  • Place Cell/Block Tool on Skewed Cross Sections in Power Rail Track

    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…
  • Top Surface/TIN issue

    Has anyone else had this issue before? My corridor behaves like it is supposed to in this super elevated transition area but the yellow line on the right side is the top surface that Openroads generates. Also when I export to a TIN file it is doing the…
  • Cross Section - Proposed Surface Wider than Cross Section

    I am working on cutting cross sections for a new 4 lane roadway. The standard cross section borders go from 150' left of baseline to 150' right. Being that this is a new roadway, the proposed surface sometimes goes beyond these limits, so we'll need a…
  • Inserting name of surface in plan, profile and cross-section

    I have been looking for this for a long time, and now it's time to ask the question to the people who might know the answer. I work with several seabed DTMs and often create profiles to view vertical shifts. Mostly I have one design survey with lots…
  • X-Ground lines above elevation limits

    InRoadsXM V08.09.02.16 When Generating cross sections, the existing ground line always displays to the limits of the left and right axis . When this includes datum above the top elevation limit the line continues to display above the grid, over to…
  • existing surface grade filtering slopes? Any ideas?

    I am trying to find existing slope conditions along a 280 mile corridor. I need locations where a 5% and 3% slope exist within 100ft of the track CL (rail). Is there anyway that I can set up some type of filter that will highlight the area where these…
  • Re: Inroads XM: Cross section surface extends off the top of window

    Tim, Do you have 'Show Data Outside Elevation Range' toggled on the General leaf of the Create Cross Section dialog? If so, toggle that off. Thanks, Jason Smithey
  • Cross Sections ignoring intersecting point with existing surface

    We have a designed jug handle along with working component templates; however, Our Cut/Fill lines are ignoring the existing surface on a few of the stations when we create our cross sections. I've followed the VAOT InRoads manual closely but I can't seem…
  • Cross Section: proposed surface/end condition doesn't intercept existing ground

    I am using Inroads Suite XM Edition. When I create my cross sections I notice that my proposed surface, in many cases, does not actually meet the existing ground surface like it should. In roadway modeler, the section views all look correct, but in the…
