TIN from Shape File
Is there a way to create a TIN file from a GIS Shape file? I've heard that Data Acquisition might be able to do it, but it's not very apparent when I poked around in the module. Thanks.
Contours Smoothing Method
Hello there, I just have a simple question, is there any way that we can choose another method of smoothing of Contours in Inroads , for example in Geopak we have more than one one method of smoothing as shown below:

Out of memory error
Hi,
I am having a problem with a large dtm derived from LiDAR data. It is about 350MB in size, and when I try to generate contours in either InRoads XM or v8i, I get an out of memory (swap device may be full) error. I was actually able…
Re: Geopak CR - Minimum length Contour to Label
I too am having the same problem. It is a lot of work to make a decent looking contour map using existing data. I am also (Dare I say it .....) an Eagle Point / AutoCAD user. A handy tool that EP does not auto label contours, you have to do it manually…

existing surface grade filtering slopes? Any ideas?
I am trying to find existing slope conditions along a 280 mile corridor. I need locations where a 5% and 3% slope exist within 100ft of the track CL (rail). Is there anyway that I can set up some type of filter that will highlight the area where these…
Direction of Depressions
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?

Importing contours AutoCAD file
Hello all,
I have received huge data in contours format (1m interval & each CAD file 200MB to 400 MB total 12nos) from client and the total area covers around 12313.9 hectares. They don't have other format and it is totally hilly terrain.
Each…
Re: Power Civil: Contour Labeling
I have a couple of requests:
Can an option be included in Site or the DTM tools to place the labels on top of, instead of breaking, the contour lines? This is helpful when trying to measure perimeter and areas of closed contours for detention…

Keri,
I apologize for the quality of the video. I have been trying to attach a better quality video off and on for over 2 hours but I keep getting errors.
Let me see if a colleague can post the AVI.

Re: text frame around contour elevations
Keri,
What civil product are you using? In the InRoads Group, see the attached video (in Nathan Davenport's reply) as an example of how to accomplish this.
Thanks,

Ray,
Do you have Delete Ink turned on? If so, toggle it off and leave Pen toggled on.
