Dear The question is about earthwork design in cut section. In the cut section we want to intersect earthwork slope with the subgrade bottom layer. so that we can cut the existing ground up to the subgrade bottom layer and fill it with the greater CBR…

Hello, I am using Geopak SS4 and I am trying to get earthwork values similar to legacy Geopak products. I have created proposed corridor models and an existing conditions model using surface templates (existing pavement, topsoil, sidewalk etc.) and…

I am trying to calculate earthwork that must include existing base and existing curb and existing sidewalk quantities. However, these quantities should only be fill volumes since their excavation volumes are being paid for under a separate pay item. Is…

I'm trying to figure out how to get the above quantities from the End-Area Volumes tool in OpenRoads. Is it possible to do this all with a single template? How can I create a component for the 1:1 side slope of the subgrade cut (grey dashed line) that…

I am running Microstation SS2 with GeoPAK and am currently doing earthwork via input files. I have ran several roads today and they have all ran without issues. I have just been doing a "save as" to make new input files and now I am getting this: …

Hi, has anyone ever found that the earthwork strings are joing themselves weirdly in benching section . Please see the attached screenshot. Please explain why it is happenig and how to avoid it ? Thanks.

Hi, I don't fully understand the option 'Draw Depressions Couterclockwise' under the Advanced tab in the View Contours box. Why and when should this be used? Jean Castro

As I do my earthwork runs, I have some construction that starts and stops and starts again. I would like Geopak to read those sections without proposed construction as "Zero volumes". Instead it skips over them, carrying earthwork quantities through areas…

Is it possible to obtain component quantities report and volumes for an area template, if so how is it done regards, Juan Solorzano

Geopak V8i 08.11.07.615 I'm running Geopak Earthwork on cross sections and am constantly getting the "XS-W-DANGPROP Proposed undercut element between points:..." The earthworks ran fine in Geopak v8. I tried unlocking all elements and adjusting…

Hi volks, What if you have huge projects from a building site with lots of stages for earthworks and your client, a building company needs reports of lots of volume calculation for billing purposes. Lets say we have several surveys from the stages…

Hi, Are there any documented workflows based on best practices for balancing cut and fills using Inroads? For this application we are developing some preliminary cost estimates for constructing multiple reservoirs in a drainage basin to reduce flooding…

I'm working on a site model for an outdoor track and field complex. So far, I've completed my horizontal and vertical geometry, created terrain objects (one for the track, another for the sidewalk, a third for the infield, and a fourth for the outfield…

Hello, I am having trouble with some components in my cross sections not displaying. I have check the styles to make sure the display options are correct and they are since I have components of the same style displaying at different stations. Everything…

Greetings- I've thought about this and I'm not sure the best way to proceed. I need to create a template for a road where I have varying areas of overexcavation - a few station limits. When I run this template, I need to generate an alternate surface…

hi, I tried input file running earthwork on MX2.6 and I have almost all the sloping area with tadpole symbol (cut/fill) but in MXV8i SS2 using the same input file, i don't see much tadpole symbol as in MX2.6, why it's like that? refer to the attachment…

I need to take earthwork quantities and leave out some elements in my cross sections. In the area of concern, there is existing ground/pavement. There is also some widening pavement already in place from earlier traffic maintenance. This widening…

What is the MDC classification in end-area volume for InRoads V8i SS2 used for, how does it function and how is it used?

Is there a way to run the earthwork application manually so that it reads and calculates shapes already created? This would be very beneficial for the complicated earthwork scenarios I have on my project: It doesn't know what to do in some areas and I…

I am working on creating mass diagrams for a large earth moving project. I have earthwork running to include separate approaches and connections by using the add/subtract options within earthwork. There is a multi factor used on all earthened fill. I…
