3 INTRODUCTION This is a workshop to learn the basics of InRoads Survey/PowerSurvey. After this workshop you will know how survey collected in the field turns into data you can use with InRoads. This will give you an introduction on how to use InRoads Survey. You will learn how to reduce raw survey data then review the Survey Styles and Fieldbook. After creating the Fieldbook we will then generate the deliverables needed from survey data: Geometry (alg), Surface (dtm), Design files (dgn) and Drainage files (sdb). In this workshop, the topics covered include Reducing Survey Data Fieldbook Style Manager Fix Errors in Fieldbook Survey Deliverables Geometry Surfaces Design File Drainage File 2008 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 3

4 LESSON NAME: REDUCING SURVEY DATA LESSON OBJECTIVE: In this Lesson you will learn how to Import Survey data and properly prepare the data for Deliverables. > EXERCISE: IMPORTING SURVEY DATA Starting InRoads Survey (PowerSurvey) and Importing Data 1.
