To import roadway
alignment and other civil engineering geometry data from an external file, use
the following procedure.
If you have an external civil geometry file from Bentley
GEOPAK (file extension .gpk ), Bentley InRoads (file extension .alg ), or
LandXML (file extension .xml ), you can import portions or all of the data to
use as the alignment for your tunnel models.
Either:
On the Home ribbon tab, select the
Import > Tunnel Alignment
tool in the
Tunnel Geometry group.
Or
On the
Civil ribbon
tab, select the
Import/Export > Import Geometry tool in
the
General Tools group.
Or
Key in GEOMETRY FILE IMPORT
The Import Geometry dialog opens.
Navigate to and select the civil geometry file you want to import
and then click
Open. The Import Geometry dialog opens. The
geometry database is queried and a checklist displays.
Expand the tree to check the portions of the file you want to
include in the data import. Previously imported elements will show as checked
if the import command is run again.
(Optional) Check the
Create Rules box to apply rules to the
elements as they are imported and are thus editable with manipulators. When the
box is cleared, the elements are imported as plain graphics.
