Hi again, I see that explanation in the Help and the only assumption I can make is that the tool has changed since that Help was written. It's certainly not valid now. If you'd like to send your data too me I'd happy to take a look at what…

The scenario of using different DGN Models for the graphical elements with different Modeler Objects is fine. When Modeler looks for Elements in a DGN it doesn't care what DGN Model the elements are in. It only looks for the element ID and every element…

Hello Laurent, In theory, nothing changed with the "Element>Edit Profile" between XM and V8i (assuming you are talking about theEdit Profile tool). What you did in XM should be the same in V8i. You will need to provide more detail…

Hi Matt, Reading your original post, it appeared as though getting the 3D faces was the desired result. LandXML export should provide the DTM breaks and spots etc. Assuming that the Topcon software supports LandXML import - that should…

Hi, The only way I know of is to import the SWS file into GEOPAK Drainage or PowerCivil Drainage and then draw the 3D elements into the DGN from the Drainage module. I don't know of any MicroStation tool that will do this... though there…

Derricke, It has been logged under Bentley Service Ticket number 8000486005 Thanks, Chris.

Hi Neil, it will depend what format that file is and what data it contains. If it is a XYZ ASCII file (or some arrangement of XYZ) then the DTM>Extract XYZ should allow you to import thet data. This tool provides for user definable XYZ values…

Does anyone have any idea when licensing for this product will be created for user's outside of the Americas? Does anyone have any idea when / if there will be a PowerCivil V8i released for use outside of the Americas? We need to start using…

Nathan, GEOPAK Draiange profiles can be drawn directly into a DWG of virtually any release. Create a DWG file, open it in MicroStation, open your drainage project and draw the profiles. If the profiles are already drawn into a MicroStation…

Hi Frosty, if you can graphically locate the new poition, then this may be the easiest way (that I can think of) if you want to keep the same point numbers. There are other ways if you don't have to keep the same numbers. Open COGO. …

Hi, did you try drawing the contours with B-Spline smoothing enabled? Its a smoothing option on the Load Features>Contours dialog. It may help...

No. I just tried a couple of scenarios and neither works. There is nothing theoretically stopping us allowing this - its simply a scenario that was never available prior to V8i nor contemplated in enough depth. Something to add to…

Thanks Robert.

Neil, as you have found, there is a limitation on the number of characters thatcan be used as a feature inside COGO. Copy the "Default_Parcel" SMD feature to a new (shorter) name and use that name as your COGO feature. The "Default_Parcel…

Not really.. but there certainly is something different. Send me the DGN files.

I am still awaiting license files and have not had any response from Bentley Support on this issue yet.

Hi again, the first time you use the Edit Profile tool on a series of Site Elements there is a toggle on the Profile Cell dialog to store the elements to COGO. Enable that and the plan elements will be stroed as a Chain when you select them. The…

Neil, I find the best way to label the contours is to use the settings is the "Load DTM features" dialog box. Here you can specify the text font, size, colour, level, decimal places and most importantly, the distance between labels. …

Hi Chris, Short answer is that there are a few possible reasons for the message. 1) The data within the project (maybe some element within one of the objects), is causing problems for the triangulation engine. This is unusual, but possible…

Dan, I'm unfamiliar with this file type... I dont know what format it is. If it is ASCII column based data, then we should be able to import it with GEOPAK. There does not appear to be an import option for this file type in MicroStation…

Hi Dusty, The Modeler component of GEOPAK is specifically designed to deal with "non-linear" design situations that you would encounter doing stream/river/ditch/channel redesign and restoration. We have a number of custromers using Modeler…

Hi Chris, the answer to this question is similar to the response from Derricke on your previous question. The MS config variables for Cells need to be set to include the path of and cell library name of the CEL file you are setting up. …

Hi Neil, if, after trying Dan's suggestions, you still have problems, please contact Support and have them assist. I haven't seen this issue before and the Labeler tools have been available for a long time, but there could be something…
