&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;InRoads, GEOPAK&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Version(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;08.11.09.845+&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Area:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Subsurface Utilities&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have defined storms, grates, inlets and conduits which I use with GEOPAK Drainage or InRoads Storm and Sanitary. &amp;nbsp;Can I import these to StromCAD for OpenRoads to help build my hydraulic seed file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes. &amp;nbsp;Although there is no direct import into StormCAD OpenRoads, you can import these files using the traditional StormCAD for Microstation. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For GEOPAK:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start StormCAD (traditional) running in your GEOPAK environment. &amp;nbsp;In order to do this you will need to:&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install StormCAD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily remove the subsurface.cfg file from your /Config/Appl directory&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily add the following to geopak.cfg,&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR = C:/Program Files (x86)/Bentley/StormCAD8/&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;%include $(MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR)config/appl/stormcad.cfg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then using a scrap DGN file go to menu item StormCAD &amp;gt; Project &amp;gt; Import &amp;gt; Geopak Drainage Library&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the drainage library which you normally use with GEOPAK Drainage&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This imports storms, inlets and conduits in the GEOPAK library to StormCAD catalogs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So, that we can use the storms in StormCAD OpenRoads&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;go to StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;select each storm in turn, right click and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Likewise for inlets go to&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and export the inlets to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And do the same for conduits&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Conduit Library&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For InRoads:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For InRoads:&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install StormCAD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start StormCAD standalone or StormCAD for Microstation from the installed icons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style="padding:0;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then using a scrap DGN file go to menu item StormCAD &amp;gt; Project &amp;gt; Import &amp;gt; InRoads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the dialog that opens&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;select any InRoads S&amp;amp;S project file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the structures.dat file which has all your inlets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select an IDF file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The inlet definitions are imported as well as the IDF file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and select each of the inlets in turn and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The IDF was imported to a storm definition named InRoads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rename it by right click as appropriate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Right click and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you have multiple IDF files then repeat steps 2 and 3 and 6 for for each IDF file&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then for either GEOPAK or InRoads&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reverse the temporary CFG changes above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start GEOPAK / InRoads normally&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data and import the storms from the XML created above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then&amp;nbsp;Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and import from XML above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then&amp;nbsp;Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Conduit Library and import from XML above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now these library items are available for use in feature definitions, scenarios or prototypes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="content-scrollable-wrapper"&gt;
&lt;table border="0"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;InRoads, GEOPAK&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Version(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;08.11.09.845+&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Area:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Subsurface Utilities&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have defined storms, grates, inlets and conduits which I use with GEOPAK Drainage or InRoads Storm and Sanitary. &amp;nbsp;Can I import these to StromCAD for OpenRoads to help build my hydraulic seed file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes. &amp;nbsp;Although there is no direct import into StormCAD OpenRoads, you can import these files using the traditional StormCAD for Microstation. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For GEOPAK:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start StormCAD (traditional) running in your GEOPAK environment. &amp;nbsp;In order to do this you will need to:&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install StormCAD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily remove the subsurface.cfg file from your /Config/Appl directory&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily add the following to geopak.cfg,&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR = C:/Program Files (x86)/Bentley/StormCAD8/&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;%include $(MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR)config/appl/stormcad.cfg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then using a scrap DGN file go to menu item StormCAD &amp;gt; Project &amp;gt; Import &amp;gt; Geopak Drainage Library&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the drainage library which you normally use with GEOPAK Drainage&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This imports storms, inlets and conduits in the GEOPAK library to StormCAD catalogs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So, that we can use the storms in StormCAD OpenRoads&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;go to StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;select each storm in turn, right click and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Likewise for inlets go to&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and export the inlets to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And do the same for conduits&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Conduit Library&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For InRoads:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For InRoads it is probably easier to use the StormCAD (traditional) running in standalone because it does not require changing any CFG files. &amp;nbsp;If you use the InRoads environment:&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install StormCAD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily remove the subsurface.cfg file from your /Config/Appl directory&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Temporarily add the following to inroads.cfg,&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR = C:/Program Files (x86)/Bentley/StormCAD8/&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;%include $(MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR)config/appl/stormcad.cfg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style="padding:0;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then using a scrap DGN file go to menu item StormCAD &amp;gt; Project &amp;gt; Import &amp;gt; InRoads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the dialog that opens&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;select any InRoads S&amp;amp;S project file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the structures.dat file which has all your inlets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select an IDF file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The inlet definitions are imported as well as the IDF file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to&amp;nbsp;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and select each of the inlets in turn and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;StormCAD &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The IDF was imported to a storm definition named InRoads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rename it by right click as appropriate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Right click and export to an XML library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you have multiple IDF files then repeat steps 2 and 3 and 6 for for each IDF file&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then for either GEOPAK or InRoads&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reverse the temporary CFG changes above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start GEOPAK / InRoads normally&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Storm Data and import the storms from the XML created above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then&amp;nbsp;Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Inlet Catalog and import from XML above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then&amp;nbsp;Subsurface Utility &amp;gt; Components &amp;gt; Conduit Library and import from XML above&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now these library items are available for use in feature definitions, scenarios or prototypes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/TSG-Logo.png" height="60" width="189" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
