Generate transverse feature - OpenRoads equivalent

Jason Yetman — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 13:53:33 GMT

I'm transitioning from InRoads to OpenRoads and I can't seem to find the equivalent command for Generate Transverse Feature (slope lines).

Is this feature available in OpenRoads and if so, can someone please point me in the direction of where it can be found?

Thanks!!

Place Label in Rotated View? ORD

Zane Pratt — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 16:15:00 GMT

In OpenRoads Designer, is there a setting to allow labels to be placed relative to the current view? Similar to how dimensions and notes have always worked in Microstation.

I am trying to place a label (station, offset) in a design model with the view rotated parallel to the alignment.

Is there a way for openroads connect edition to calculate the average slope of a terrain model within a drainage area?

Driveway Design Workflow

Ross Helliker — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 22:45:21 GMT

It seems, from the training videos I've seen, that the proper workflow for designing driveways (non-corridor) is as follows:

Create horizontal and vertical for driveway CL/BL
Create geometry offsets for driveway edges of pavement.
Create arc's between elements for driveway returns.
Apply variable slope vertical to offset element from CL
Use quick profile transition for returns
Highlight these features and use them to create a terrain
Apply surface template to terrain
Apply linear template to driveway EOP

I understand all that, but when trying to then combine the terrain for the pavement and the linear templates (using the add feature tool), ORD applies the surface template to the end conditions as well. What am I missing here? Is there a more efficient/direct way to model the driveways and the warping?

Thanks!

Open Multiple Application Windows

Ross Helliker — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 15:05:17 GMT

I am trying to use the Open Multiple Application Windows in my setup (OpenRoads Designer). It is opening another window, but it's completely empty, no ribbon or anything, just grey. The help section says: "If on, you can move the view windows between different screens, by selecting Change Screen from the view window's control menu." but I can't seem to find the "view window's control menu". Is that supposed to be the toolbar at the top of the view window? If so, I don't see a button for "Change Screen".
