RE: Importing A Vertical Design From Design Route Software Into BRT
The issue is that columns of source file (DesignRoute) are the curves. So to use the text import wizard you have to transform the data to have station, elevation, (slope), radius on a single line for each point.
RE: Importing A Vertical Design From Design Route Software Into BRT
Hi Stewart, I've never used Design Route but you can should be able to import the alignment using 'Text Import Wizard'.
Save the spreadsheet containing the vertical alignment details as a .txt file.
In BRT select File > Text Import Wizard .

RE: Order of References
You must go to the reference dialog>Settings>Update Sequence. it is the display order: last displayed on top. You must put the design file at the bottom of the list. It also applies for raster. It also true for 2D models where you can manage also the…
RE: What Does Length Refer To On A Vertical Profile?
Lengths are always measured as horizontal, when designing / annotating vertical geometry. This is the typical convention for road and rail projects.

Genio Import
Genio translator, to be checked in Application Add-ins, can import MX text files (Genio) to ALG and DTM.
You have to set a translation table (.ggr file) from MX strings to alignment or features.
MX has several string types that are related to dimensions…
Text Styles And Dimension Styles and How They Interact
Hi
I was wondering if someone could clarify some issues I am having with Text Styles and Dimension Styles - its largely to do with understanding how Text and Dimension styles work and how they interact with each other.
I have set up a Text Style…
RE: Text Styles And Dimension Styles and How They Interact
The way I have been using text and dim styles is not to set any text style in the dim style settings but set up the symbology there as I may want to use different text heights and fonts etc... because the place note tool is also a dimension it too is…
RE: Associating Title Block With A 2D Sheet Model
If you create a sheet model you can specify the paper size then ref attach your title block at the scale factor to make it work
a3 > A1 = 2:1
297x420 > x2 = 594x840= A1
a3 > A2 =Root2 x a3=1.141(297x420) =420x594=a2
scale x2 to get next size up…
RE: How Does BRT/Power Rail Calculate Existing Radius From Regression Points?
For every 3 points there is some radius... unless its a straight line.
If the points lay on straight line the radius is infinity.
RE: How Does BRT/Power Rail Calculate Existing Radius From Regression Points?
It uses the circle equation for three consecutive points.
The radius computed from this is presumed to be the one in the middle (second) point.
Similar results you should get for the existing alignment (the one that gives the regression points) if you…
RE: How To Add Main Tool toobar Command Under Drawing.
you can customise the interface and add tools to panels this is all done via creating a dgnlib file and using it to control the customisation
I'm not sure about the the keyboard mapping to the short cuts, as I've never been a big fan of that feature…
RE: Power Rail Regression Report Help.
Horizontal is the center line alignment.
Precision is controled by Project > Options > Precision (i.e. stationing and linear precision)
Size of the row is a function of the Title Text on the Symbology tab.
As far as reports, use the ones in Geometry…
RE: Power Rail Regression Report Help.
Hi Richard
For reasons I cannot explain the help button does not work on the Regression Report menu. Is there any chance you can email me a PDF copy of just that help section?
On a similar note is it possible to display the existing Gauge using…
