    Moving structures in storm and sanitary

    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...

    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...

    problem with generate longitudinal feature tool in v8i

    The problem was the feature style that was selected. When I changed it to another feature style, it worked just fine. But now I'm having another problem. Name, point type, and point density interval are greyed out. I've never seen this before. Any idea on how to activate those options?

    inroads storm and sanitary

    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?

    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...

    v8i

    I believe the click sensitivity setting worked, i haven't had the problem for the past two days thanks

    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

    assuming accusnap is on, left click and release to start the line, then move the mouse to the next point and left click again. between those separate left clicks, i often get an unwanted vertex...maybe 20% of the time...never had this happen in previous versions. i will try changing the...

    v8i

    it sounds like you are talking about the divisor. i am familiar with that setting but it seems that it would be an issue if i were trying to snap...the problem i'm having is while i'm moving the mouse. I'll successfully snap to a point, then as i'm moving the mouse to the next point, without...

    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 am using a decision table, but I did try running the model "backbone only" before I posted anything on this website. It seemed to run just as slow which really surprised me. I have finished modeling the the project for now unless we have any alignment changes. With the economy being slow, I...

    inroads modeler running slow

    I believe I left the event stations on as I normally do. The dtm is from aerial supplemented by ground survey. The horizontal and vertical geometry was created with the horizontal and vertical curve set tools in inroads.

    inroads modeler running slow

    8.05 service pack 4...I have not moved to the new modeler (8.09?) yet because I'm finishing some old projects
