ORD Update 2 Slope indicators/tad poles

Adam Wieczorek — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 20:40:50 GMT

The What's New section states that there is an enhancement for drawing production to draw slope indicators/tad poles?

I am digging for that tool in the Ribbon, Toll Boxes and can not find it. How to access this tools? Is it a feature definitione/symbology setting?

Must say that I was waiting for this tool for a while.

thanks in advance

How to design a roundabout in Openroads

Stephen Guile — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 15:30:58 GMT

There does not seem to be a tool to create a roundabout. Can I treat the central roundabout as a circular road with multiple junctions.

Pivot Method for Depressed Median with cross slope outwards

Ashok Kumar — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 16:01:43 GMT

Hello Friends,

Need help in figuring out the Pivot method for 4Lane/6Lane or 8Lane Carriageway with depressed median having cross slope (Normal Camber) outward from the depressed median (refer the attached image)

I tried 'Divided Inside' as well as 'Centerline', both gave a wrong superelevations.

As per the Design the Curve Radius is 2600m with 100kmph Design Speed, So no SE. The LHS Curve showing unidirectional slope of 2.5% towards RHS. SE Color is Yellow on both sides.

The RHS Curve showing unidirectional slope of 2.5% towards LHS. SE Color is Green on both sides.

Note: 1. The SE flags were all in place, since the Depressed median template was modified from the India kit.

2. When I tried undivided carriageway with Pivot Method as 'Crown' the SE were correct. So I guess the Pivot method is something I need to check.

Hi I hope I get a detail reply on this.

What is Nested Attachment ? What is Live Nesting, Nesting Depth ? When it should be done ?

I have been using "Coincident World" as attachment Method all the time. How is Nested attachment different from Nested attachment ?

Wrong signs for Cross Slope/Camber in template

Ashok Kumar — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 10:21:23 GMT

Attached are a 4 Lane divided carriageway (with Depressed Median) Template from Indian Template set. Referring the attached images, the Cross slope (Camber) is a for LHS is shown as +2.5% from Left Median edge whereas the Cross slope for RHS is mentioned as -2.5% from RME. Cross Slopes are generally negative slope (-2.5%), why is it showing differently ? I feel ORD is taking slope from left to right side and not from center/median edges. Since this is different, the Superelevation schematic is represented as -2.5 % and + 2.5%, which is not correct. Wonder if there is any setting that need to be corrected for this.
