Import InRoads Files (.asc, .soe)
Import Bentley® InRoads® files to bring alignment (HAL), profile (VAL), and cross-section data into your project. Generally, this data comes as a set of independent, but related files.
Note: Each set of related files should be imported at the same time so they are co-related. HAL files can be imported independent of their related VAL and cross-section files, but VAL and cross-section files must be imported concurrently with HAL files to display properly.

Data in the file |
How the imported data is handled |
|
HAL file (.asc) |
|
| Station Easting coordinate Northing coordinate Azimuth Type Radius Length |
The first station and its easting and northing coordinates, along with azimuths, types (line and arc), radii, and lengths for each segment, are used to form a segment-based horizontal alignment. |
|
VAL file (.asc) |
|
| Type Station Elevation Curve length |
Types (line), stations, elevations, and curve lengths are used to form a PI-based vertical alignment for the HAL. |
|
Cross-section file (.soe) |
|
| Station Offset Elevation |
Station, offsets, and elevations are used to form cross-sections along the HAL. |
