Watershed Delineation

Is there an Application Add-In that will allow a user to automatically delineate a watershed in OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition?

Openroads designer SUDA Longitudinal Slope on an Inlet

Wyatt Martin — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 20:01:26 GMT

In openroads designer SUDA it won't allow me to change the longitudinal slope on an inlet. If it were reading from the terrain file it still wouldn't be close to the slope it's currently at. Does anyone know where this is pulling from or how I can change it manually?

Profile Run displayed in Sheet model

Chase Barbarick — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 14:33:18 GMT

Hello when I create a profile run in ORD of my drainage network it creates a line with a feature definition in plan view. When I go to create cross section of that network using the named boundary tool that same profile run line shows up in my sheet and drawing model. For it not to display in my prints I have to turn off the level. Is there a better workflow for this? Maybe a toggle that deactivates that line work in the sheet and drawing models in preferences. To me it seems like this profile run line is a little redundant.

Show Gutter Flow Tool Information

Chase Barbarick — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:26:27 GMT

I am having issues using the Show Gutter Flow tool in ORD R1 2020 (10.08.00.xx). I recently watched the update video Jonathan Smith had done and several options that he has selected are not available. For example once he selects the place gutter tool we both are able to select the Using Trace Slope method but his feature definition is From Terrain and mine is only seeing the gutters that I have in my catalog.

The reason that is so is because I am unable to change my Type from Gutter Catalog to Use Gutter Sections. When I try to Build Gutter Sections in the Gutter Sections in the gutter properties it says...

If someone knows how to successfully get the Show Gutter Flow tool to work please let me know.

Thanks

Node (Inlet) Minimum Depth

Chase Barbarick — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:48:49 GMT

I am running SUDA (Power Geopak SS4) and need to design an inlet that has a depth of 2 ft. Right now the inlet when placed defaults to like 2.75 ft. and we can't change it to be anything less. Is there something we are missing in the set up of the Node to be able to change that depth to something less?

[ORD R2] Doubling corridor elements

Krzysztof Jedrych — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 09:27:24 GMT

Hi,

there is an ORD's problem which I cannot solve for a very long time and since I did not get any response from Bentley on my SR the Communties is my last chance. I implemented ORD in quite a big project (12km of expressway) so we have plenty of road models. Most of them after reproccessing the corridor leave old elements. Sometimes these are lines, sometimes mesh components and sometimes everything. It's very annoying because I cannot find the reason for this and almost everytime it's something different. I thought that maybe clipping elements mess with corridor functionality (they do but in a different way), but after few tests I have excluded them as a reason of doubling corridor elements. Our team is terribly frustrated of losing precious time because most of the times the only solution is to make a new clean, file, which will be infected after few weeks or even days.

Is there anyone who had similar issues or knows something about this defect? I would be grateful for any reponse.

Regards

Krzysztof Jędrych

Nodes in Hydraulic Profiles

Chase Barbarick — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 18:15:34 GMT

I am working in SUE in ORD R2. Is there a way to get the hydraulic profiles for nodes in a network? I am using a generic node that is being modeled as a wing wall for a box culvert. Also there is a width that is missing in the profile that occurs at the node, is there a way to decrease that width to more accurately represent the network?

Unremovable mesh

Chase Barbarick — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 20:23:17 GMT

I am working in SUE with ORD R2 and have notice that when I alter a channel using parametric constraints and point controls it creates a mesh or another corridor that resembles the last version of drawing before I altered it. I am wanting to delete the mesh but I am unable to with both the tool bar or the properties. It acts as if its apart of the 3D model. Has this been an issue for anyone else? How can I get this removed?

Node Placement relative to terrain model

Chase Barbarick — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 13:58:28 GMT

I have been testing the functionality of ORD R2 and have found that when you place a node relative to the terrain model it follows that terrain like it should. When place the pipe in between nodes everything looks fine until I go to move one of the nodes then it seem to lock the elevation at what it was first positioned at and does not follow the terrain model to the new location. This causes the end of the pipe to either be recessed in the terrain model (under ground) or projected out of the terrain model. Has anyone come across this? As of now I am using just a generic node to make the pipe connections.

Exporting and Importing a Drainage Project

Chase Barbarick — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:43:47 GMT

I am currently using Power GEOPAK SS4 with a StormCAD license and I having trouble exporting a drainage project and importing it into a new file to continue the drainage work. Every method that I have used will forget the feature definition that I had assigned to all pipes and nodes and put the Bentley's generic features in the drawing. Is there any workflow that will keep me form having to change the feature definition back to what I had it in the previous file?

Gutter Type for 4 way Area Inlet

Chase Barbarick — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 18:57:08 GMT

Hello I am trying to model a 4 way area inlet like the one pictured below. These are used in sag locations maybe in medians or ditches. I found that I was unable to use a trapezoidal gutter section to model this curb type inlet. If I cant use a trapezoidal gutter shape to model the inlet in ditch or a median what would be the best approach to modeling something like this?

Structure Type, Length, Width (SUDA)

Chase Barbarick — Thu, 16 May 2019 16:16:40 GMT

I have been wondering if the Structure Type, Length, and Width in the Utility Properties has anything to do with the hydraulics of an inlet. I am using SUDA in Power GEOPAK SS4. I have been changing the numbers and it doesn't seem to change the hydraulic results. What do these properties do?

Curb and Gutter

Chase Barbarick — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 15:24:16 GMT

I am trying to model bypass flow from an inlet running down a gutter section and discharging into the ditch. I have to have a node feature that is considered an inlet to place a gutter from the upstream inlet that water will bypass from to the this specific location. What is the best workflow to do this? I have even been changing the Unlet type to Percent Capture, Full Capture, or even Catalog Inlet but there seems to be different results in the flextables for the gutter. Has anyone run into this scenario?

Thanks
