of a swale so that when the elevation changes, the label moves with…

Hello, I have situation where I don't think I can accurately model the existing conditions with a DTM. DTM definition meaning 1 Z value for a pair of XY coordinates. Well, picture the face of a cliff, there may be several Z values for one XY coordinate…

Using the Create Cut Fill Volumes tool, I've successfully figured out how to incorporate not only cut and fill, but existing topsoil stripping, existing pavement removal, rock excavation, and proposed topsoil - all in one shot. It's quite convenient.…

Good Morning, Can someone explain to me what the difference is between a imodel file and a IFC file, please? I assume that the IFC file (when the details have been hammered out) will be a file format that can be exchanged between different CADD software…
