Bentley Civil Content for Visualisation

Joe Waxmonsky — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 15:01:39 GMT

I figure since we are approaching a long weekend(At least in the US). I would like to bring to your attention that we recently posted on SELECT Downloads, Civil Content for Visualisation 08.11.07.05. This is a free download that contains a variety of 3D cells libraries. There are cells for light posts, traffic poles, street furniture, and other traffic control devices.

This will compliment the content that MicroStation provides, like the Audi shown above.

It can be found on SELECT Downloads by setting the following categories:

Product: All

Product line: Content

Release language: English

Download category: Enhancements and Updates

Files posted with last: All

I hope that these cells will be helpful to add depth to your OpenRoads models, and also provide a little fun while dressing up your designs.

Im trying to use the various Thematic display styles in ORD 2020 r2,

But independent of which stlye i chose i get an output like that

what am i missing?

Corridor processing speed

Andrei Chiriac — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 09:05:20 GMT

Hi,

I have a very long corridor (aprox 18km) where I am trying to model some fill around some tunnel elements. For that I am using parametric constraints and key stations so I can keep my number of templates to a minimum and the template drops the same.

But lately I have noticed that my model is painfully slow. If I am trying to draw some civil geometry like a simple line, it takes around 1-2min to process and it's just a simple line. Also when I change the stationing for a template drop or do a new one it takes a long amount of time.

To be fair so far I have 154 key stations, 36 template drops and 200 parameters and I am only at a quarter along the alignment.

So are there any settings to sped up the model? I am using OpenRoads CE 2020 R3. Thank you.

Import Corridor Key Station

Is there a way to import a list of Key Stations into a Corridor? I am using SS10.

Color Coded Elevations Export

Andrei Chiriac — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 08:57:29 GMT

Hi,

I asked before if it is possible to create color coded elevation in ORD. It was suggested to use the Display Style as Thematic.Height, which works quite good, but in PowerCivil I was also able to export the file as a dwg. I wonder if there is another workaround this.

Thank you

Isopach Surface in OpenRoads Designer

Greetings,

How we can assign different colors to isopach surface and save the color file like in Inroads SS2.

Thanks

Not able to add Matchlines as Corridor Reference

Jeff Purl — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 13:08:47 GMT

Has anyone had a case where they Matchlines won't add to corridor reference to clip out for intersections? I can select them and reset to continue, but it doesn't rebuild or add to the corridor. I've deleted the matchlines and made new ones, I deleted ALL the corridor references and added them again and these in particular won't add. They're in the same template drop where a matchline right next to it is working...

I did have these intersections as civil cells and clipped the corridor (and since hand built the intersections and deleted the clipping) but not sure if this affects it in any way.

Also my corridor and intersections are in separate files, again not sure if it affects anything.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

ConceptStation to OpenRoads to Rhino - Issue with Mesh, Extended Elements, and 3D aspect

Brandy — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 19:06:18 GMT

Hello,

First, I essentially have the same problem as described in this person's post and would really like to get an answer.

https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/196435/conceptstation-to-openroads-designer---sight-visibility-tools-workflow#

I am trying to export my file from OpenRoads to Rhino but everytime we try, the 3D elements are not correctly exported. The file becomes 2-D. We have tried various types of files type, converting to b-spline surface, and all doesn't work. The issue seems to be that when we export from ConceptStation, everything gets converted to extended elements. We turned everything into mesh itself, and tried to convert the mesh to a solid and volume, but nothing work. Has anyone else encountered this problem and how did you solve it?

Parametric constraints / transition

Andrei Chiriac — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 11:20:28 GMT

Hi,

I am working on a trench model where I need to have some extra widenings. For that I have been using parametric constraints and they work just fine except in one place where it seems like ORD just ignores them and does it's own thing. I am asking what might be the issues since I need to export coordinate point for the trench bottom and I need it to be accurate.

For a better explanation I attached a screenshot with my issue.

Thank you very much

Add properties to components

Andrei Chiriac — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 09:12:32 GMT

Hi,

The client I am working for has requested to add some new properties / user defined attributes to the components in the model. I have a cut and fill model for a tunnel and I need to add different sets of properties such as material, grading etc.

Is there a way of doing this? So basically when I select a component in the 3D model, under Properties I have a new tab with values that I assign.

Thank you very much.

ORD IFC export settings

Andrei Chiriac — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 10:42:06 GMT

Hi,

I can not find anywhere IFC export settings in OpenRoads Designer. Is there something for this?

Regards,

Civilcell creation error

Andrei Chiriac — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 13:39:02 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a civilcell from a liniar template, but i keep getting the following error: 'Invalid civilcell. It doesen't contain embedded element'.

What would be the cause?

Thank you

Profile Frame Annotation

Stewart Hellen — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:32:37 GMT

I'm creating an annotation group for a profile frame, but the title box is far too wide. How can I control the width of the title box?

Transition problems

Andrei Chiriac — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:15:05 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to do a transition between 2 templates and my problem is that the cut is not done correctly along the transition. Also a small area has its feature definition changed. Also I don't understand why I am editing the transition some points are connected in such way that is doesn't make any sense. The points that define my components are named differently for each template. Thank you for your help.

Profile Drawings Horizontal Geometry

Andrei Chiriac — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 07:41:04 GMT

Hi,

I am working with 2 alignments - one for rail and one for road and I am trying to setup the Frame Annotation so that it shows the both alignments (vertical and horizontal) geometry. I know if you have multiple profiles you can add aliases, but is there something similar for the vertical and horizontal geometry in one go. An option would be to create separate drawings and then reference them so I get the end result, but I am hoping to a more elegant solution.

Thank you
