Is there a detailed work flow for using the ORD Modeller API?

The ORD Modeler API is a part of the OpenRoads COM API and provides a way to access and manipulate the elements and properties of a road design model created in OpenRoads Designer. It allows you to automate various tasks related to the road design process, such as creating and modifying alignments, profiles, corridors, surfaces, and other design elements.

The Modeler API provides a rich set of objects and methods for interacting with the design model, such as:

  • Alignments: Create, modify, and query horizontal and vertical alignments
  • Profiles: Create, modify, and query profiles for cross-sectional design
  • Corridors: Create and manage road corridors, which represent the 3D design of the road
  • Surfaces: Create and manipulate surfaces, which are used for visualization and analysis of the road design
  • Geometry: Create and modify geometric elements like points, lines, curves, and spirals
  • Annotations: Add text, labels, dimensions, and other annotations to the design model
  • Data exchange: Import and export data from and to various formats, including LandXML, DWG, DGN, and others.

To use the Modeler API, you need to have a basic understanding of programming concepts and experience with a programming language like C#, Python, or VB.NET. You also need to have a licensed version of OpenRoads Designer installed on your computer. Once you have set up your development environment and obtained the necessary references and assemblies, you can start writing code to automate your road design tasks using the Modeler API.
