RE: [OR] Corridor Throws Error When Attempting to Edit a Parametric Constraint

$

That last part sounds about right.

Anyway, I've seen the same thing at times: all green. One distinct memory I have is of knowing that something was wrong, so I scanned through the first level under each main type of element. Eventually I got to seeing red. I was able to fix it that way. I can't guarantee that you won't be wasting time if you do the same, but that's my experience. Usually the problem is more obvious.

Basically, that window seems to be an assemblage of all civil elements within your working file. It's sometimes helpful to delete certain things, such as once I decided to delete something under DynamicCrossSectionSpace because it was giving me trouble, and that helped. (Of course later I found that a different series of steps would have worked too, but I wasn't aware at the moment. And that same series of steps might not work for a different problem that deleting the DynamicCrossSectionSpace.)

I'm out of guesses, but I have no memory of a corridor doing that to me. In fact, in my experience, if they go bad I can still look at Corridor Objects, though nothing happens if I make any changes. Usually, the cause has something to do with superelevation not being associated with the alignment correctly, or the terrain might be faulty, or whatever.

RE: [OR] Survey foot-International foot scaling observed in complex terrain model where all models are in survey feet

By survey DTM, I mean an OpenRoads terrain element. It was created either by importing from a CSV points file directly as OpenRoads points, or from COGO points that had been visualized. (I don't recall which route I took.)

Regarding Surface>Edit Surface>Transform Surface, that is a path I'm unfamiliar with. Is there a key-in for that (if it is still a valid step), or some other way to get to that tool?

Also, unless the transform surface tool allows scaling, that isn't the appropriate move. Translation is definitely not what I want to do.

What's strange here is that I'm using the existing survey DTM as the base, at whatever given coordinates, and what comes out in my complex terrain is that the coordinates are scaled down as if they were for international feet, when on the contrary they were for survey feet, and they're in a survey feet file.

The Transform Surface command is an InRoads command, and it does allow scaling. And when you said "DTM" that's the tool that InRoads users think of since a DTM is InRoads-speak for that flavor of surface. Obviously the Transform Surface tool won't work with your Terrain.

Hi Chris,

I Don't know why you think there must be other data, we are just starting this project in Railtrack and the first thing we have done is creating the existing alignment of the whole track in a  *.alg file.

When I load the *.alg file with openroads .872 or .878 and than I start creating a corridor it took so long before the pop-up comes to assign a template to the corridor and that delay isn't there in the version .845.

RE: Importing Autocad file

Dear Mark Marnell
I checked the coordinate data in the ACAD file match with the coordinate data in the CSV file, I did ACAD file get referenced coincident option/coincident world, but the drawing displays in another coordinate place after taking referenced. Can you if any other method is there to input survey data from ACAD.

Dear Sir 

          Am facing problems while importing autocad file (Some of the file are not import as DXF file). Is there any another method to import autocad file with levels (without take it as reference file). Presently the way am following is File---->Import---->ASCII file, but it is not working for more data files(AutoCad files).


RE: SS4/ Openroads orphaned components in 3D view can't be deleted

Hey guys,

Paul Cusack showed me this trick. Put all the orphaned components in their own level and delete them using the "LEVEL ELEMENT DELETE" keyin.

This works for us everyone.

Problem solved. User fault - I had abandoned End Condition Exception in this corridor. So this was not an orphaned component taht was an issue in previous OpenRoads releases.

RE: SS4 Superelevation disable interpolation

(Yeah, it's interpolating the value of 5.9 from 5.8 and 6.0. The tables do not have 5.9 in there... I see what you're saying, I guess it could be "rounding" up to 5.9, but it still has to find that data, since it doesn't exist... anyway. ;)

That was it!

I took a look in the sep file and changed the value to 0.2 and that bumped me up to 6.0%. Now, I'm assuming it won't round down, but you know what happens when you assume. Do you know where I can find the [guidelines/arguments] for the .sep files? Ie the eRoundingIncrement variable is one of many, I'd like to look into it and see what else I don't know about!

Thanks again for the help! I really didn't want to do that manually...

EDIT:  I found this but it doesn't give explanations of all of the variables... If you know of anything better it'd be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

COGO can not read a .tin file.  I tried to grab an elevation from plan view labeler and only reads "Not available".  I tried to generate an existing profile using the same .tin file but I get an error message stating "unable to store profile".  Basically COGO can not read the .tin.  I'm having the same  issue with other projects and .tin files.  

[CR] [OR] When creating permanent cross sections, please change the model in only the view we specified

$

As of Geopak SS4 .878, currently, when using Create Cross Sections, we use Display in View to specify the view we want opened to the new cross sections, but it changes all views to the new model. This is painful because now, if we want to go back to the other models, we have to change all the views back. There may be an alternative such as saving a view set, but that's less fluent. (And if such an alternative exists, I continue to be unaware of it.)

One feature I've never used is displaysets (I don't know that I've used it by name). But when I look at the help file, search for displaysets, and see guidance to select menu options that don't exist (if going only on the names provided in the help file). And judging from what else I see there, it doesn't solve my problem.

I'm not sure quicksets are the way to go either, as that seems to be oriented towards element selection, not view settings.

Check the name of the feature at that point. I have seen this happen when a feature/point name is used in more than one template in different locations - one being a surface point and one being a subgrade point. The software cannot break a feature into multiple features, so it will be assigned as either a surface feature or a subgrade feature for the entire corridor length.

Roadway Designer exterior boundary erro

I am using inroads SS2 and the following issue appear and cant find any solution

I have created corridor through roadway designer after completing the hrzl & vertical geometry and a symmetric template 

In the roadway designer, the create surface final process the Exterior surface join lowest point at certain location Wearing coarse joined the sub grade 

The template is symmetric and this issue happens in one side only !!!   

The final surface get will result non uniform in the triangulation view 

This will appear in the cross section exterior surface 

Any solution to this issue pls !

 

Stripping component "Alternate Bottom Surface" does not get created.

I am running PowerGeopak SS4 version 08.11.09.872. I have included an "Alternate Bottom Surface" in the definition of my stripping component, and then selected "Create Corridor Alternate Surfaces", and I do not get an alternate surface for my stripping component.
