How To Model Multiple Excavations On A Single Jobsite
Hello,
Been experiencing some learning difficulties trying to figure out the best way to model multiple excavations for structures on the same jobsite. The excavations would be within and around existing buildings of a wastewater treatment plant. I…
Geopak - creating a TIN with csv file
For some reason I'm having trouble getting my csv file to translate into a DTM model/TIN file. Yesterday it seemed to be working just fine, but no matter which avenue I'm taking it never seems to load correctly and I'm stuck without a TIN. What steps…
Discrepancies converting existing ground TIN to DTM for use in Roadway Designer
I noticed an issue with end conditions not tying into the existing ground line drawn in cross section cells. The problem occurred at several cross section and the error varied between 0.01' to upwards of 2'. After troubleshooting, it was noticed that…
Problem creating a tin file – Different results using Select Series 2 vs Select Series 3
Geopak_Support_2015_01_19.zip I have a dgn containing graphic triangles.
When I create a new tin file using “Extract Graphic Triangles” I get different results when using Select Series 2 vs Select Series 3 Geopak.
SS2 produces the correct resulting…
InRoads 3D Modelling Practice
When doing terrain modelling of a proposed design in inroads, is it common practice to model all material layers below the final grade? Or you just model the final grade? What I am actually doing depends on the complexity of the model.
For example,…
V8i Series 3 v08.11.09.578 How to create a tin on a wall that is leaning using DTM Tools?
I am creating a TIN from survey info but I have several walls that are leaning, so when it builds the triangles it builds from the closest points so instead of goining from the ground points to the toe of the wall it goes to the top of the wall and visa…
RE: TIN Shift when Converting DTM
If it is an issue with the units, I'm not sure why it will display correctly when I am using the original DTM file. Just in case, I created a DGN file with SF units (the original had plain Feet) and then tried to convert the DTM to a TIN file again, but…

LiDAR Data & GEOPAK
Background I am using MicroStation V8i w/ GEOPAK SS2. I obtained a ton of LiDAR data that covers about a 12-mile-by-2-mile area. The LiDAR data exclude all the surface waters (such as ponds, wetlands, rivers, and creeks) that are wider than 50 feet. The…
Creating Terrain Model from Corridor Element and Complex Terrains
All,
I followed the steps in this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UON7jngtRU ) to create a terrain model from a corridor. However, the terrain model that was generated does not follow the surface of the corridor (see screenshot below - the…
GEOPAK DTM Drape Elements tool not working in SS3
An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution.
Geopak ss3 no longer will no longer drape elements, using a 2d file and tin, to a 3d file. it does work in ss2.
Re: Corridor Modeling Cross-Section Missing Elements
If you are not seeing components in some areas in particular areas where the components are somewhat irregular or non perpendicular to the geometry there is variable to "Use Mesh Algorithm for Cross Section Components" when this is toggled on the components…

Fill Slope Transitions / Parametric Constraints in the Roadway Designer
Has anyone talked about the difference of modeling fills using a ration (e.g. 4:1) versus slope percentage (25%) particaularly regarding transitions?
Example: A 2:1 slope transitioning to 4:1. One could expect the midpoint of this transition to be…
VBA Help with Creation of Input files
Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Microstation and Geopak so please bear with me. I have a requirement where I have to create the input files as a 2 step process. Once for spots at certain levels and then for break lines at the remaining levels. These inputs…
Out of memory error
Hi,
I am having a problem with a large dtm derived from LiDAR data. It is about 350MB in size, and when I try to generate contours in either InRoads XM or v8i, I get an out of memory (swap device may be full) error. I was actually able…
Re: Component Filter
I see no InRoads method for filtering Components. Typically good component Naming conventions can group the components well in the list and can be sorted by Name or Style or Description. In order to make sorting work to its full benefit you should take…
Inroads V8i/V8i Select Series compatibility issue
I have a student using a 64-bit win7 version of inroads V8i Select Series at his home and coming in to our lab (32-bit winXP with V8i) his dtm files are not recognized.
The default save format for V8i Select series is an 8.11.7- is there a way…

TIN from Shape File
Is there a way to create a TIN file from a GIS Shape file? I've heard that Data Acquisition might be able to do it, but it's not very apparent when I poked around in the module. Thanks.
