Bentley Systems, Inc. has been working with the Mississippi Department of Transportation regarding the migration to Open Roads Technology and PowerGEOPAK 08.11.09.493 platform. (Note, this will apply to InRoads and MX as well). One of the things most impressive is what they have done with their Civil Cell Library. Below are a couple of links that will be extremely helpful for those of you beginning to migrate to the new technology and have begun to consider Civil Cells. The first link is a Demo / Q&A on a Ramp Exit Gore area they did. Towards the end of the video Keith also talks about some general tips he embraced during the development of their robust Civil Cell library in general. Also included is their latest workspace environment as well as their documentation page for the new technology. I know a lot of Agencies are currently in the process of developing workspaces. The environment MSDOT has created should give you some excellent ideas to consider. Note, as stated in the video, all of this is public domain and may be freely distributed.
Note, when selecting the FTP link choose cancel when prompted for a username and password and the file will then proceed to download.

So how does one get a username and password to download the video?

Just select cancel when prompted for username and password and it should download.
It sure does not work for me on Firefox.
This is great. Much appreciated Chuck!
Very informative. Great civil cells library. A lot of hard work. Thank you for sharing that. As a keen InRoads user I appreciate the bridge that Openroads technology builds between MX, GEOPAK and InRoads.
