QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads Technology            
Virtual Classroom, United States              
Mar. 23, 2015 – 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM        EDT       
Jeffrey Martin

This course is for both new users and users upgrading from previous versions of PowerCivil, Power GEOPAK, MX, and Power InRoads software to use the OpenRoads Technology. You will learn to use the software to setup working files, attach existing ground terrain and aerial imagery, and define horizontal and vertical geometry. After completing this course we recommend you continue your learning with the QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads course where you will learn how to model a roadway corridor and intersection.

This course is for both new users and users upgrading from previous versions of PowerCivil, Power GEOPAK, MX, and Power InRoads software to use the OpenRoads Technology. You will learn to model the roadway corridor using an existing two-lane urban typical section with curb and cutter and sidewalk, control the pavement with geometry, and review the 3D corridor model. You will also model a T-intersection complete with curb returns and side slopes using a civil cell. Finally, you will place pavement markings on the model. Before completing this course we recommend you complete the QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads course.

This course teaches how to display terrain models to view different source and computed features including boundary's, triangles, contours, and thematic height illustrations. You will also learn how to import graphic elements into terrain models, identify and fix terrain model problems, and combine multiple terrain models together.
