Terrain Modeling
United States July 08, 2015
Sean Conway

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.

Creating Centerline Geometry
United States July 09, 2015
Sean Conway

This course teaches how to import, create, edit, and view horizontal and vertical centerline geometry. After completing this course you will have a solid understanding of not only the OpenRoads centerline geometry tools but more importantly the design intent captured by the OpenRoads Technology.

Modeling a Superelevated Divided Highway
United States July 10, 2015
Sean Conway

In this course, you will learn to model a divided highway with superelevation in a corridor model, including: create a corridor, use of secondary alignments, and superelevation sections and lanes. You will also learn how to define superelevation rules files, edit, and report.

Course Prerequisite: Completion of QuickStart for Roadway Modeling using OpenRoads Technology

Cross Sections:Creating, Annotating and Volumes
United States, July 10, 2015
Sean Conway

This class teaches how cross section sheets are created and annotated, earthwork volumes are computed, and mass haul diagrams are formulated.

Course Prerequisites: Users should have a basic understanding of road design principles and be fluent in the use of one of the Bentley Power products or CAD and the native application (MX, InRoads or GEOPAK).

Pad and Parking Lot Modeling
United States July 14, 2015
Joey LouAllen

In this course, you will learn how to add vertical information to 2D pad and parking lot elements and use linear templates for slopes that tie into the existing terrain.

Course Prerequisites: QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads Technology

Using Civil Cells in OpenRoads
United States July 14, 2015
Joey LouAllen

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 in SELECTseries 3.

You will learn the basics of placing civil cells. This includes gaining an understanding of what civil cell references are and how to use them in a practical workflow. You will learn to use the civil cells delivered with the product, as well as how to use civil cells taken from external sources and incorporate them into your models. You will learn to edit and re-use civil cells that have been placed within a model.

Before completing this course, we recommend you complete both the QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads as well as the QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads courses.

Approach and Driveway Modeling in OpenRoads
United States July 15, 2015
Joey LouAllen

In this course, you will learn several techniques that can be used to model simple intersections, such as approaches and driveways. You will learn how to use several of the vertical geometry tools, how to apply a linear template, and surface templates.

Course Prerequisites: Prior experience using OpenRoads Technology or Completion of QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads and QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads courses.

 

Using the Model: Preparing for Plan Production in OpenRoads
United States July 15, 2015
Joey LouAllen

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.

Within OpenRoads, the majority of the plan production is done using the native tools and native file formats. In order to facilitate the usefulness of these tools, this course will focus on moving the OpenRoads data and models back to the native data formats. These files can then be used to create construction drawings, including plan sheets, profiles sheets, and grading plans.

Before completing this course, we recommend you complete both the QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads as well as the QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads courses.
