Drape 2d dgn elements onto GEOPAK TIN file - How to?
I need to drape 2d dgn lines and curves onto Geopak TIN file? I found the tool but sure about the settings and workflow. Did a search of the Geopak help files did not produce results.
The work is very distilled below:

Tin triangulating incorrectly - corridor modeler
I am working on our final model for the dtm, finished grade tin, and top of dirt tin in Geopak SS2 Roadway Designer. I recently had to create additional templates to aid in the top of dirt surface creation. In doing so, somehow now my top of surface tin…
DTM Tools not loading in microstation.
Hello,
We are using projectwise, Geopak ( Select Series 3). DTM tools are not loading properly. It opens sometimes but gives me error messages mos of the time.
DTMLOD unloaded. System fault: bad memory access. Unable to load/create dialog item of…
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…
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…
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…
Geopak Rounding Issues
Hi all, I created a surface model by Corridor and Modeler on a highway interchange project. Now I am facing a rounding issues during creating sheets (Pavement Elevation Detail Sheets and Cross Sections Sheets) from this model. Apparentely, all the numbers…
Terrain triangles vs. tin triangles do not match.
I created a corridor in SS3.
I created terrain model from the corridor then exported the terrain model to a geopak tin.
When I view the tin triangles (Using load dtm features) vs. the terrain model, the tin triangles are shifted.
Does anyone…
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.
Contours Smoothing Method
Hello there, I just have a simple question, is there any way that we can choose another method of smoothing of Contours in Inroads , for example in Geopak we have more than one one method of smoothing as shown below:
Thanks...
Corridor Modeler: DTM vs. TIN. Why are they different?
I am working with Corridor Modeler and I have imported a GEOPAK tin file. I had Corridor Modeler draw cross-sections showing existing ground both with the tin and with the dtm. They dont match. This is a problem. My proposed model has a template that…
Geopak CR - Minimum length Contour to Label
I am currently erasing a lot of of extra index contour labels (the labels are large since it is a large scale drawing) I have lots of small index contours that form small closed loops (The TIN is LiDAR generated, so I have lots of these). Each contour…
Re: Power Civil: Import HECRAS
Neil,
There is no tool to directly import that format. You could try exporting to a more generic format from the other product OR edit the file you have to remove all data except the XYZ data.
Then you can import that data using the DTM…
Geopak equivalent to InRoads DTM
I'm trying to determine what the equivalent GeoPak tool/file is to InRoads DTM. I know a DTM is a digital terrain model, however, it looks like in InRoads it is more than just an xzy file, or break line file? (I'm not familiar with InRoads) Is it equivalent…
SS2 and SS3 DTM Visibility Tools - Drape on TIN - Offset Height
I am using a tool called "Visibility Tools"
Found under DTM==>Analysis==>Visibility
I have found that the "Offset Height" under "Drape on TIN" does not work in SS2 or SS3.
The tool does work in V8

Re: Convert LIDAR data
Extract XYZ should work but does not provide the filtering and thinning that you desire. You would end up with all umpteen gajillion points, when what you really want to do is thin the number of points to a managable size.
My experience with the…
Re: Power Civil: Import HECRAS
Neil,
I'm sure there is another solution somewhere.
If not, following my solution and Loading the DTM Hull should give you the outline of the floodway.

Visualizing Components from a DTM (Geopak)
I'm using Geopak Corridor Modeler to create DTMs and corridors. I was wondering if there is a way to visualize the DTM components into a file outside of the "Create Surface" dialogue when creating a surface? Can this can be done from the DTM that Corridor…
