[ORD] Template problem - point loses its constraints in the model

Monika Olszewska — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 18:03:57 GMT

Hi,

In my template point B has horizontal and vertical constraints to point A. I tested all point controls in Create Template window and everything was fine. In template window it looks like this:

In the corridor to the point A are applied horizontal and verical (superelevation) point controls. The problem with the model appears after applying both point controls to point A. In the cross section view (picture below) point A is created correctly, but the point B is not below but above point A and component is not drawn correctly.

It looks like point B lost some constraints. When I chcecked the cross section in the Edit Station everything was fine, point B was constrained and components were correct. This is how it looks in Edit Station window:

The same happened when I applied Parametric Constraint to point A instead of horizontal point control.

I've run of ideas how to fix this. Should I change types of constraints in point A or maybe B? Does the order of constraints in point matter? Why cross section looks different in cross section and edit station view? If my description of this problem is not clear I will be happy to explain it more.

I am using OpenRoads Designer R2 U8 version 10.08.01.33

[ORD 2020 R1 U8] Point control and name overrides problem after update to 2020

Monika Olszewska — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 12:36:52 GMT

I applied point control to the edge of shoulder. It worked fine until last update to 2020 version. After update my model lost these point controls because other point in the template had name override set to the same name as the point to which point control was applied.

The point to which the point control was applied has the following properties:

Point with name overrides has the following properties. When I turned off Use Feature Name Override here, the point control started to work.

Does anybody have the same problem?

Dynamic Cross Section Issue

Martin Gaudreau — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 15:49:07 GMT

Hi evryone,

I am working with OpenRoadsDesigner 2019 Release 1 and i have some issues with dynamic cross section command. I am working with a corridor for a while and for a reason i dont know, it is now imposible to view the dynamic cross section (existing ground and design). Here is what i see when trying to show dynamic cross sections.

Anybody had this problem before ?

Thanks

[ORD 2019 R2] Modifying horizontal complex without loosing vertical alingment

Monika Olszewska — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 12:39:38 GMT

I've created horizontal geometry by using "Line Between Points" and placing arcs using "Arc Between Elements" tools. It looks like this:

It's a complex element with vertical alingment and many referenced elements, so I really don't want to drop this complex.

Now I need to rotate one line that it will behave like "Line To Element" ruled line. In other words: I want to rotate the tangent so that arc will extend and won't move.

The problem is that the line was defined as "Line Between Points" and it only rotates about these points. Is there a way change constraints of element in ORD?

Sorry if my question is silly, but I feel that I'm missing something simple as it was very easy thing to do in SS2.

Regards

Monika

[ORD 2019 R2] Parabola sight distance

Monika Olszewska — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 07:08:28 GMT

I've got some questions regarding one of the fields used to annotate profile called Parabola Singht Distance.

How it is computed? There are some default eye and object heights used to calculate this? Even when I changed configuration variables regarding eye and object height:

CIVIL_ANNOTATION_SIGHTDISTANCE_EYEHEIGHT
CIVIL_ANNOTATION_SIGHTDISTANCE_OBJECTHEIGHT

I still got different results than using InRoads. Does it use different formula than InRoads? Is there a simplier way to change eye and object height than using configuration variables?
