Many thanks.
Many thanks.
Bentley Systems, Inc. has been working with the Mississippi Department of Transportation regarding the migration to Open Roads Technology and PowerGEOPAK 08.11.09.493 platform. (Note, this will apply to InRoads and MX as well). One of the things most impressive is what they have done with their Civil Cell Library. Below are a couple of links that will be extremely helpful for those of you beginning to migrate to the new technology and have begun to consider Civil Cells. The first link is a Demo / Q&A on a Ramp Exit Gore area they did. Towards the end of the video Keith also talks about some general tips he embraced during the development of their robust Civil Cell library in general. Also included is their latest workspace environment as well as their documentation page for the new technology. I know a lot of Agencies are currently in the process of developing workspaces. The environment MSDOT has created should give you some excellent ideas to consider. Note, as stated in the video, all of this is public domain and may be freely distributed.
Note, when selecting the FTP link choose cancel when prompted for a username and password and the file will then proceed to download.

Their new documentation developed for implementation. Again, very impressive!

I have created an xyz point file from a DEM and was able to generate a DTM with contours. The contours however are in meters. My question is what is the best way to convert the Z value from meters to feet using inroads v8i ss2?
Is it just me, or does is seem like for every 10 elements that you assign a name for Feature Definition to, 9 end up with the wrong name - either one used weeks ago, or some other incorrect name. Creating Surfaces, Horizontal Geometry, Assigning a Feature definition to an unnamed element - I try typing in a name in the tool settings and then, during the actual process as I accept each step, the names revert back to some previously used name and not the name I just typed in.
Hi Mark, This change occurred because all of the JavaScript code had to be re-written to work with the newer versions of the Microsoft XML code. The schemas should all be pretty much the same in the XML, but the JavaScript used to format will have to be modified as you've shown above. I was told that more documentation will follow, but at this time we don't have a full list with the changes. I am planning to start a WIKI over in the OpenRoads Designer pages to list the differences as we find them.
How to annotate horizontal and vertical geometry in geopak??
I am unable to view the different feature definition graphics in my corridors on my PC. Everything in the corridors is displayed in grey color, while other PCs in my organization can display the graphics properly. I have tried going to Project explorer - civil standards - feature definitions - linear - roadway, and opening the ' element information' dialog box and setting the 'create template geometry' to 'True' and running the corridors to no avail. I would appreciate any help with this issue.
If you are using the OpenRoads Survey tools in Power GEOPAK, you can use the VBA "LinearFeatureDescription" to automatically annotate the pipe sizes. To do this, the pipe size would have to be imported as a description for the linear feature:
Then you can set up the VBA Macro to annotate the linear feature description:
For an example of setting up Survey to use the VBA Macro, check out this video:
7. Coordinated grid - I figured this would need to be a "Plan" "Annotation group", much like the profile grid, I have had no luck in creating one.
