Applies To Product(s): Bentley SewerCAD, Bentley SewerGEMS, Bentley PondPack, Bentley CivilStorm, Bentley StormCAD Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX Environment: N\A Area: Other Subarea: N\A Original Author: Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem Description Can the Hydraulics and Hydrology storm and sewer products run inside with Power GEOPAK or Power InRoads, so they can be used within the platform like they can with Microstation? Solution Yes, the hydraulics and hydrology storm and sewer products can run inside Power GEOPAK and Power InRoads on an identical Microstation platform. While the Microstation integration will not be automatically installed you can use these directions that explain how to load the hydraulics and hydrology products within a customized Microstation workspace. Alternatively, the following steps can be used. These steps assume the user has Power GEOPAK and StormCAD installed, but can be applied to the other hydraulics and hydrology products as well. It would help to make sure that you have the folder options for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" and "Hide extensions for known file types" are set as shown below. These are both located on the View tab and you can access the "Folder Options" by going to your Start button > Control Panel. 1. Copy “StormCAD.cfg” file from StormCAD installation location (e.g default: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\StormCAD8\”) to following Power GeoPAK installation subdirectory: "C:\ Program Files (x86) \Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i \PowerGEOPAK\config\appl\" 2. Copy “StormCAD.ucf” file from StormCAD installation location shown in step 1 to the following PowerGEOPAK Workspace\User location: "C:\ ProgramData \Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i (SS version)\WorkSpace\Users" 3. Copy “StormCAD.pcf” file from StormCAD installation location shown in step1 to the following PowerGEOPAK Workspace\Project\Examples location: "C:\ ProgramData \Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i (SS version)\WorkSpace\Projects\Examples\" 4. (Optional) To create a shortcut of Power GEOPak on desktop that will by select the “StormCAD” workspace user file by default: a. Right-click to Desktop and select New > Shortcut. b. Browse and select PowerGeoPak.exe i.e ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i (SS version)\PowerGEOPAK\PowerGEOPAK.exe") and click Next c. Enter ShortcutName something like “StormCAD for PowerGEOPAK” and click finish. d. Open the properties of newly created icon and under “Shortcut” tab, add “-wuStormCAD” at the end of “Target” and click OK. The Target file path should now look as follows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i (SELECTSeries 4)\PowerGEOPAK\PowerGEOPAK.exe" –wuStormCAD When you run GeoPak from the new Shortcut, notice it has automatically selected “StormCAD” as a User and Project, which will start StormCAD in GEOPAK. If the user wants to use their own Project file, they can still enable the StormCAD integration by following additional Step: 1. Open “StormCAD.pcf” in notepad that we have copied above in step 3. 2. Select and copy line 15-20, so shown below: #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Additional setup when running in MicroStation environment #---------------------------------------------------------------------- %if exists ($(MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR)config/appl/stormcad.cfg) %include $(MS_STORMCAD_ROOTDIR)config/appl/stormcad.cfg %endif 3. Open the Project file in notepad that user want to use, i.e, let suppose user want to use StormCAD in “untitled” project configuration file, such as C:\ ProgramData \Bentley\PowerGEOPAK V8i \WorkSpace\Projects\untitled.pcf 4. At the end of the file Paste the lines copied in Step 1. 5. Add a blank line at the end of the file (after the pasted lines). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Now, when the user will start PowerGEOPAK with untitled project configuration, the StormCAD integration will be enabled. NOTE: Full and complete integration will be available starting with OpenRoads V8i Select Series 4, Maintenance Release 1 and will include the functionality of all the hydraulics and hydrology products installed with OpenRoads. StormCAD for up to 100 inlets, is included at no extra cost for the license and the functionality of CivilStorm, SewerCAD, and SewerGEMS are available with one click, which activates these higher level license.
