ORD : THIN TERRAIN MESH

Martin Koekemoer — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 14:42:37 GMT

I have an ORD terrain mesh that is 800Mb. What tools can be used in ORD to reduce the file size?

I Geopak in the old days there were tools to thin TIN files?

I undestand that the accuracy of the terrain mesh will decrease but that is not an issue.

Openroads designer: Combine two or more terrain models to get the lowest elevations of the combined two surfaces

Klaus Thystrup — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 08:04:15 GMT

Hi,

I wish to merge two or more surfaces / terrain models(excavation models), so i end up with the complete bottom part of the excavation. Is there any way to do this?
I am using ORD 2021 R1. I am also able to use InRoads SS2 if there is a way to do it in InRoads :)

Best regards,
Klaus

ORD2021 R1 Extreme Slow Sheet Model Opening

Erdem Atilir — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 07:48:09 GMT

Hi guys,

I have recently updated my ORD version from 2020R3 to 2021R1. Mostly everything seems ok but I have encountered slow opening speed of sheet model display. I captured the screen for comparison. This issue was also a problem in 10.07 version and corrected in following releases but now it occured again. I appreciate any suggestion as browsing through sheet models is a common practice.

Visual Glitches on PC

Ryan Barham — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 17:26:18 GMT

When I open MicroStation or OpenRoads on my PC, the display often has trouble. This most frequently manifests as certain icons disappearing when I hover over them, or menu selection graphics expanding to take up the entire window.

This is what happens when I navigate my mouse icon over menu items in the setup display. I can still see the icons when my mouse is directly over them, but when I remove the mouse, they disappear:

This carries over inside the project as well. Icons will randomly disappear if I switch windows or mouse over them:

about half the icons in the Home tab are gone here.

Other employees in the office have used this program on other computers without facing these sorts of glitches, which leads me to hypothesize that the problem might be my PC. Below are the specs of the computer I'm using:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

As well as my Windows specs:

Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
Installed on ‎4/‎22/‎2021
OS build 19042.1415
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Could this be the issue, or is there something I'm missing here?

Multiple Versions of OpenRoads Designer

Dave W. — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 17:13:25 GMT

I'm currently using ORD 2021 R1, but I noticed that 2020 R3 is still installed on my computer. Is there any reason to keep the 2020 R3 install, or can I remove it from my computer? I assume there's no functional link between the two installs? The reason I ask is that I've decided to migrate my organizational standards from a server location to my laptop, to speed up the load times over VPN. I discovered that I was editing the wrong .cfg file on my c: drive.

Thank you.

ORD 2020 R3 - 2021 R1 Horizontal Geometry Edit Problem

Erdem Atilir — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 10:22:45 GMT

Hello all,

While I am editing a horizontal geometry, I come across with the problem captured with gif below, which is inconsistent behaviour of alignment.

I am also having the same error in 2021 R1

Thank you.

[ORD] Ability to Drop multiple Terrains?

Mark Shamoun — Fri, 01 May 2020 11:00:58 GMT

Hi all,

I've been looking at ORD 2020 Release 2 and am trying to drop Terrains as described in the What's New of the Readme (https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/OpenRoads%20Designer%20CONNECT-v10/en/GUID-6343270D-95BD-4548-9D31-0CE16AD1F810.html).

The Drawing Drop command still results in the Terrain disappearing when you try to drop them, so is there some other method that is supposed to do this?

Regards,

Mark

Terrain import Offset and Elevation

Valeriu Chiorean — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 10:11:36 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to import some Offsets and Elevation data into a model and I have found the following issues.

I try to use the "Terrain" > "Additional Methods" > "Create Model from ASCII File" as shown here in the Wiki.

The data can be imported only in the alignment file. If the alignment resides in a referenced file the import fails.

While selecting the column headers if the horizontal scroll is far to the right the selection box is displaced, sometimes disappearing from screen, see attached.

The tool imports straight to "Default-3D" model, irrespective if data is 2D or 3D, what if I want to import to a different model?

Can we get the functionality to import with referenced alignment?

Can we get the functionality to select model for import?

Can the header selection box be aligned with column when scroll is to the right?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Val.

Refresh Annotation Groups

Wilf Chun — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 10:08:36 GMT

I am in the process of creating the templates required to generate cross section sheets, and I am tesing these on a design file.

When I edit the .dgnlibs (both sheet seeds and feature deffinitions for annotation groups) and then return to the design model to recreate the sections, it just creates them using the previouse definitions of these files.

Is there a way of refreshing/purgeing/compressing the unused annotation groups so that they update to the edited standards, and alow dynamic additing of teh cross section styles?

Automatic catchment delineation in OpenRoads

Hi,

Is there the automatic catchment delineation tool in openroads?

Thank you in advance.

Side Slope Annotation Issues

Warren McLachlan — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 13:38:29 GMT

Hi All

Has anyone gotten the Side Slope Annotation to work since Update 4 (2018 Release 2)?

I've followed the methodology in the video below, but it doesn't seem to apply at all (or even copy the annotation group form the library as a start):

https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/37274/video-side-slope-annotation

I got this working in Update 2, but not again since Update 4.

Thanks

IR/ORD - Calculating Drainage Areas

caddcop — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 15:06:16 GMT

We tried loading a DEM based DTM into InRoads to compute contributing areas using the Display Source Areas tool. Unfortunately, the point based surface does not really lend itself to this tool. Too often, the triangulation algorithm forms faces that cut off what should be flow paths, due to the lack of breaklines.

Does anyone have a methodology that they found useful to identify contributing areas using other Bentley tools. If not with them, are there other third party tools that can filter out these types of obstacles?

Contour to Hightmap - or RAW for Unity3D

Sigfus Jonsson — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 15:46:35 GMT

Is it possible to convert terrain to a height map with greyscale-encoded height values? Or RAW file?

My goal is to convert a Openroads terrain to RAW and import ti into Unity3D. If it is possible to export a heightmap, i could take it through L3DT and to a RAW and import into Unity3D

regards
