It feels like every time I use any tool on any element it in open roads (10.10) it results in a vague error that's impossible to troubleshoot unless I perfectly complete like 15 actions. I have an alignment I'm trying to set to a terrain model, I don't know if the alignment element is 2D or 3D or where it inherited it's attributes from, or how to check, I got it from another team member, lets pretend I can't ask them or recreate it. A similar workflow to ours is shown in this linkedin tutorial, about 1 minute in is where I'm struggling. I have a civil alignment and terrain model stored in separate files and referenced into my current drawing. If I try to use the "Open Profile Model" on my referenced in alignment, I get "Element type not valid for this tool".
I'm trying to start using open bridges (10.10) with an existing alignment, but this alignment has "No active profile available" when I try to associate a bridge with it. Rather than fixing my specific issue, I'm much more interested in where any of you that are super users even found the resources to become one? I asked bentley to join the developer program but they wanted like over 4 figures I wasn't willing to pay that for something that probably wouldn't help. I can't ask a forum every time, Bentley's training videos don't have seem to have the answers, most of their official videos seem to be their employees also seeing the software for the first time. Would be nice to get some scripted training that's actually been reviewed by an educational professional or someone qualified, but for now, I appreciate any help or tips any of you can provide that might help me figure out how they want people to use this to produce drawings.
For reference, I've been drafting with various systems including microstation for 16 years, not new at drafting, just new with ORD/Open Bridges features.
