The existing terrain does not show when I use the “Create Cross Sections”, it does however show when I use “CrossSection View”. Any suggestions to get the existing terrain to display?

Open Roads ConceptStation - Terrain Import
How do I get a .tin file import created from a GeoPak SS4 terrain model
to not look like this in ConceptStation?
I use the Import feature to import a .tin and a .tiff into CS. It creates a .3sm mesh wherein the road network looks like a bunch of wet noodles over meatballs. What trick am I missing to make the roads look like they are on fills and in cuts?

station increments
Howdy!
Is there any other way to change stationing increments from 500' to 100' using Txdot V8i ddb besides modifying it under design and computation manager?
Every time I use that route the aforementioned ddb goes back to its default definitions (500' increments) even after having it modified and saved using 100' increments. Furthermore, I have already saved a modified version of the aforementioned ddb under another name and it is still reseting to its parent's orginal default definitions.
Thank You in advance for your prompt response!
Cheers!

OpenRoads ConceptStation .ird file fails to export
Hi everybody
I am desperately trying to export out my ConceptStation file to OpenRoads Designer to work on it further and with more tools. I followed the instructions on the wiki on exporting but I get an "export failed" error on just the .ird template drop file. Everything else says it exported without a problem, but that template drop file is pretty important...If I can't get it to work, I am pretty much back to square one and have lost days of work.
When I try to import the .ird file into OpenRoads Designer, I get an unexpected error that an "unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: Corridor, RoadwayDesigner, InRoads, Line 1, position 3942445".
I really need help on this issue. Do I uninstall and reinstall ConceptStation? Is there something wrong or damaged in the ConceptStation file that needs changed? Any advice would be helpful. I have attached screenshots of the error messages

[OR] Strange behavior creating and then manipulating a profile curve when constructed from element
I have established a vertical curve (original curve) from three points of a projection. I want to extend this curve to a lower station. (That it is derived from a projection doesn't matter to the behavior mentioned elsewhere, but it may matter in order to provide context as to why I'm doing this in the first place.)
My next steps are to create a new curve but with a specific length (one that I can change at will, for trial and error) but sharing the same curvature rate as the original curve.
So I do a parabola from element. When asked for the reference element, I select the original curve derived from the projection. When asked for the start point, I click the higher station end of the original curve. When asked for the curvature, I snap to another point on the original curve and hit enter to lock in the curvature rate. Then when asked for the end point, I move the cursor to the left and specify a curve length--say, 300 feet, and then click to accept. So far, it looks like the curve is going in the intended direction, with the higher station end being the same between the original curve and the new curve.
After I click to say I don't want to trim or extend, sometimes (but not always--I haven't identified a pattern) the element disappears. If it disappears, I hit undo. I see the element that I just created, but it has the broken symbology. I enter a length of 100 feet, just to see what's going on. The curve begins at the point I originally gave, so that much is as expected. The curvature rate is the same. The length is 100 feet as expected, now. But the curve is extending toward higher stations. I try entering -100 feet for the length; nothing happens. I enter -200 feet. It now becomes positive 200 feet, still extending to the right.
When the element doesn't disappear, it looks like it's behaving properly, but when I enter in a specific value for the length, the element is now placed so that the origin point at the higher station of the original curve becomes the low-station end of the new curve, and the new curve extends to the right of that point.
Because of this weird behavior, I decided to tinker a little bit. I clicked the handles on each end of the new curve and relocated the ends. I moved the low-station end around. I noticed that the high-station end moved as well, but not the same distance. Then I moved the high-station end to make it longer. Then I moved the low-station end and the high-station end shortened.
I can't make heads or tails of this behavior. Any ideas? Using Geopak SS4 .878.

Retaining Wall Template Set Up
I am trying to build a template for a retaining wall in Open Roads. How do I get the depth of the retaining wall to vary with the terrain? Also, how do I add a fill end condition at the bottom of the retaining (this also needs to vary with the terrain).

