Workspace/Workset Set Up

Nate Bowman — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 16:42:21 GMT

My company is in the preliminary stages of incorporating Open Rail for future projects. I am trying to learn the basics of setting up a workspace and a workset that we can use once the projects start. We will not be using ProjectWise. I've found some information on this site explaining the function of the workspace/workset, but I have not been able to find detailed info on the process of setting it up. I need to be able to drop in the cell libraries, level libraries etc. so when the designers begin working with this software they have what they need. Does Bentley's training information cover this in detail, if so where can I find this. If not what would be my best option to learn how this works.

InRoads SS2 vs SS4 usre opinions

We currently utilize InRoads SS2 for our design work (about 15 years experience with various versions), and have investigated moving up to SS4. Our work consists almost entirely of site grading: yard grading, parking lots, stockpiles, basins and layered closure caps. We rarely design very simple roads, but often utilize the roadway tools to design drainage channels which occasionally have varying cross sections, nor do we utilize features very heavily.

In my (limited) investigation, the OpenRoads paradigm appears to be geared more to road design, and site work doesn't appear to be as straight forward as SS2. The one thing (I think) I really like about SS4 is the fact that data is stored in the design file.

I would appreciate opinions and discussion from those who have used both products to help in our decision process.

Thanks in advance.
