    raster scale

    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...

    microstation v8i gis tools

    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...

    global scale factors

    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...

    another v8i problem

    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...

    problem with generate longitudinal feature tool in v8i

    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...

    v8i

    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...

    inroads modeler running slow

    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...

    InRoads Features In Plan View

    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...

    profile offset

    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?

    referencing .dwgs

    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...

    guardrail in shot rock

    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?

    MSE walls

    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?

    interstate/off ramp signing

    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.
