Hi, I am using Power inroads SS10. I have attached a dgn with smart elements and corridor. I created surface in the active file from the referenced file. When i delete few features in the referenced file, the deleted features does not go away from…

Hello, I have situation where I don't think I can accurately model the existing conditions with a DTM. DTM definition meaning 1 Z value for a pair of XY coordinates. Well, picture the face of a cliff, there may be several Z values for one XY coordinate…

Hi I am working in InRoads for a project. Apart from cut/fill volume I need to extract classified slope area for cut & fill to estimate slope protection costs. How can I extract the same. Thank you in advance

Hi, I had copied a portion of surface containing features to a new surface. When i triangulate the clipped surface there are only less triangles visible. Around thousands of triangles are shown in "deleted triangle" column in the surface contents. Where…

Hello, I have inherited a model and inRoads files from another company who I cannot contact for help in how they created the model or what version of inRoads/Microstation they used. The issue I am experiencing is when I am in Roadway Designer, the…

Hello, I wanted to know if any of you know how to download or gain the drawing patterns in Microstation Power Inroads. For some reason I don't have the library that contains all the patterns. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks,…

Anyone know if there is a way to use a shape with a hole in it to compute the triangle volume between surfaces? If we need to differentiate cut/fill by areas like this, the only way I can see to do it is use two shapes and then a secondary calculation…

I have 2 corridors that intersect which I'm trying to model but when creating the surface, the Clipping Options dialogue is blank. It seems to be trying to blend the 2 corridors together where they overlap instead of clipping. Am I missing something or…

I am editing the surface manually instead of using a ton of end condition overrides in Roadway Designer. Once I have done the edits to the surface, will I be able to use the Model at all? Will the model override all my changes that I did manually to the…

Hello All, We have an InRoads SS2 surface and want to generate stake out points from the surface. Along the breaklines, we want critical points (end points, high/low points, change of direction), plus at an interval (let's say every 10m). Then,…

I am having problems editing triangles. There are spots in my project where a high line rail crosses a road. There is about 30' difference in elevation. In top view, the vertical plane makes it difficult to use the edit surface> delete triangle. I wrote…

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…

Hello, I using InRoads V8i SS2 and I'm trying to construct a template that works with two target surfaces. For example, in a project with two DTM surfaces loaded (existing ground and rock surface, ~ 3 meters above existing ground),I have to configure…

I am having a problem with surface files continually getting corrupted. I am creating a new surface by importing breaklines into the surface (file -->import --> surface). I am importing these features as single elements. When I go to display them on a…

Hello there! I was trying to Get some Elevations from a Surface for some Cogo Points by creating a clearance report from the specified Surface, The issue is that when i checked the Northing & Easting of the Cogo Points, they were different than the specified…
