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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Hi everyone, I created a diamond crossing and 4 simple turnouts. For track-2, it show both of turnuots in profile. But for track-1 it just shows 1 turnout. I couldn't understand why. Can you help me? Thanks.

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…

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?

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!

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…

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…

I have the following data in ESRI shap file (.shp, .dbf) pipe data with up node, down node, up invert, down invert, diameter, shape man hole data with lid elevation, bottom invert and shaft diameter Can anyone help me with the steps to…

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…
