Has anyone come up with an efficient way to compile a single DGN file with cross sections in OpenRoads Designer? Currently, we are referencing all of the XS models into a nested compiled file, which is tedious and inefficient. I submitted a product enhancement request for this (option working sections similar to an SS2/SS4 XS set and option to created single DGN XS sheets) but I was wondering if anyone has a work around until (if) they get to this? Running ORD release 3 (10.05.00.30).
Thanks,
Justin
I would like to echo that it would be highly ideal to have all the cross sections displayed in a single design model. We work on projects that are 16+ miles long and frequently have hundreds of cross sections sheets. Also, yes, we have hand edits needed for certain callouts for items that are too time consuming to model to the "nth" degree, or for things that cannot be easily manipulated or annotated given a limited feature definition library by certain clients or agencies of transportation.
Has there been a solution or workaround? I realize this thread is a couple years old.

We have a very long sheet seed that puts all cross sections on one sheet, does that work for you?

We have the same thing, Mark. Standard cross-section width but 15,000' long. That sheet dgnlib provides us with approximately 5,000 cross section cuts, and where we can scroll through the cuts like the old Inroads.
That would definitely be helpful, to have a long sheet seed which would effectively bring me back to the same workflow as InRoads V8i, where the sections are in a single model and then I can either reference our 22x34 sheet borders and array them along the sections. However, if Bentley is listening, it would be great to "have my cake and eat it to" where I would have the sections displayed in a single model but retain the OpenRoads functionality of automatically cutting the sheet models to save time. Thanks for the replies!
