Ajustes para exportar a dwg las secciones transversales de ORD 2021 Release2

Manuel Soriano — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 02:32:50 GMT

Realmente es increíble que desde ORD sea una odisea poder exportar secciones transversales a dwg desde ORD, hay un sin fin de post al respecto pero cada vez que cambiamos de versión lo que antes funcionaba ahora no.

Alguien sabe los ajustes para que funcione bien en ORD 2021 release 2?

Key Station

Ramanan R — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 17:18:01 GMT

Hi,

I am new to openroads desginer. I have been working with Inroads SS10 and SS2 earlier.

A variation i noticed in ORD , point control start and end chainages do not add additional drop points to the corridor. Key stations have to be added.

I am stuck with Linear template. There is no option to add additional point / Key stations. Due to template not dropped at the point control start end locations the model does not look complete. Gaps are formed.

How do i add key stations to Linear template or add Event point to the alignment.

I am using Openroads 2020 release 2

Thanks in advance.

What would be the most influential part of the computer for a good performance of Openroads.
Any tips for a good computer for Openroads performance.
thanks

ORD DWG Export Workflows

Mark Shamoun — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:04:41 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up some standard ORD DWG export processes for my organization and have only found a few methods to get the outputs I require without issues that require extensive post-processing to be good enough for delivery. Plan exports are a bit convoluted to get past the issue of elements exporting with no symbology after splitting strings with gaps during export, but it gets us close to what we want - unfortunately many issues regarding annotation values changing on export. Ideally i'd love us to be using Microstation to take advantage of the native dynamics, but unfortunately our market is primarily AutoCAD for drafting.

Here's what i've come up with so far using ORD 2018 R3;

*UPDATE* - A few improvements in ORD 2018 R4 meaning less custom processes

*UPDATE* - More improvements in ORD 2021 R1 and R2

2D Alignment Plan export with Annotation - process required to export chainage annotation:

Steps:

1. Open new DGN using 2D seed

2. Reference in Default model with no nesting

3. Turn off display of unnecessary levels

4. Create Fence around data

5. Deactivate Auto Field Update using "EXPAND SET MS_AUTO_UPDATE_FIELDS = NEVER" keyin

6. Use Fence to File command to copy contents to new DGN

7. Open New DGN

8. Select all Annotation Cells (named "DrawTextAnnotation") and drop

9. Select all Text Nodes and drop (this seems to allow correct export of field values)

10. Export to DWG

11. Reactivate Auto Field Update using "EXPAND SET MS_AUTO_UPDATE_FIELDS = ALWAYS" keyin

Note: You can start the process from your live DGN Default (2D) model and skip points 1 and 2 if you don't mind changing many level display settings in your live file. We keep a DGN saved for export levels already preset.

3D DWG Plan export - process required when model includes string gaps and clipping, etc.: Normal DWG export is now resolved, although this process gives a cleaner result (WYSIWYG)

Steps:

1. Open new DGN using 3D seed (or 2D for flattened DWG)

2. Reference in Default-3D model with no nesting

3. Turn off display of unnecessary levels

4. Create Fence around data

5. Use Fence to File command to copy contents to new DGN

6. Open New DGN

4. Select all Complex Chains and drop (required to avoid dropped chains being put on layer 0 by default)

5. Export to DWG

Note: If you want a 3d DWG and don't mind changing many level display settings in your live file, you can start the process from your live DGN Default-3D model and skip points 1 and 2. We keep a DGN saved for export levels already preset.

Cross section DWG export :

*Required DWG Export options:

References > External Attachments: Merge or Merge to Cell (required to get sheet borders to export) - RESULTS IN AN EXPORT ERROR IF 2D/3D models included in dwg export model filter
References > Non-Default Models Attachments: Merge or Merge to Cell (required to get sheets to export with cross section drawing attachments)
References > Merge Visible Edges of 3D Attachments: ENABLED (required to avoid error exporting cross section drawings)
References > Merge Viewport Attachments: ENABLED (to avoid an export error if 2D/3D models included in dwg export model filter)

Note: MS_REF_VISEDGE_ATTACH_STATE = CachedAutomatic config variable doesn't seem to be required anymore - correct me if im wrong?

Issues:

First cross section model exported has missing design elements - does this happen to anyone else?
Any Linear Annotation point name annotation is exported as "NONE"
Point name annotation is exported as "NONE" for all points when you choose to export cross sections to external/new DGNs from the Create Drawings dialog
Can take a long time to export for large models (specifically the "Merging Reference file to Model" process) Resolved in 2021 R2 (much faster model merge speed)

Profile DWG export:

*Required DWG Export options:

References > External Attachments: Merge or Merge to Cell (required to get sheet borders to export) - RESULTS IN AN EXPORT ERROR IF 2D/3D models included in dwg export model filter
References > Self-Attachments: Merge (to get profile and profile annotation to export)
References > Non-Default Models Attachments: Merge or Merge to Cell (required to get sheets to export with profile drawing attachments)

Issues:

3D Cut elements are not exported - 3D Cut reference requires Merge to Master in Profile view to export (becomes static CAD lines)
Profile Geometry Annotation lose values in export, eg. grade and K-value change to 0.00 in Drawing Models only (okay for Sheet Models)
Lines are exported between Profile IPs on Layer 0

Regards,

Mark

Export Open roads file to AutoCAD

Shanas Kunjumon — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 05:16:10 GMT

Since our client demanding AutoCAD out put files, I was trying to export cross section and profiles to AutoCAD from Openrads. I tried all possible ways but could not get a proper output. You guys have an idea Is it possible or any proper way which I have not tried. I have asked this question to some of Bentley guys unfortunately they could not comeback with a solution. If it is not possible, then there is no use for me to use Openroads software and go back to PowerInroads which does quite good.

unsuitable terrain ORD2

Stomik — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 11:21:20 GMT

Good morning,

I am working with ORD2 . the option of END AREA VOLUMES dosen’t exist in ORD2 so is not possible like in version SS4

I try to do a cross section, using overlay_stripping options, to simulate this type of cubing, in which I have to differentiate what is the unsuitable matertial of the cut and the embankment, to then add it or subtract it from the cut _volume or fill_volume

This is a basic example of what I want to do, in which, you can see the diference between the two types of terrain unsuitable

The problem is that the cut point from one land to the other would have to look for the intersection between the cut and the fill, as in this example:

I have tried with a null point, that intersects with the Surface and that the components of the unsuitable terrain follow this point but there is always some moment that the null poin escapes the scope of the type section.

Constraints of null point:

For instance

Here is working very well

And here is not working

If this worked, I would get a list of cubic with the different unsuitable material of cut and fill, and only have to add or subtract it according to the case.

You have some suggestion, or I'm complicating myself a lot and there are much easier options.

I am waiting for your reply.

Regards.
