Hello everyone, Question: Is there an easy way to "explode" the terrain to be lines with elevations to be viewed in v8i SS2?? Doing this for multiple terrains at once is a plus!! Background: Our client is primarily PennDOT who still use V8i SS2…

I've got a complex terrain model I'm maintaining in PowerInRoads V8i SS10 on a Windows 10 machine. Upon opening the dgn, I get the following error: I've reinstalled the .Net Framework and scanned the registry for errors. Any ideas?

Hello All, I am using InRoads (SS2), MS V8i SS3 and Trimble Business Center v5.1. I use TBC for editing surfaces and use the export function for creating a LandXML file. I use the points and breaklines option, and import it into InRoads. The edits and…

I would like to use the InRoads Bridge Geometry tools to quickly layout girders on a tightly curved bridge. This would be a very useful tool if I could get it to work. Instead of manually drawing girder lines and checking max/min deck overhang, max/min…

Power InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09.04 In Geometry --> View Geometry --> Vertical Annotation I am trying to edit the cardinal point leader length, and it seems to be stuck at an arbitrary minimum of 300. Changing 'Segment 1' to a value of…

Hello every one, I’m new here, I need to use power inroad to calculate volumes for a drainage ditch for a project. i have a dem and a elevation in a asci file. Could you please send me the steps to do it ? Thank you

Hi all, this is the 1st superelevation I am doing and its a tricky one. The alignment is a diversion road between two points of an existing road and it starts with a +ve 3% super elevation and connects to the other end with same +ve 3% super and there…

I have a text/excel file that contains hundreds of station and offsets of specific locations (ie. new utility pole locations to be placed). I want to know how I can import this information into Inroads relative to a particular baseline and then generate…

My question is about the "Traverse" function (Geometry > Traverse). In the previous versions of InRoads, the default selection for the distance under the "Course" area was Horizontal Distance. In V8i, the tool is defaulted to Slope Distance. Can this…

Can InRoads XM be run using MicroStation V8i as the CADD platform? I'm asking because we are looking at a move to V8i as it seems to be a more developed & stable platform for CADD. But we want to stay with InRoads XM because that is what our client is…

Hello, I am having an issue calculating end area volumes from cross sections using InRoads V8i (V08.11.05.47). Specifically, I have broken up the granular sub-base into several components across the roadway in order to more easily deal with various…

Designing intersections in the roadway designer with the use of secondary alignments for the curb returns works WONDERFULLY... Until I have to run volumes. To mimic the secondary alignments in cross section, I currently use custom linestrings…

My company is trying to develop a way to utilize the intelligent Civil 3D Pipe Networks, but we are required by most of our clients to display all of our data in a 3D model in Microstation. I am trying to create a workflow to convert Civil 3D 2012 Pipe…
