  • [ORD] Power platform/MicroStation help?

  • RE: Report the crossfall, distance etc. between 2 linear elements

    I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to but there is a "Slope" and a "Slope to Snap" field in the dialog box. The "slope" refers to the longitudinal slope along the element you are analysing. The "slope to snap" refers to the cross slope between…
  • RE: [ORD] DU 2D Cell Orientation Questions

    For recent versions of the software, ORD provides an option allowing you to have the cross slope for inlets be extracted from the active terrain. If you are using this option, then for roadway inlets it does matter which direction the line is drawn. You…
  • RE: [ORD] DU 2D Cell Orientation Questions

    The only thing that technically matters is that the alignment lines (the red line you mention) is consistent between the top, bottom and plan cells. It technically does not matter if these lines point left right up or down. BUT-as you have found. It…

    Chuck: To answer your inquiry, no, the end section nodes do not update (nor do any nodes). Best Regards, Mark
  • Drainage: confirming that 2D Pipes' exterior wall lines aren't a thing yet?

    other than pipe size-specific linestyles, we don't have two or three lines in 2D for pipes yet, right?

    after DAYS & DAYS & DAYS of trying to get Managed ORD workspaces on our ProjectWise server, I've done it. * But, not without scanning and re-scanning and re-reading and re-watching and re-visiting those posts and videos on this site. And I'm thanking…
  • Idea- Make Geometry builder edit act the same as Inroads check integrity

    I missed check integrity from Inroads a lot, I have started playing with the geometry builder edit and there is a lot of potential for this tools, we could almost make it work like the check integrity from Inroads. Why not adapt it?

  • OpenSite Designer - Landscaping Features?

    This month's SIG was very interesting. Echoing this post , I wonder OpenSite Designer might not pave the way for a landscape architecture BIM app. A lot of the elements are there for a unique offering, especially as Vue Render is being integrated into…
  • RE: Templates - Ditch Modeling With a Set Depth and Width From Backslope

    Work backwards. Since the location of the ditch relies on the location of the catch point (or daylight point), find that point first. Create some null points that mimic the geometry of your ditch, starting at the hinge point or somewhere along the fill…
