Offset Profile not working in Quick Alignment
I am designing vertical profile by Quick Alignment method MXRoad SS4.
In Quick Vertical Alignment > Profile Surface Details > Advanced > Display Associated String > Offset profile
When I am using "Offset Profile" to offset my designed profile or any other model at say 5m left or right , it is saying "no intersection found in model".
Can anybody help?

OPEN ROADS SCOPE
Hello, I am researching about the OPEN ROADS and I would like to know the scope of it. Let's say new features , elements , etc. These, not including the file´s change already read in some tutorials ( one .dgn fil instead of .dtm , .fil , etc)

Extend existing crossfall onto new feature
Using the vertical profile tools in Openroads is it possible to extend a crossfall from existing features onto a new feature.
e.g. I have a topo survey with a centreline and channel strings. I want to extend the existing crossfalls onto a new feature for widening a new road.
This would be similiar to the Minor option 103 Add string: extend/contract crossfall used in MX Road.

Geopak SS4 Integration with Projectwise
Recently my company has purchased Projectwise and we are working through how to integrate our Geopak workflows with Projectwise. The two files that I am wondering about are the ITL and XIN file. We use the configuration variables civil_xin_file and civil_roadway_template_library to direct to the location of each file on Projectwise. When selecting the create template file the template library that is selected is the Projectwise copy of that file it was directed to but the file is not checked out on Projectwise. Because of this it can get confusing with multiple people trying to use a single ITL file and not knowing it was checked out. What is the workflow people use for this problem? The same can be said about the XIN file and it not being checked out when using any of its functions in Goepak (cross section, annotation, and earthwork). Also is there anyway to change the XIN file that is loaded in Geopak (while in the program) besides changing the configuration variable and getting out and back I?.

Error - Open Roads Training
I'm trying to run 'Quickstart for Roadway Modeling using OpenRoads Technology Practice Workbook' When I click onto it to activate it I get the above (Screen shot) message in the window. I have got the latest version of Abobe Flash Player 20 ActiveX (Version 20.0.0.286) & it was installed on Jan 20th 2016. The latest version of Java 8 Update 66 (Version 8.0.660.17) was installed on 22nd Dec 2015. I believe that both Java & Adobe Flash are the latest versions so do not understand why I cannot access the Workbook. Can you please contact me to help me resolve this. Thanks - My email is Daniel.ahern@aecom.com

SS3 files referencing themselves.
We have some files that are randomly adding references of the parent drawing to themselves. Not the civil 3D model, but the actual default model of the dgn. I was told that this may be caused by a bug in the current version SS3 where the 3D model is coming in with a nesting level of 99. After hearing this, I checked every corridor file we have and they all have 3D files with a nesting level of 99. Only some have generated the self reference. Not sure exactly when these self references are being created, so I can't nail down what process was going on to cause it.
At any rate, when this self reference is in the drawing I am told that there is a circular reference when I try to add anything to the corridor, and eventually the file crashes. If I try to detach the self reference I get the error message that the reference has probable dependencies, detaching will break relationships in the element rules, which may be permanent. Sometimes this works anyway, most often it kills the file and when I reopen it quite often bad things have happened. Such as, my corridor has disappeared.
Sorry to ramble, but I am wondering if there is a way to change the nesting level. If I try to it just dings and resets to 99. Even if I am able to change it, is that the cause of the self referenced file? And is there a way to keep this from happening in the future?

InRoads v8i SS2 Drainage display on Existing Profile
InRoads 08.11.07.428
Microstation 08.11.09.357
Our company has been working on adding drainage networks to existing profiles and we have come across a problem. We have a section of roadway with 3 cross pipes. They are not connected to each other. The designer started and .sdb file and added the pipes. When I display the pipes on the profile I go to <Create Profile <Source check the radio button for Network and add the pipe ID for a single pipe in the From & To fields. I then check on Existing Profile, click apply and select the desired profile. All 3 crossing pipes are displayed. 2 are displayed as a single ellipse but the one used in the From/To fields shows the entire pipe. If I switch the From/To fields to another pipe, that pipe is then displayed as the entire pipe and the other 2 as ellipses. Why does the pipe selected for the From/To fields show up this way? I do not have Include Projected Features checked under the Include leaf.
1st screenshot shows how the pipe displays if it is set in the From/To fields 2nd is how the others display.

Quick Profile Transitions using Corridor Features
Is it possible to use a corridor feature like a road edge of pavement to be able to create a quick profile transition or be able to see it in a profile view. I already have mainline corridor modeled and am trying to build my side-road intersections. I would be nice to be able to snap or grab the feature that already exists so that I can do a quick profile transition. In SS2 I would have just displayed my corridor as a surface in the profile view and made the vertical alignment tie into that. Now in SS4 I don't see a way to snap or view the corridor unless I first export it as a surface/terrain model. Using InRoads SS4 .845

InRoads not recognising Reference file that has an active profile
I have my horiztonal and vertical alignments in a reference file. In my corridor design file I tried to use "profile by slope from element" to project a vertical alignment onto an element. When I try to select my reference element InRoads says it doesn't have an active profile. I know it does because when I hover over it the pop-up box shows an active profile and when I go to the reference file it lists the profile as active. Any thoughts?

