I have been trying unsuccessfully to create a ramp connection between two links that both have MSE wall. Every time I try to create a ramp, it results in the issue shown below. I can't figure out if it is an issue with my custom templates, the geometry, the terrain data, or a software limitation. Please let me know if there is a workaround or if it is something I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

Concept Station - Median and intersection on a 4 lane divided highway and Lane Marking deletion
Is there a good way to make medians on a divided highway when you have a divided highway template and are using the make intersection tool. Or basically making intersections at all when you are using a divided highway template for the primary roadway and have a secondary roadway coming to it. The median squares off to far out and only can be moved with the radius of the secondary roadway coming in. I have tried making 1 road go all the way through it, and 2 roads coming from each way, and also 3 roads (1 on each side and 1 in the middle). All didn't work.
Also is there a way to manually delete pavement markings? I want to get rid of some of the lane lines and edit others as how they come in are wrong. I know where the editing pavement marking tools are but can't seem to find on that works. Or is it something that I need to change in the templates to make it work right?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer either or both of these questions. I have attached a 2 page PDF for visual.

SS4 - Survey
We are trying to use the linking code UD to set pipe inverts when our Surveyor shoots the top of casting - has anyone gotten this to work and can provide an example
We use our linking codes after the p-code separated by a space
We have tried SI[space]UD-6.5 and SI[space]UD[space]-6.5
We have set our linking code to UD and UD* neither of these has worked
Thanks

ORD - Arc through point
In ORD, how do I create a floated arc through a point? In MX terms, it would be a floated arc from a fixed element, specifying a point and radius on the floated element.
The arc from element tool requires me to define a start point, but I want to specify a pass through point and radius, and let ORD work out my start point.

ORD Update 2 - Deleting Alignments, Linear Geometry
Hi,
Is there a special workflow to delete alignments or linear geometry from a drawing? It seems that anything with intervals - the remove interval function fails, delete doesn't work for plan view or from explorer. This really seems like a flaw in the program for it to be this hard to delete from files. It happens with alignments and linear geometry.

When will the P.I. Rounding Tool be added to OpenRoads Designer? (Change Request No. 160896)
The P.I. rounding tool existed in SS2 but was removed from SS3 and later versions including CONNECT.
I originally asked this question more than 3 years ago, when SS3 was being developed. I got a Changed request No. 160896 filed with Bentley's development group but nothing more.
Is there any movement on that front? I found this to be a very useful tool in the past.

OR - Curve Widening not Working
I am finding that when I apply curve widening it does not work for my corridors which have a number of sharp curves. See attached. Has anyone else had this issue. The only workaround I can think off is to create more .DGN files with each one having a short section (~1km) of road. As I have 85km of road design this is not very feasible for me.
I have checked the point controls and they are all looking correct for curve widening. Trying different widening files (.WID) does not make any difference.

civil tools imported surface not shown in inroads explorer surfaces
hello dears i am beginner of power inroads have a question
1-civil tools imported surface (.xml) is not shown up in power inroads explorer surfaces why?
2-how i can show slope percentages with flow arrows when i import surface from civil tools using xml file or any other source?
3-where is low high points symbology located?
4-there are many of feature definitions like survey civil feature metric which are these have some link with preference files in power inroads explorer ? how i can setup all files linked to my design file?
5-if i will make some alignments, profiles surfaces from civil tools then will shown up or not in power inroads explorer? if not then why? the what is use of power inroads explorer?
6-which dgn libraries control element templates and which controls feature definitions?
thanks to all in advance

I would like to ask about how to export from OpenRoads file to IFC let say 2x3? Any ideas?
Maybe there is plug-in for that kind file transformation?
Guys, how do you manage with this inconvenience?

What is the Best Method to Export OpenRoads Survey and Terrain to Basic 2D MicroStation Elements
I have a small completed OpenRoads Survey mapped site and Terrain Model. I want to export the graphics to basic MicroStation 3D and/or 2D. With rules and locked civil elements, this is making it difficult. I am not interested in keeping the intelligence, which is built into the OpenRoads Survey model / CADD file. I just want dumbing-down graphics. Can someone help me with that or point me to how-to?

Add Geometry Alignment's Station/Offset to InRoads Drainage Profile
I am wondering if there is a way to add a structure's station and offset (relative to a geometry project's alignement that is open) to a DRAINAGE profile?
I am currently importing drainage design files (.sdb) from Sewergems into InRoads to profile them using InRoads. I need the ability to open a Roadway Geometry project and then label inlets/manholes that are on my Drainage profile, with their respective station and offset from the currently active Roadway alignment.
When using the drafting profile notes, it seems the only alignment and station information that can be added is for the drainage alignment that is made when you create the drainage profile. This is NOT the station and offset information I want. The offset from this information is always zero since it's pulling it directly from the drainage alignment which is always along the drainage system that I'm currently profiling.
The roadway alignment may be 50 ft away from my drainage system, but I need to label each structure on the profile with the currently active geometry alignment. The information is there, so I'm not sure why it can't be added to the Profile note.
Can anyone please let me know if this is possible?
