i have an existing surface (dtm) and i am putting in a proposed concrete pad at a certain elevation. i want the pad to tie into the existing ground at 2 to 1 how do i generate a new proposed surface showing the 2 to 1 slope .

Hi all, I'm a newbie to Microstation and Geopak so please bear with me. I have a requirement where I have to create the input files as a 2 step process. Once for spots at certain levels and then for break lines at the remaining levels. These inputs…

Hi, I am having a problem with a large dtm derived from LiDAR data. It is about 350MB in size, and when I try to generate contours in either InRoads XM or v8i, I get an out of memory (swap device may be full) error. I was actually able…

I have loaded and set the appropriate plugins but cannot get the contours to dynamically update after flipping triangles. Any help is much appreciated, Dale

Hi volks, What if you have huge projects from a building site with lots of stages for earthworks and your client, a building company needs reports of lots of volume calculation for billing purposes. Lets say we have several surveys from the stages…

Good morning Community, sometimes we've got problems with triangulation in InRoads in our company, it throws the message "Triangulation halted. ..." and I know that it's a known issue descriped in http://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design…

I created a corridor in SS3. I created terrain model from the corridor then exported the terrain model to a geopak tin. When I view the tin triangles (Using load dtm features) vs. the terrain model, the tin triangles are shifted. Does anyone…

I have a project that requires a curb along most of the alignment and sidewalk replacement behind said curb in certain areas. Right now I have the sidewalk targeting a feature and I have display rules set up so that it only displays when SW feature is…

Hi peeps, This is my first thred and im in need of some help. Im doing my dissertation at university around DTM and have now got my self involved in Bentley microsation software. Ive installed GEOPAK so i have acess to DTM tool section. …

IR V8i SS2 Refresh It appears that InRoads still has a problem displaying points that came from dual coded features in InRoads Survey. For example, I have a 3D triangulated random point tree code that was part of a breakline and it doesn’t show up…

We are new to Corridor Modeler/Roadway Designer in Geopak and have a few questions how to get things set up correctly. Our first issue is trying to use "if/then" statements on end conditions. Specifically, we want to test the slope between two points…

I am trying to open two fairly large (123MB and 143MB) dtms. Originally there was supposed to be one huge dtm but because of the file size it was split into two. I can open one but when I go to open the other I get the screen saying "Duplicate surface…

Wondering if anybody can help me out. I have two triangulated dtm surfaces for the exact same corridor and I want to identify which is the higher (in elevation) and automatically create shapes/polygons around the areas that area higher in one than the…

Inroads Suite V8i "No triangle side found" encountered during the triangulation process and halts. What type of error is this or common causes in the breaklines that would result in this problem? I have a 3D breakline file that I load into an empty surface…

Hi, I don't fully understand the option 'Draw Depressions Couterclockwise' under the Advanced tab in the View Contours box. Why and when should this be used? Jean Castro

Our second question on templates is in regards to end condition exceptions. In our backbone template, we have the edge of our pavement structure extending to the front slope of the ditch using the constraint "Vector-Offset" on two points (the edge…

Hi all, I created a surface model by Corridor and Modeler on a highway interchange project. Now I am facing a rounding issues during creating sheets (Pavement Elevation Detail Sheets and Cross Sections Sheets) from this model. Apparentely, all the numbers…