Can't Find the 'Cursor Prompt Dialog'
I'm using SS4 and can't find the 'Cursor Prompt Dialog' under 'Workspace > Preferences > View Option - Civil'. Has it been moved? Or, is there something I need to do to get it to show up? Thanks in advance.

'Filling' low lying areas (where ponded water occurs) with Geopak Site
I am having trouble figuring out how to 'fill' low lying areas (think ponding water...shown in blue of the attached screen shot) within a site that is being graded/filled. Would anyone know how to accomplish this? I have tried placing single 'points' in the low areas area and the result is 'spikes' that beginning at the elevation I set and return back down to ground point shots (low areas) from the survey.

MX SS4 08.11.09.845 Using the SCRIPT major option
In order to avoid an issue with exporting 2D DGNs from SS4 (strings are being saved as 3D polylines with no levels, causing issues with linetypes, etc.), we are exporting to Native DGNs, then converting these to DWGs.
I'm trying to speed thing up, since updating layouts, profiles, etc. for each option when doing a double export, even using Batch Convert, can be quite laborious. So I'm trying out something, using the introduction of SCRIPT for processing of external / CAD operations as follows: SCRIPT, key-in {command}, {parameter} i.e. script, Save As dwg drawingname.dwg - saves the current drawing to the named drawing.
So I've added code to my input file as follows:
SCRIPT,MX EXPORT NATIVE_DGN [filename]_NATIVE.DGN to create the native DGN
NEWDPF,[filename]_NATIVE.DGNto open the DGN just created, tells me it's an invalid filename (using DPW or DPF just opens empty drawings)
SCRIPT,SAVE AS DWG [filename].DWGto save the native DGN as a DWG, nothing saved.
Can anyone help me get the last two lines to work?

Power Civil memory Error
Hi
Im getting the following problem whenever i open a 3D drawing with horizontal alignments. The error only occurs when alignments are present and does not seem to affect all computers. It continually pops up until the drawing eventually crashes.
I have tried updating my .Net Framework with no success as well as formatting my machine and doing a fresh install.
PowerCivl version 08.11.09.845
Any assistance resolving the error would be greatly appreciated,
Regards

Is there an option in Power geopak SS4 using Create Point Control, where I can reference a null point of a reference corridor, right now the only option is to reference Linear 3D Element of a reference corridor?
Is there an option in Power geopak SS4 using Create Point Control, where I can reference a null point of a reference corridor? Right now the only option is to reference Linear 3D Element of a reference corridor? My Template has a backbone which is comprised of null points which controls lane locations and slopes. Depending on the location, the linear Elements can change from roadway to bridge, whereas the null points stay the same. I am looking for an efficient solution.
Thank You

[IR Ss2] InRoads Stationing dialog box has obsolete option?
I just noticed that the Stationing dialog box still refers to both Vertical Alignments and Super-elevation as something to be adjusted if the stationing of an alignment is made. As I understand it, Since the release of the Roadway Designer, Super-elevation was removed from alg files and relocated into the Roadway Designer Corridors.
So shouldn't the Stationing dialog box only offer to adjust Vertical Alignments?
However, this then begs a new question. How does one adjust super-elevation in the Roadway Designer after an alignments stationing is adjusted?

Using display rules to handle varying fore slopes based on the ditch width.
For example if the ditch depth is 6’ or less from the turf shoulder, then we use a 6:1 to the special ditch bottom. If it is between 6’ and 30’ from the turf shoulder we show a 6:1/4:1 to the ditch bottom. Anything deeper than that, it’s a 6:1/4:1/3:1.
I cant get the first two options to work with Display rules. I even tried to use a null point, have the profile tied to that point via point controls, and then set the display rule saying that if the NP is <=6, use the 6:1. It will only run the first rule when the ditch is 6’ or less. I have also added the rule to the other 6:1/4:1 components.

geopak suite v8i road - how to create/modify templates end conditions to match existing ground in cross sections
I am fairly new with GeoPak Suite V8i and am creating cross sections for my road. My proposed cross section template is creating a new ditch, which is not necessary for most of the road. What I would like to do is match the existing ground wherever my foreslope intersects it. I have tried to modify the end conditions of the template but can not figure out how to do it or how to use the modified template when I run the proposed cross sections. Attached is a typical example.

Secondary Alignment Issues - Corridor Between Two Backbone Surfaces
I have a template which builds a gore area with a V-Ditch / Variable ditch between a loop ramp and mainline highway. The template attaches itself to the edge of pavement of each backbone surface for the mainline and loop ramp and creates a ditch in between them with defined slope values. As the template can only be attributed to one alignment (either the mainline or loop) it attaches itself to the other alignment at a skewed angle (not perpendicular). When cutting cross sections values come out skewed (ie: not exactly 25%/4:1 slopes) due to diverging horizontal/vertical alignments. I am trying to get the template/corridor to turn at the V-ditch or variable ditch feature as a secondary alignment so it attaches to both backbones (loop and mainline) at perpendicular angles. The secondary alignment toggle in point controls does not work because my template is encompassed between two existing surfaces/corridors. This toggle only works when you are building outwards and have something defined to attach to (which is not the case with my V-ditch). I have also been playing with the secondary alignments drop down option from corridor in the roadway modeller. I am able to define a secondary alignment point based on station/offset inputs but it requires iterations and never quite works properly. If anyone could shed some light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks
