Inserting name of surface in plan, profile and cross-section
I have been looking for this for a long time, and now it's time to ask the question to the people who might know the answer.
I work with several seabed DTMs and often create profiles to view vertical shifts. Mostly I have one design survey with lots…
Effects of US Survey Feet or Intl Feet on InRoads Site
Does the use of different working units in a drawing have an effect on how InRoads site treats data? I have a project in which we are using US Survey feet as our working units for the MicroStation drawings. I am tring to bring in the existing ground DTM…
Re: InRoads V8i SS1 File Formats
Is it possible to save .alg and .dtm files back to the Inroads XM format once they have been opened and modified in Inroads V8i?
IR. 566 Import Surface Advanced B-Splines support please!
"Import Surface from Graphics" supports B-splines why not "Import Surface Advanced" ?
Line strings to shapes
I want to mesh all components in a design file but I've noticed that only shapes can be meshed. In other word, outlines of the design that are made of line strings can not be meshed.
I thought I could just convert all line strings in a DGN file to…
Re: Convert LIDAR data
Extract XYZ should work but does not provide the filtering and thinning that you desire. You would end up with all umpteen gajillion points, when what you really want to do is thin the number of points to a managable size.
My experience with the…
Re: Power Civil: Import HECRAS
Neil,
I'm sure there is another solution somewhere.
If not, following my solution and Loading the DTM Hull should give you the outline of the floodway.

Corridor Modeler: DTM vs. TIN. Why are they different?
I am working with Corridor Modeler and I have imported a GEOPAK tin file. I had Corridor Modeler draw cross-sections showing existing ground both with the tin and with the dtm. They dont match. This is a problem. My proposed model has a template that…
Visualizing Components from a DTM (Geopak)
I'm using Geopak Corridor Modeler to create DTMs and corridors. I was wondering if there is a way to visualize the DTM components into a file outside of the "Create Surface" dialogue when creating a surface? Can this can be done from the DTM that Corridor…

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.
IR - Transverse Features in Alternate Surfaces
InRoads XM 08.09.03.06
I often need to toggle on the add transverse features in the models so that the slope components match the surface triangulation. But, no transverse features are added to alternate surfaces, so I end up with different triangulation…
Inroads V8i/V8i Select Series compatibility issue
I have a student using a 64-bit win7 version of inroads V8i Select Series at his home and coming in to our lab (32-bit winXP with V8i) his dtm files are not recognized.
The default save format for V8i Select series is an 8.11.7- is there a way…
Re: Component Filter
I see no InRoads method for filtering Components. Typically good component Naming conventions can group the components well in the list and can be sorted by Name or Style or Description. In order to make sorting work to its full benefit you should take…
Fill Slope Transitions / Parametric Constraints in the Roadway Designer
Has anyone talked about the difference of modeling fills using a ration (e.g. 4:1) versus slope percentage (25%) particaularly regarding transitions?
Example: A 2:1 slope transitioning to 4:1. One could expect the midpoint of this transition to be…
Corridor Modeler Proposed Cross Sections From DTM
I can't seem to get proposed cross section elements to draw on my existing ground cross sections. I run the process and it works through the cross sections but draws nothing. Any solutions? A colleague in another office was able to do it, so I am assuming…
Geopak CR - Minimum length Contour to Label
I am currently erasing a lot of of extra index contour labels (the labels are large since it is a large scale drawing) I have lots of small index contours that form small closed loops (The TIN is LiDAR generated, so I have lots of these). Each contour…
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:

substrata in inroads ss3
Hi! In previos versions it was possible to change properties for a surface to be for example existing, substrat etc.....
Where can I find this in the new version? The problem happens when trying to mass calculate crossections with both existing ground…

GEOPAK DTM Drape Elements tool not working in SS3
An issue came in today that I think will benefit the community to see troubleshooting techniques as we work toward a resolution.
Geopak ss3 no longer will no longer drape elements, using a 2d file and tin, to a 3d file. it does work in ss2.

How to show Low/High Points of a Surface (dtm)
Hello there! I have this issue, when i was done creating a surface (dtm) using Inroads, i wanted to view the low/high points of that surface, so is there any way to view them using InRoads??? Thanks & Regards, Imad Balich
