      If you recall, the previous blog post introduced our target assignment. We will use InRoads View Color Coded Slopes tool to generate a Steep Slopes Analysis as required to meet certain jurisdictional requirements. We frequently need to develop plans that identify areas with steep slopes. Hopefully, when you have a series of regular workflows, you create and save preferences to streamline the process. The slope ranges…

      So I've been promoted from BMVP to Knowledge Executive! Well, here' my first Blog Post as a Knowledge Executive...

      There are many “percentage” myths and maxims out there. There’s the one that claims that most of us only use 10% of our brains. And there’s the one about how 80% of the users of software use only 20% of its features. As Bentley users, we know that you are using more than 10% of your brains. So my hope…

      clint.alderfer
      clint.alderfer

       Until recently, cross sections tended to drive the design of our projects. They depicted an accurate representation of a model—one that we all generally grew accustom to. However with the advent of OpenRoads technology, cross sections eventually became what is more so a “byproduct” of our proposed design model, leaving the 3D model to drive design.
