It will be really helpful if you could re-upload the Civil Cell library again.

Many thanks.

Civil Cell Information

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!

Hi Holly

Thanks for the swift response. Creating a civil cell using the 3D point and the rotator described above as references works perfect. When placing the cell everything functions as it should. However should I set a profile to the color 37 line, extending from the point using the tool "profile by slope from point", before creating the civil cell some elements are seemingly lost. The references are highlighted as if valid when creating it (civil cell preview pane as well), but when trying to place it the cell does not fully construct.

Hi Michael,

Just the z value is metric. The xy is latitude and longitude. Thanks

DEM to xyz file

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?

Simple. You just missed a couple of steps. Export the alignment to native. Delete it. Import from memory. Re-apply feature style and you are good to go.

I have had the same issues, plus using the element template properties used in a previously used style and replacing stations with the current cursor position when you ACCEPT values you just typed into the dialog.

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.

How did you figure all of these out?

Unfortunately, once I delete and replace the alignment, I have to recreate the corridor since I can't change the alignment of an existing corridor. Granted, this is not a complicated corridor (and I have heard there is a version that offers this capability, which I cannot get) but I can't see how this qualifies as a circular reference.

Sometimes, I am just looking for a work-around, but sometimes I'd like to understand the where's and why's, too.

It wasn't easy. Many, many issues and a lot of hours trying to find a way to make it work. Try CORRIDOR REATTACH. I have had some luck there. There are also issues with that one as well, but it beats re-creating work you have spent hours on already.

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.

RE: Civil Cells Dependency Failure

Hi Damian,

I believe this has something to do with your reference file, Turbine Locations.dgn. I noticed that you attached the 3D model to the Default model of the new.dgn. When this is done, it should automatically attach it to the Default-3D model of new.dgn as well. For some reason you either deleted it, or it did not attach itself. You will want to reattach the Turbine Locations.dgn to make sure that it creates the attachment in the Default-3D. I do not have your .itl, so it's a little hard for me to test to make sure this is the cause of it all. But after I did a few tests, I'm pretty sure this is it. If after you redesign your civil cell and it's not working, please let me know.

Feature definition graphics in Geopak SS3 not showing in corrdiors

$

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.

RE: Survey SMD chain label

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:

RE: Survey SMD chain label

Hello Kevin. I'm using VBA macros in OpenRoads. My issue is a result of the problem described in this post......
communities.bentley.com/.../linear_feature_description_incorrect

So my workflow to overcome the issue is this...
1. Import FBK files to OpenRoads.
2. Resolve all line work connectivity issue.
3. Add or revise the chain descriptions in OpenRoads survey details. (get rid of the "JoinPoint Chain" from the description)
4. Apply the appropriate labeling macros to the chains.
5. Export the chains to Geopak Survey from OpenRoads.
6. Visualize the survey chains from Geopak Survey into a clean dgn file.

The issue is I have never been able to label a linear element using the SMD and Geopak Survey. The issue in OpenRoads pertaining to the label is the label is not static. If for any reason the data file needs to be reimported the label goes away and I'm back to "JoinPoint Chain" for description.

An option is to label in a separate dgn. Like this..
1. Import FBK files to OpenRoads.
2. Resolve all line work connectivity issue.
3. Add or revise the chain descriptions in OpenRoads survey details. (get rid of the "JoinPoint Chain" from the description)
4. Apply the appropriate labeling macros to the chains.
5. Export screen graphics to separate model and maintain the labeling there.

Not very efficient but I can get it done. Any ideas for a better way?

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.
