• Snaps not snapping - Interactions between civil geometry and MicroStation geometry

    Hi All, I'm new to using ORD and I'm trying to learn how all the stuff works. Today I encountered some unintuitive behavior with interactions between civil lines and not-civil lines. I was trying to trace overtop of a MicroStation line with a civil…
  • maximum number of vertices in profile in ORD?

    Hello- I am experiencing weirdness with my alignment/profile in OpenRoads Designer 2021 R1. I have a 3 mile trail with many horizontal and vertical curves. I know there may have been limitations with Geopak/V8i with the number of vertices in a profile…
  • Single Offset Partial/Entire - Looped Alignment

    Hello all, I'm attempting to create an offset horizontal civil geometry from a looped baseline (exit ramp alignment). However, the tool will not allow me to create the offset at the desired distance. I have a hunch that it has to do with the looping…
  • Trim Multiple - Civil Geometries

    Hello All, I'm trying to trim a gap in a horizontal civil geometry element between two other civil geometries. From everything I've read in the help and in various Communities posts, the "Trim Multiple" should still work with civil geometries. In my…
  • Settings / Configuration Variable | Civil Geometry | Gaps

    Hello, There exists a setting or configuration variable which controls the functionality of gap elements (the hidden portion of intervals). Normally when you hover your element selection tool over a gap it will highlight and you can select the gap directly;…
  • Profile from referenced Corridor - Why is this such a battle!

    Running the latest Geopak/ Inroads 08.11.09.845 and even though this version maintains a triangulated top surface in the background the profile from surface tool STILL creates a broken profile that will jump randomly from the top of the component to the…
  • View Attributes - Civil Geometry

    Trying to Civilize some Microstation elements and some work and some fail to civilize and I am having to redraw. It would be very handy if civil Geometry was a View Attribute that I could toggle on/off. Terry
  • Move Parallel in Civil Geometry

    I want to simply move a line (Civil Geometry) parallel to itself for a distance defined by snapping to some other element. I don't see that there is a simply way to do this very basic thing. Move parallel... I don't want a copy, I want to move the existing…
  • Crashing in Civil Message Center

    I am running Microstation SS3 08.11.09.608 and Geopak SS4 08.11.09.788 When using Civil Message Center I can right click and choose to zoom to an error but if I try to right click and "add to selection" the software crashes. I have the simplest of files…
  • Civil Geometry

    Not being able to see/display the profile of civil geometry from another file or model needs to be resolved. It is hard to make the case that this is better than the legacy products when something so simple is precluded. Also, we need the ability to…
  • Civil Geometry - Design Intent

    When creating horizontal or vertical civil geometry we should have a toggle that will retain or not retain the "design intent". Having to go back and remove constraints and "re-civilize" elements is just a lot of extra clicks. Further design intent, and…
  • Civil Geometry crash sequence

    MicroStation 08.11.09.608 GEOPAK 08.11.09.722 This sequence crashes MicroStation every time in any file on any computer I've tried. Civil Tools / Horizontal Geometry / Arc Between Points Method: Start\End|Pass-through Snap to end of first element…
  • Too many elements for civil rule creation - impacts

    When importing an alignment with General Geometry Import, from a .gpk, one of my advanced users is getting a message stating "Horzontal contains too many elements for civil rule creation." What does this mean and what are the impacts? PowerGEOPAK SS3…
  • Open Roads - Profiles - View Multiple in single window

    It does not appear that we can view two profiles in the same window. If I am wrong about this please advise me as to how I can accomplish this. This seems like a pretty common need/desire and if it is not currently accommodated, is it something that is…
  • Horizontal Geometry Tools - Tan/Tan/Tan (Power Inroads 081109674)

    Is there a way to create a simple arc via 3 tangents? So selecting a staight, arc, straight to create a horizontal curve. We can create this using microstation tools, followed by tracing with civil tools although we need to construct the geometry with…
  • Inserting HIP with spiral-arc-spiral

    I have a complex element where I have inserted a new HIP using the "Insert Vertex" under the main toolbar. I can't seem to find how to insert a horizontal curve with spiral transitions for this IP location? Thanks, Dan
  • Civil geometry reverse curve spirals

    HI, I have recently started using MX V8i SS2's civil geometry tools for my horizontal setout. One thing I am trying to do is to create reverse curve spirals. This is quite simple to achieve using MX's standard alignment tools, but I cannot…
  • Civil geometry complex element manipulator

    When creating an alignment on powercivil SS3 using the civil tools, object manipulators disappear when the alignment is very long, only manipulators for PI's remain and the ones for radius, lines, etc do not show except for the first few elements. Has…
