How a 3d parametric cell (traffic signage/ road furniture) should be configurated to have a 2d symbology representation? (ArcGIS, Naviswork, IFC missing items)
Dear OpenRoads community,
We are developing some 3D cells to have some road furniture in our model. They are placed in the model as parametric cells.
We have two issues:
1) If we place the cell in a 2D view is not represented in 3D.
2) If we place…
Did the Site modeler module get removed from PowerGeoPak??
What happened to the site modeler module in PowerGeopak? I used to use this for site modeling and design, however with PowerGeoPak I cannot locate this option. What is the new method of doing this type of design work? Surely this is still an option?
Problem Saving .GSF to ProjectWise
Since recently upgrading to ProjectWise CONNECT I have now been unable to save my Site Modeler .gsf file back into Projectwise OR my local C: drive. I am using the Inroads Site Modeler Add-in. All other Inroads functionality seems to be there. I just…
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…
RE: Earthwork only below an Elevation
Hi,
As far as I remember, Site Modeler gives a possibility to carry out such calculations - just import your dtms into site modeler project.
Hope this helps.

RE: Using GEOPAK SS2 equivalent tools in GEOPAK SS3?
Josh,
I am very interested in see a response from Bentley reps or experience users on this. I'd also like to request, as Michael Gilham alluded to in another thread, a tutorial that explains how to transition from Site Modeler to OpenRoads.

Re: Draw XS From Site Model without Base Object
Not directly. And as you noted, sometimes the Object+slopes option is not adequate.
Here is an easy suggestion that might work for you.
Instead of using the model option use the following:
Object + slopes for the main object

Re: Power Civil project management
Hi Neil,
good question!
There are a couple of methods I could suggest you try. Which will be most successful - I really don't know.
1) You could copy and rename both the DGN and GSF. Open the renamed files - answer yes to the Modeler message…
Effects of US Survey Feet or Intl Feet on InRoads Site

InRoads XM or V8i: How to raise or lower the design surface to find a banlanced cut fill volume by not using Site Modeler?
Greetings,
I have created a simple building pad surface using Design Surface (Generate Longitudinal Feature, Generate Sloped Surface). Now I want to find the best design surface elevation so the cut and fill volume is balanced. How to achieve this…
Re: Power Civil: Element Dependencies
The element info tool is the best resource to trace dependencies, as far as I know.
Having said that, I am curious why a wholesale dependency investigation is necessary.
Assuming I understand correctly you need to raise the elevation of…
Re: Geopak - duplicating a model
Defining "best" is difficult since every project is different. But from what you have told me I would do the folowing:
You have a model with various objects. I'll call it Model A
Now create a new model Model B
Open Model B for edit.
Set…
Help Please - V8i inroads site modeler pad design

Re: Site Modeler - modify vertical alignment

Your centerline has a kink in it at the point of compund curvature between the two arcs. While this is probably a bad idea as far as a geometric layout (you probably want the two curves to be tangent to each other) this is perfectly fine as…
Re: Geopak - duplicating a model
Neil, your concerns about multiple graphics is one of the reasons that I stated that it is difficult to determine a "best" workflow. There are some possibilities to alleviate the duplciate graphics if they are bothersome.
You have mentioned the…
Re: Site Modeler / Raise/Lower Surface by volume
Hi Piotr,
The intent of this command is to automate the optimization of the cut/fill. You can adjust elevations of the result for finer tuning or ctrl-Z to return to the previous state.
Nice golf course!

PowerGEOPAK Site Modeler in SS3
An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution.

Inroads Site Modeler Issue
After watching the PowerCivil tutorial ( http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Community/eSeminars/Civil/PowerCivil+for+North+America.htm) I can create a pad. When adding a grading area around the pad, as shown in the tutorial, by using the "edit/new element"…
Site object tie-in element is not accurate
While using "define side slope element" in Geopak Site Modeler ("to object" = existing ground), the tie leaves a gap . Is this a tolerance issue maybe? See attached profile showing gap between existing and proposed surfaces.

Re: Site Modeler - modify vertical alignment
Hi John: I have tested the help files and they are working properly here in XM and V8i. You should log a support call to try to diagnose why your installations are not shoing the help files.
