ORD v10.10.01.03 - Superelevation Diagam Sheets

Joseph Lukovits — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 11:47:01 GMT

Is there a way to make sheets of the Superelevation banking diagrams ONLY?..........No profiles are needed, I do those separately.

From the diagram shown, I need to make sheets and annotate them for the Client. Can ORD Do this?

Thanks,

Modify Horizontal Start Station but Maintain Vertical Stationing

Jack Scudder — Fri, 12 May 2023 20:40:59 GMT

Is there a way to modify my horizontal start station but maintain the vertical stations? I had to tweak the starting station by a small fraction, but as a result, all my VPI's are now carrying that small decimal fraction. I had gone through the effort of making all the VPI's whole numbers so trying to avoid changing them all in Table editor anytime I change the horizontal start by a miniscule amount.

Alternate Bottom Surfaces - Overlay and Stripping Components

Jack Scudder — Mon, 08 May 2023 12:13:12 GMT

Has anyone successfully created a bottom surface from a stripping component? I would like to create a "milled surface" using the bottom of the stripping component representing the milling depth. Entering a value into the Alternate Bottom Surface in the template, running the template and selecting create alternate surfaces doesn't seem to do anything. I recall this was an issue in InRoads and I never figured out a solution.

Dynamic Cross Sections - Advancing through Stations Quicker?

Jack Scudder — Thu, 04 May 2023 22:52:20 GMT

Is there a way or setting to allow clicking and holding the Next Station or Previous Station buttons to more quickly advance through the sections? It seems like you are only allowed to click once and advance one station interval at a time. In InRoads SS2, you could click and hold to zip through the stations quickly. This was useful during design to get a quick idea of problematic areas.

Table Editor - Horizontal Geometry Redefining Bearings Issue

Jack Scudder — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 20:49:00 GMT

I have been struggling to successfully use the table editor to edit my horizontal geometry. For instance, I would like to use the editor to quickly round off the decimals on bearings. When I attempt to do this, the table editor is throwing the ahead tangent lengths to 0 and basically cascades down the rest of the alignment making it useless and forcing me to undo. I'm able to change bearings using the heads up graphical method, but I'd rather be able to use the table. For reference, I've created geometry numerous ways - using individual lines and arcs and complexing, or using complex by PI, complex by element, and I run into the same issue. Is there an obvious solution or flaw to how I'm going about this? I'm using 2021 Release 2.

Horizontal Complex by PI Method - Adding curves to established vertex

Jack Scudder — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 17:05:29 GMT

I have an alignment created using Complex by PI. I have some vertices that I initially created with no curve since the deflection angle was small. However, I needed to move the vertex slightly and want to add in a curve. How do I easily add a curve to this complex element at an already-established PI? I don't want to insert a fillet because I already have a vertex where I need it. I think I am missing something simple.

Thanks

OpenRoads Designer - Working Cross Section Set

JustinGuiliano — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 18:02:30 GMT

Has anyone come up with an efficient way to compile a single DGN file with cross sections in OpenRoads Designer? Currently, we are referencing all of the XS models into a nested compiled file, which is tedious and inefficient. I submitted a product enhancement request for this (option working sections similar to an SS2/SS4 XS set and option to created single DGN XS sheets) but I was wondering if anyone has a work around until (if) they get to this? Running ORD release 3 (10.05.00.30).

Thanks,

Justin
