whenever I try to move a structure in inroads storm and sanitary, microstation locks up and i have to cntrl-alt-del to kill it. has anyone had this problem? it has surfaced every time I have used storm and sanitary on multiple machines ever since I started running ss1. I am now running ss2...
When I use raster manager to bring in a photo with a world file with english units, Microstation is applying a scale factor as if the photo was metric. When this happens with a reference file, my fix is to turn true scale off and reset the reference scale to 1:1. I have not been able to find a...
I recently used v8i to reference gis shape files and it worked well but I had one problem. Some of the data was on a different coordinate system and had to be reprojected the the coordinate system of the master file. It came in correct, but when I closed the file and opened it later, the data...
In past versions of inroads, i've used global scale factors to set the scale of stationing and alignment annotation. Since i've started using SS1, the global scale factor no longer has any bearing on the view geometry tools. Am I missing a toggle somewhere or is there a new way to change the...
when moving a structure in storm and sanitary, everything locks ups after i accept the move. i can no longer use any microstation or inroads commands...i have to use task manager to shut it down and restart the program. this is every time i move a structure. any ideas?
several of my coworkers and I have had the following problem: we will inadvertantly drag (i assume this is how it happens) the inroads box off of the screen and not be able to retrieve it. in past versions, we could change the resolution to the lowest setting and then change it back to bring...
i am in the process of modeling a roundabout in inroads v8i ss1
I started with a circle (the inscribed diameter) that I draped over a surface. I then wanted to create an inner circle offset 30 ft and at a 2% slope. I used the generate longitudinal feature tool with the horizontal defined by...
I just switched from v8 2004 to v8i and I am having problems with unwanted vertices. Whether I'm drawing a line or arc or measuring, I often get an unwanted vertex between my first and second snap points. After I make the first snap and move the mouse toward the second snap point, I will get...
I've been using inroads for several years and can't figure out why the modeler is running so slow on a particular project. I've set it to drop a template every 10 feet as I normally do...is there some other hidden setting that would cause the modeler to get bogged down? I've even tried...
I am displaying features from an inroads surface (surface>view surface>features) in a microstation v8 file. When I snap to the graphics, the elevations are completely wrong, however after viewing the surface in cross sections, it appears correct. What would cause the graphics in plan view to...
We are working on a maintenance of traffic scheme for a 2 lane rural road that will be widened to a 5 lane urban road. We have 60" and 72" culverts that must be constructed through an existing embankment and under the proposed widened embankment while maintaining traffic.
My question is...
I have a profile in inroads and I am going from the centerline of one template to the baseline of a template for a divided highway. I need a account for the shift in elevation in the middle of a vertical curve. Not sure how to do this in inroads. Any ideas?
whenever I reference a .dwg into V8, microstation always "assumes" the .dwg is metric. In order to get the file to the correct coordinates, I have to turn true scale off and reset the reference scale factor to 1:1. Is there a way to reset microstation so that it opens a dialog box asking for...
Does anyone have a detail for placing guardrail in shot rock fill? I would like to place a section of pipe for each post before the fill is completed, and then secure the posts in the pipe with concrete. Is this commonly done with shot rock?
When ending an MSE wall and continuing into a fillslope, is there a maximum height that you can end that wall at? More specifically, do I need to extend the wall until it drops to some majic height before I can stop the wall and start my fill slope?
Is there a minimum distance between guide signs on an off ramp that splits beyond the mainline. I have found suggested spacing for mainline signing in the MUTCD, but nothing that suggests minimum spacing with respect to speed.