When using Openroads Designer, how to bring back side toolbar just like Power Civil?
Could Openroads Designer display side toolbar just like Power Civil? I am not quite familiar with the ribbon interface on ORD, so I want to change back to side toolbar just like what Power Civil looks. See below picture. Some of our customers have the same question.
I searched similar questions, and found that V8i style Tasks could be displayed in MicroStation CONNECT Edition using the configuration variable MS TASKNAVIGATION CONFIGURATION.
And I tried this method on ORD but it did not work. Maybe there is other configuration variable that we could change in order to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help!

[ORD] Missing OpenRoads Workflows on QAT
I've been looking at the migration tools and gathering ideas for how best to move from XIN to ORD. As I was experimenting, I enabled the Task interface using the Configuration Variable MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION
Later, I noticed I am missing certain Workflows on the QAT. Is the a side effect of enabling tasks or have I somehow changed a setting I am unaware of?
How do I restore the default workflows? How would I create my own?

SUE - Database links vs. graphic elements
Hi forum,
I'm using SUE to design the waterpipe, electric duct etc. In the program an excavation trench to a certain pipe is very easy to add, when I "extrude" 3D-elements of the pipe. However, I have trouble to separate the pipe elements to the trench elements, because when I'm deleting the pipe, the trench will automatically be deleted as well and my client insists these two different types of element have to be divided into different dgn-files. What is an easy way in SUE to create two files, one for pipes, wells etc. and the other one for trenches and other earth works?
Another question - maybe related to above is, when designing a 3D-model to a pipe / duct, SUE will automatically add a 2D line for it and this is very useful, when a plan-drawing needs to be prepared. However, the 2D-line SUE added seems to be some different kind of element (links) rather than "normal" microstation lines or chains. These line, depending on its horizontal / vertical geometry could contain different (often very short) segments. Thus it will look quite unpredictable, if legend for this line should be different than a full line (e.g. dash, dot line dot etc.). Is there a way to convert the line to a microstation "complex chain" or alike?
Thank you!

Cross Section Labeler not Opening
we are unable to open the Cross section labeler feature in Corridor modeling.
We open Microstation and load geopak. We then activate geopak successfully. We then open Corridor Modeling, it opens successfully. We can use all feature buttons in corridor modeling except the Cross Section Labeler. When we select the Cross section labeler, it attempts to install geopak.
We've uninstalled microstation and geopak with revo uninstaller, rebooted and performed a new install but the issue is still there. We're running windows 10.

Updating Existing Cross Sections
Is there a way of updating a cross section set? In previous versions of Geopak, the cross section cell could be retained so that new runs could be processed. In InRoads, the cross section set could be updated or new DTMs added. It seems to me that OpenRoads can only create a new model each time cross sections are created.

Attempting to run proposed sections, after selecting Run and Apply, the prompt for the stub out report does not appear and everything locks up. I tried on another pc and was able to get the prompt for the stub out report however only one cross section started to process then it locked up - I've attached the log file in hopes someone has experienced this issue before.

Annotative Baseline Stationing and Annotations
Hello Everyone,
I have been searching online and in forums for an answer to this questions but cannot seem to find one. Is there any way to set up baseline stationing and annotation so that it is annotative? Currently, the workflow we use is to create multiple levels within our baseline file for the different baseline scales. I do not really like this approach because if the baseline geometry changes then you need to go through all the various baseline scale levels and update the stationing and annotations accordingly, which can be tedious and error prone. Right now I am trying to get my company to make the switch to start using InRoads SS4, mainly for is more dynamic capabilities when it comes to modifying/adjusting alignments/corridors/surfaces/etc. and what hoping that there may be a way with this newer version to also make annotations annotative. I know that for AutoCAD baselines are not only dynamic but all the stationing (labels, tick marks) and annotations (PT/PC callouts, bearings) are also dynamic and annotative so that if you change the geometry or annotation scale everything updates accordingly. I am hoping there may be a way to do something similar with SS4 but have not found any documentation on it yet. If this still is not possible, will this functionally be available in the Connect edition? Thank you.
Carl
