  • Editing Profile After "Profile Complex by Elements" has been used

    Is it possible to edit a profile after the "profile complex by elements" has been used? I have a proposed bike path profile that needs more PIs added to it. I want two line segments to replace 6 different lines. Is this possible without having to redo…

  • 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…

    Good day everyone, I'm trying to model a roadway that has a parabolic crown cross section. I do not see in the standard templates a parabolic template other than the regular simple constructs. If anyone has an idea of how to go about creating one…
  • Newer Civil Data Found Error, File opens with older geopak

    Hello, I am currently running Geopak Version 08.11.09.904 and my coworker is running 08.11.09.845. I was working on a corridor model and switched projects for a week or so then when I came back to open my model I get the Newer Civil Data Found error…
  • Element template point not always or consistently displaying in cross sections

    This is happening on the latest 2 versions of SS4. In our cross sections, we are having the point ('X') disappear which compromises our ability to annotate. It is not all points in the cross section and often a cross section will display one point but…

  • How do I "drop" Civil Cells to "dumb" elements?

    I created a roundabout using Civil Cells but need to "drop" it to "dumb" elements to create an exhibit. What is the best way to do this? Also, how do I understand and troubleshoot the errors I am seeing? See linked .dgn here: https://www.dropbox.com…
  • Import Template from Graphics in GeoPAK SS4

    Hi All, There are a couple of older threads (2-3years ago) that noted the removal of the import template from graphics functionality after SS2. CR's were opened to add it back. Is there an update on this? Is this functionality available in GeoPAK SS4…

    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…
  • Profile from referenced Corridor - Why is this such a battle!

    Running the latest Geopak/ Inroads 08.11.09.845 and even though this version maintains a triangulated top surface in the background the profile from surface tool STILL creates a broken profile that will jump randomly from the top of the component to the…

    Trying to Civilize some Microstation elements and some work and some fail to civilize and I am having to redraw. It would be very handy if civil Geometry was a View Attribute that I could toggle on/off. Terry
  • Move Parallel in Civil Geometry

    I want to simply move a line (Civil Geometry) parallel to itself for a distance defined by snapping to some other element. I don't see that there is a simply way to do this very basic thing. Move parallel... I don't want a copy, I want to move the existing…

  • Profiles in SS4 and Snapping

    AccuSnap needs to work inside the profile view. If Accusnap is on then the profile tools should properly lock in on elements, not lock the float around and require the user to lock inthe pop up window. If you need to add a lock somewhere to make the inputs…

    Not being able to see/display the profile of civil geometry from another file or model needs to be resolved. It is hard to make the case that this is better than the legacy products when something so simple is precluded. Also, we need the ability to…
  • Civil Geometry - Design Intent

    When creating horizontal or vertical civil geometry we should have a toggle that will retain or not retain the "design intent". Having to go back and remove constraints and "re-civilize" elements is just a lot of extra clicks. Further design intent, and…
