I've been working on the layout of a subdivision and can't get the InRoads Locate tools out of my skull. Those things were a beautiful set of tools for laying out COGO Points. So, does anyone know how I can do a very simple Direction - Alignment intersection…

I would like to use the InRoads Bridge Geometry tools to quickly layout girders on a tightly curved bridge. This would be a very useful tool if I could get it to work. Instead of manually drawing girder lines and checking max/min deck overhang, max/min…

Power InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09.04 In Geometry --> View Geometry --> Vertical Annotation I am trying to edit the cardinal point leader length, and it seems to be stuck at an arbitrary minimum of 300. Changing 'Segment 1' to a value of…

I currently have an alignment that goes from south to north 0+00 to 10+00 but when I display the stationing it reads from north to south.. how do u get to the style reverse the stationing to read right side up so its plan readable?

I have 2 proposed alignments and one existing alignment along a 66 mile corridor. The existing alignment varies from left to right in its location from the proposed alignments. I have stored a VA from the existing DTM along the existing alignment and…

Just started using InRoad XM. I was required to come up with vertical elevation of a portion of train track. I have graphically imported the horizontal alignment (2D) and I've imported the survey text data of the verticall alignment. No available surface…

(Posted on behalf of Bentley User) I am trying to view my cogo points table from View Geometry->Horizontal Annotation. For some reason, I can only see coordinates, not elevation. all the elevations are zero "0". Can you help me turn these point…

My question is about the "Traverse" function (Geometry > Traverse). In the previous versions of InRoads, the default selection for the distance under the "Course" area was Horizontal Distance. In V8i, the tool is defaulted to Slope Distance. Can this…

Is there any way to adjust the traverse values (northing, easting, elev) in InRoads itself and it dynamically change all the other points that were shot from the reassigned traverse values? I've tried numerous ways and it still keeps the original values…

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 all, I have been searching for a way to join vertical alignments using geometry commands, and am struggling. I have seen some legacy posts talking of 'copying' the vertical elements from one alignment to the destination, but this doesn't seem…

In IR v8i, why was the Define Transitions By (Constant/Length) toggle removed from the Horizontal Curve Set tools and left solely in the Options? I used this toggle often since I have some alignments set by even length and some by even constant…

Sometimes in Inroads XM we have noticed an error that occurs with tracking horizontal alignments. After a horizontal alignment has been established and has been used for months, there have been times when you open a drawing in Microstation V8 (a drawing…

Running InRoads V8i - if I "check in" a horizontal alignment after making changes to it, must I save the geometry project in order to preserve my changes?

I need to provide a client with the formula used to apply levels using cubic reverse crossfall. (Design minor option 132). I remember that the formula was in the early versions of the MOSS manual but cannot find any reference to it in any MX help files…
