&lt;p&gt;I am working on the end condition and subgrade components of my template, trying to eliminate the need for end condition exceptions and hand editing of the subgrade in the cross sections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Problem #1:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I have 3 different possible end conditions I want for each side of the road, which I would like to manipulate with parametric constraints. Normally I would handle this with end condition exceptions.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flat Bottom ditch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;V ditch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Straight slope&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My thought was to have a null point trigger. I could add all 3 end conditions into the template with display rules for them to display when the null point trigger is at x offset controlled by a parametric constraint. So I did this and set a parametric constraint on the null point to offset to -5 where I had a display rule for the FB ditch to turn on when null point offset = -5. This didn&amp;#39;t seem to work and no end condition was displayed at all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Problem #2:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I need to model a layer of crushed stone base as well as a layer of rock roadbed beneath.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are 2 conditions for each layer - a normal condition and a superelevated condition. When in normal crown, the subgrade follows the slope of the road. But when superelevated over 0.5%, the subgrade holds slope at 0.5% away from the centerline. This is because I never want the subgrade to slope toward the centerline. I believe I was able to get this to work for the CSB so far by creating the 2 different subgrade conditions as children of each end condition with display rules to display based on the travel lane slope.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;But these components only display properly when they can fully tie into the foreslope. There are conditions where the bottom of subgrade vector offset point goes past the ditch bottom. In these cases, I would want it to stop horizontally and model up to the ditch bottom. To me, this would require yet another component with some sort of null point test potentially?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been spinning my wheels on this all day and starting to think maybe I have overcomplicated it or maybe what I am trying to do is not possible. I prefer to use a single template for the project, as end conditions are not uniform throughout.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anyone has any insight I would be indebted and if anyone could fit in some time, I would love to hop on a Teams meeting to explain further. I have also attached the template below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TIA for any help!&lt;/p&gt;

I have created a terrain for the approach itself and was planning to run linear templates along the EOP to model the end conditions. The issue I am curious about is how the end condition modeling will work at the radii tie in points. The way we lay out radii for entrances and approaches is an arc between the mainline edge of travel way and the approach edge of pavement. The radii then gets clipped at the mainline edge of pavement. This creates a &amp;quot;kink&amp;quot; at the intersection of the approach radii and mainline edge of pavement. See screenshot below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the clipped radii, the transition between mainline and approach edge of pavement is not a smooth curve so I am unsure of how the end conditions will tie into each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a corridor which has a berm and end condition arises from the berm. I had made the end conditions as child component of the Berm. When I apply end condition exception, the end conditions do not respect the parent child relationship. The end condition is displayed even at locations where the berm is turned off. I had also redefined the Parent component in the end condition exception window and the result is the same&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doesn&amp;#39;t open roads consider the parent component which are not defined as end conditions if End condition exception is applied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Can a single alignment have multiple profiles associated with it?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/244768/can-a-single-alignment-have-multiple-profiles-associated-with-it</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 May 2023 20:01:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0ff5ad0f-3ac9-4db4-99e5-a9e7c5f4496b</guid><dc:creator>Aaron Adviento</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have an alignment but the &amp;quot;proposed&amp;quot; roadway work limits do not encompass the entirety of the start and stop work limits.

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m working within the Illinois DOT workspace and I&amp;#39;m trying to figure out how to annotate the end area volumes in cross sections.&amp;nbsp; Cross section models and sheets are already created using named boundaries.&amp;nbsp; I follow the following steps to try to annotate the cross sections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Under OpenRoads Drawing Production workflow-&amp;gt;home tab-&amp;gt;Civil Analysis-&amp;gt;Create cut fill volumes.&amp;nbsp; This creates the cut fill terrain within my model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Under OpenRoads Drawing Production workflow-&amp;gt;home tab-&amp;gt;Civil Analysis-&amp;gt;End Area Volumes Report.&amp;nbsp; This creates the report showing the areas and volumes of my cross sections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;3. Within one of my cross section models,&amp;nbsp;Under OpenRoads Drawing Production workflow-&amp;gt;Drawing Production tab-&amp;gt;Annotate Drawing Model.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;There is an annotation group available called XS EAV Annotation.&amp;nbsp; I pick that and run it for all models.&amp;nbsp; A menu pops up that looks like it is running something, but nothing ever shows up on my cross sections.&amp;nbsp; I found in the cell library that there is a cell for EAV annotation table.&amp;nbsp; I tried placing that in each model thinking it needed to be there for the annotation to populate, and still nothing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The other annotations for the cross sections work fine, just no EAV annotations.&amp;nbsp; Am I forgetting a step?&amp;nbsp; Am I missing something?&amp;nbsp; I have followed videos online and their annotation just appears on the last step.&amp;nbsp; Is it possible something is not set up right in their annotation group?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Feature Definition Toolbar Expanding</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/226253/feature-definition-toolbar-expanding</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Feb 2022 19:26:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:30549d0c-af62-4d91-8ede-7f21860b33ca</guid><dc:creator>Matt Murphy</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I believe I&amp;#39;ve seen a post on here about this, what I would call &amp;quot;mildly infuriating,&amp;quot; bug in ORD. But can&amp;#39;t seem to find it to, so I&amp;#39;ll just go ahead and make a new one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feature definition toolbar expands every time you switch views or models in ORD. The only way to reset it is to restart the program. So, by the end of the day, if I haven&amp;#39;t restarted my feature definition toolbar could be taking up the whole bottom row, pushing my other toolbars up.&lt;/p&gt;

In all 4 cases, the right edge of pavement will remain fixed in space, so the centerline alignments of each would be different. One part of this is earthwork cost so I must create a basic corridor model for each. I am trying to minimize time as much as possible on this and thought instead of creating offset alignments for each and messing with updating the profile, I could just manipulate the templates to offset the grade point automatically. Like the image below. The issue I am having is with superelevation, I haven&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;been able to figure out a way to superelevate around this adjusted grade point rather than the dynamic origin of the template. Does anyone have any tips? Or maybe I&amp;#39;m just better off creating offset alignments, if so, any tips for that? How have you all done these cost evaluations on your projects?
