• Displaying and Labeling Additional Alignments in Cross Section Drawings

    I have generated cross sections for a railyard using one alignment. Running alongside this one “main” alignment are several other alignments comprising the tracks of the railyard. These alignments all contain 3D profile information. Ideally, I would…
  • ORD How to Show Culvert, Utilities, Etc. Crossing Beneath an Alignment?

    Hello all. I was recently given a new assignment that no one at my company has had to do before, and I am having trouble figuring out if ORD has an automated way of doing this, or if it has to be done manually. For this current project, I have an alignment…
  • maximum number of vertices in profile in ORD?

    Hello- I am experiencing weirdness with my alignment/profile in OpenRoads Designer 2021 R1. I have a 3 mile trail with many horizontal and vertical curves. I know there may have been limitations with Geopak/V8i with the number of vertices in a profile…
  • Vertical Geometry: Replace Reference Functionality

    I may be missing something, but it doesn't appear there's a Replace Reference rule for vertical geometry like there is for horizontal geometry. I frequently use the Tangent Profile Line From Element tool and am unable to replace the parent/reference element…
  • ORD - Generating Plan & Profile Sheet

    Hello, I am trying to generate Plan & profile sheets following ODOT's example videos. I have generated the proposed alignments in the BK file and generated the GP drawings using the design2d file from the create design files application. I referenced…
  • Profile geometry not present in COGO SS10

    I created and chained my horizontal alignment using horizontal geometry tools, created and chained a profile for that alignment using vertical geometry tools. I then change the name of my horizontal geometry and my profile no longer appears in COGO. I…
  • Viewing Profile Creates Additional Alignment Line

    I created an alignment from lines created in SS3 or SS2 - I copied in the lines, created a civil rule feature for those lines, and then created an alignment using Complex by Elements. Everything seems like it works great. I have my alignment, it's editable…
  • Alignment profile does not stay active

    The attached file used to work correctly. A couple of days ago, I edited (replaced) the first two elements of the profile (drop elements, replace first two elements, make complex, make profile active). Today, I needed the file again as a reference to…
  • Combining dgn's? or importing dgn into a dgn?

    I have processed an existing survey with dtm of an intersection of two roads. Another party has designed the alignment and profile and is currently referenced into my dgn. How do I import the alignment and profile into by dgn where I can utilize the Active…
  • I need help with adding pipes to a profile.

    Heya, I'm trying to create a profile showing a pipeline versus terrain. Both of them are lines. I also have a fake surface at elevation '0', just to get things started. I've managed to create a profile over my surface, and I've added the terrain-line…
  • Create profile in PowerCivil with alignment.

    I know how to create cross sections from a terrain model with an alignment. Is there a similar way to create a profile along the alignment?
  • Changing / Updating alignment used to make a profile

    In Inroads or Rail Track, is there a way to update alignment of a profile? There are a lot of details already on the profile set that won't change. I don't want to redo them by creating a new profile with the updated alignment. Thanks!
  • Inroads/Microstation, Rail Vertical Alignment coordination with Road Grade Crossing Vertical Alignment

    Hello All, Let me start with a description of the work.. Approx. 130 Miles of Proposed Track to run along existing Track. Approx. 260 Grade Crossings. Is there anyway to automatically import Track Vertical Elevation for each Cut of Roadway Grade…

  • Geopak Road COGO - How to add Station Equation/Region where Back Sta = Ahead Sta

    Anonymous
    Anonymous
    Hello, Ok, I know my subject sounds like a stupid question--why would one add a station equation if the ahead station is equal to the back station? The short answer: to (possibly) cut down on work later. Can one add a station equation to an alignment…
  • Dynamic display of vertical alignments

    I'm running MS 08.11.07.443 and IR 08.11.07.536 on a number of Windows 7 machines. When developing or editing vertical alignmens in a profile set I've seen mixed results. Sometimes the dynamic graphics update as expected, sometimes they do not refresh…
