  • Very slow Customize Ribbon dialog in ORD

    Is anyone else experiencing massive delay in using the Customize Ribbon dialog in ORD? Using it is fine, but actually opening it takes a while. I am also having a very lengthy wait (5 minutes+) for it to apply menu changes. My version of Microstation…
  • Any way to identify imported Geometry into OpenRoads?

    Hi all, Is there any way at all to identify geometry that has been imported into OR SS4 or ORD? There doesn't seem to be anything anywhere to let the user know it has been imported and has a relationship to an external source. It would be quite useful…
  • Using Design History in ORD?

    I've noticed Design History is enabled again after being disabled in SS3/4 - does this mean it is good to go for ORD? It would be fantastic if so. Testing it, it seems to be working correctly for Microstation elements but crashes when using it for…

  • 3d Linestyle issues in ORD

    Hi all, I have some 3d linestyles that include mesh components that don't seem to display at all in ORD - they work fine in SS4 and Microstation Connect (update 4). Other 3d linestyles that just include shapes/lines etc. come in okay. They have always…
  • ORD SDK Data / Examples

    Hi all, I know its still early days but will any OpenRoads SDK data/examples be released with ORD any time soon? eg. SS4 examples in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Civil\SDK Examples\. Seeing as OR is no longer an add-on this would help the industry add…
  • Use of SS4 Feature Definitions in ORD

    Hi all, As a lot of us have quite a number of established feature definitions in our SS4 workspaces, can these feature definitions be used or migrated to ORD without recreating the whole lot? Understandably native styles will be gone but we already…
