My company is making the switch to SS4 (we will eventually have PowerGeopak SS4, for now it is Civil Engineering Suite). I have seen a couple threads on this already, but I first want to make ABSOLUTELY sure that SITE is completely gone and never coming back. Is this correct? This is very unfortunate, because I have built lots of tins with this tool. It seems to me that the only way to build now is to have chains and profiles for every single "would-be" SITE element. You must have different templates for every single scenario you have.
Any suggestions on building ADA-compliant curb ramps? In SITE, I was able to start with the proposed profile, build my curb lines off of it, and then work my ADA ramps in.
I was also able to very easily plot my retaining wall profile sheets by getting the existing ground at the back of wall and proposed ground at face using the profile analysis tool.
I am getting the feeling that the new software is being driven by huge roadway projects with miles and miles of work, however the smaller jobs I work on don't seem to translate. Or am I just missing something?
Any input would be much appreciated!
