Hello, I am a surveyor working in both grid and surface ORD Files. I love the background bing map, and it is coming up perfectly in a grid drawing. When I adjust the coordinate system applying a Helmert Transformation and add a scale factor like 1.00013…

When I add a breakline in one part of my surface, all the triangles get back to the original position and I've spend hours switching. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Hi all, For my current projects (last 2 and since the renewal of our Synchro 4D pro license) I'm experiencing that certain surfaces are invisible from above but not from below. Also certain faces of random objects (mostly masses from Revit) For each project…

I have a large point cloud attached to my file that has point shots for everything on the same classification. Therefore, I cannot turn off everything besides the ground shots to create a terrain surface for the existing ground of my project area. When…

In multiple models, I am modeling concrete walls as surfaces in the physical model. Then at some point - I think when converting it to the analytical model - some of the surfaces changes to regions. The regions appear to have reduced input capabilities…

Hello , Im trying to create a barge in Maxsurf and have managed to modify one of the existing models to have the correct particulars and frame spacing. I have created the individual ballast water tanks in maxsuf modeler but I am unable to trim them…

I am aware that I can add a border to stop the edge tringles from getting rebuilt, but after adding any feature, the whole terrain model rebuilds and drops all interior edits that have been made (eg, flipping triangles). This makes it difficult when receiving…

Hello Is it possible to retrieve the difference between the active profile and active surface? I couldn't find a text favorite that can do this. Or is it possible to calculate it? Our client likes to see it along the alignment and profile view.…

Dear Sir, I would like to know how we can flush the surface top with beam top in Physical modeller. Do I need to offset the mesh created in analytical model? Can we go back to physical modeller after providing offers in analytical model? I believe…

Not having a large background in creating corridor templates, we are trying to build a template, which has a "sound wall" in it, as a component. However, we do not want the sound wall to influence the proposed terrain model, coming out of the proposed…

Is there a way to get the surfaces to plot on top (in front) of the fences? Thanks

Let's say I have a cantilevered plate (or suface) that is continuously clamped along one edge. How can I assign these boundary conditions so they are continuous along the entire edge rather than only at the corner nodes? Thanks!

Hi, I am using Power inroads SS10. I have attached a dgn with smart elements and corridor. I created surface in the active file from the referenced file. When i delete few features in the referenced file, the deleted features does not go away from…

Hello, Does Open Roads have the thin surface command to reduce excessive number of points just like we used to have in Inroads ? How do I access the thin surface command in open roads ?

Hello, How can one from a 2d contour dgn file import contours and their elevation labels into a 3d dgn file as 3d contours using open roads/rail designer ?

Hi! The Place Cell/Block tool in Power Rail Track does not drop the cells we currently have on skewed cross sections (since the cuts along the tracks do not match the existing bridge skews). Like the text for the name of the alignments, cants, elevations…

I had this happen before and didn't think too much about it maybe just a one-time thing, but now is happening again and again. My data disappears after I save the files on ProjectWise I have noticed it on Extopo files only so maybe there is something…

Hi PLAXIS Support Team, I am trying to convert a triangulated surface in dfx format into a NURBS surface, as explained here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45906/converting-triangulated-surfaces-in…

I have an issue where my files stop recognizing the new survey point that I import. The issue is some times will bring in the points but I will not create the linework, I can't create the linework since changing the link code does nothing. Also, I have…

Hi, I have a Terrain Surface which has a boundary. I'd like to Extract the Boundary to a Linestring then edit the Linestring into 3 boundaries to reduce the size of the DTM. I have seen cryptic descriptions of using a Mesh and the extract Boundary…

Hello, I have situation where I don't think I can accurately model the existing conditions with a DTM. DTM definition meaning 1 Z value for a pair of XY coordinates. Well, picture the face of a cliff, there may be several Z values for one XY coordinate…

I am trying do a parking lot surface. As a preliminary am putting Islands into void. There are Two Islands in the surface. When i add them tosurface as Void drape features, they take off the entire surface. I am using Inroads SS10. I am creating surface…
