ORD 10.12.2.4 suppose you're in dgn file "A" attach a dgn file "B" that has a horizontal alignment with an active vertical. While in file "A" you can create a profile window for the alignment shown in File "B" and you'll see file "B's" vertical geometry…

I have a question on geometry edits in ORD 10.12.02.04 (2022R3). I know that OpenRoads’ design intent and rules were intended to be timesavers. But I’ve reached a point where – after trying to make extremely simple edits to a horizontal geometry – they…

Using ORD 2021R1 When working in geometry, is there a way to stop the selected Design Standard from dropping in the toolbar if you do absolutely anything other than continuously create geometry? Thanks Euan

In Geopak, the place ST Tangent to Curve tool allowed users to input the bearing direction for the tangent. What is the easiest way to accomplish this in ORD?

So this is more of a commentary rather than a question. we are still new to ORD and ran into the issues of wanting the detour vertical and mainline vertical to show on the same profile. Projected profiles are obviously not sufficient as they truncate…

I am using Uk standards Library for designing Stormwater drains. How do I add a new Feature definition/ Cell Library which is not in the Cell Library for a new Chamber (image attached for reference) in ORD. I tried using the Add New Template option and…

I recently jumped to a new role doing infrastructure visualisation and was given a large highway project in ORD and OBM to export and eventually run through a renderer. After getting through the huge host of issues exporting from OpenRoad entails (Did…

I have an intersection that I am attempting to design. The inside EOPs are arcs as they are in a radius. Is there a trick to place an geometry arc between the two? I can get it to work with a simple arc but not with geometry. Any help is greatly appreciated…

Wow,... I could whip this stuff out in InRoads SS2 ... but I digress (it's a bad habit of mine these days living in a COGO world) I cannot figure out a way to layout Point #9 in this diagram. I've laid out Point #6 (the POB), Point #7 (the curve PC…

I've been working on the layout of a subdivision and can't get the InRoads Locate tools out of my skull. Those things were a beautiful set of tools for laying out COGO Points. So, does anyone know how I can do a very simple Direction - Alignment intersection…

I believe I've had this issue before but got it again today. Sometimes when exporting to DWG some geometry doesn't get exported. In this case it's a complex made up of a number of intervals, lines, arcs etc. I've tried a Compress and can't see any…

This error keeps showing up when i am trying to trim the elements in my model. What could be the possible reason ? Thanks in advance

I am attempting to profile the gutter line for an intersection return. One one end of the return I want the profile to match the existing gutter line, and on the other end of the return I want the profile to match the proposed gutter line from my corridor…

How to Split Horizontal and Vertical Alignments into Two Separate Alignments with maintain corridor?

Hi Guys, I cant figure out how to correct station intervals in my production profile sheet . After using chainage equation, ahead station of my profile showing unevenly. Regards , Lalit

Good Morning. I'm having an issue getting OpenRoads to grade a basin in the manner I want to grade a basin. What I want to do is take a element provided from another team member; for instance, an edge of sidewalk or a edge of shoulder (a 3D element…

For some reason, I cannot get my profile to display. It starts out like the first picture then i had to zoom in (a lot!) to get to the station range of my alignment as in picture 2. It use to show up with the entire proposed profile and ground line. if…

I am using OpenRoads Designer CE 2021 Release 1 for an urban roadway project that utilizes a lot of custom Civil Cells for driveways. Today I deleted one of the driveway Civil Cells and replaced it by using new reference graphics. Everything seemed to…

Currently I am working in ORD 10.09.00.91, and we have a large project that was created in SS2 with GEOPAK. The project is still being revised but the client wants a 3D model. I built one in SS4 previously and point controls worked with the design line…

In GEOPAK is there a simple way to divide a complex chain into equal length segments? I have a chain that is comprised of a line segment and curve. I would like to be able to divide the chain similar to dividing a line or curve without doing so segmentally…

I built geometry based on an alignment. I moved the alignment 3.5'. The geometry should shift along with the alignment right? When I open the design file, where I have all my geometry, the geometry doesn't move. The inside edge of pavement (EOP) on either…

*Edit: I am using OpenRoads Designer 2020 R3 I have a spreadsheet that requires the drainage areas for a ditch to be input every 50 feet right and left along an alignment. The “manual” method I would use to accomplish this would be to use the measure…

Hi I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user. I am working on modeling an intersection. I have laid out a pavement/wearing surface with edge of pavement lines. I applied my curb & gutter/sidewalk/tie as a linear template to EOP lines. When adjusting…

I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user. I have my centerline horizontal and vertical created and both have been exported to the gpk. My geometry file is referenced into my model file. When in my model dwg, if I switch to 3D space, the centerline…

I am attempting to use the Complex By Elements tool to create vertical geometry. When I try to select my first element, I get the error message, "Element not valid for tool". I am in what appears to be a 2D view. I cannot use plan by 3D element on the…
