What is New Bentley OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition Update 4

General Enhancements

  • Update of Power Platform to Update 10 CONNECT Edition (V10.10.00.23). The corresponding MicroStation version is (V10.010.00.23).
  • Includes Bentley LumenRT Designer CONNECT Edition Update 10.
  • Includes Bentley Descartes CONNECT Edition Update 2 (V10.08.00.22).
  • Update of gINT Civil Tools CONNECT Edition Update 1 (V10.01.01.06).
  • Support for following ProjectWise Connect Edition (V10.00.03.49) & (V10.00.03.14X).

Survey Enhancements

  • Added utility to merge field books.
  • Ability to create a linear chain by keying in a point list to create a survey chain (Example, AC100-AC109, AC100-AC101,AC104-AC106, etcetera.)
  • Ability to display survey decorators into individual quadrants, mimicking behavior in (SELECTseries 4).
  • Ability to place Survey Point as a cell on the level of element template called by the Feature Definition when the cell was defined with elements on "Default" level. This mimics MicroStation behavior and allows one cell definition to be used when survey points need to be on different levels.
  • Added a Close RECT command.

Terrain Enhancements

  • Sight Visibility tool is enhanced to use the alignment's speed table to calculate the instantaneous speed at a given station.
  • Sight Visibility tool now allows analysis to be done via equations.
  • Aquaplaning tool now previews flowlines and allows the acceptance of the results.
  • Aquaplaning now allows the ability to select a manual trace slope graphic.

Geometry Enhancements

  • All Geometry Points are given a name and now include a description field.
  • Geometry elements snapped to geometry points now show the point name under element information.
  • Horizontal and Vertical Table Editors have been move from Tech Preview to Commercial Release.

Modeling Enhancements

  • Template components now support arcs and circular components.
  • Target Aliasing that target Linear XY, Z, a XYZ target types now allows you to load all targets in the DGN without adding them as a Corridor Reference. The tool initially loads Corridor References by default.
  • Improved performance on initializing corridor and linear template processing.
  • Additional Volume Options: Unsuitable, Cut, Fill, and Substrata has been added.
  • The Create Cut Fill Volumes tool now takes account of the volume option in the Feature Definition. This also allows the Cut and Fill tool to take account of Unsuitable Materials and automate the population of the Cut and Fill features definitions.
  • Create Cut Fill Volumes has been enhanced to run off featurized meshes. This will allow creation of the cut and fill from the 3D model. It is no longer required to create a terrain model for the proposed rough grade.
  • End Area Volume report based off the 3D model and cross section name boundary group can now be generated.
  • Mass haul report can be generated using the MasshaulTOTIW.xml with End Area Volume report tool.
  • Imported Superelevation Rate Tables can now be viewed and edited in the Create/Edit Superelevation Rule File tool.
  • Added Display Template tool.
  • Ability to Import Template from graphics that contain arcs.

Drawing Production and Annotation Enhancements

  • Ability to place Coordinate Grids on Plan Drawing Models and Sheets.
  • Profile Framed Annotations for Curvature now allows use of the amplitude of the curve based off a ration of the Row Height and the curve.
  • Frame Annotation allows ticks instead of Vertical lines within a Frame Row.
  • Ability to turn off station equation name from annotated alignment and labels.
  • Ability to place labels view independent is added.

Tech Preview

  • Asset Manager (Tech Preview).
  • Text Favorite Manager (Tech Preview).
  • Export to MAXML (Tech Preview).
