• "Label Terrain Contours" up the slope seems to be broken?

    Hello, I am using OpenRoads Designer CE 2022 Release 1 . The tool " Label Terrain Contours ", when choosing " Up Slope " the results are buggy, see screenshot below. I would expect that the text annotations are placed aligned with the contour and…
  • Creating a terrain from a point cloud without point classification

    I have a large point cloud attached to my file that has point shots for everything on the same classification. Therefore, I cannot turn off everything besides the ground shots to create a terrain surface for the existing ground of my project area. When…
  • Profile view: terrain model breaking up when complex alignment exceeds a certain length

    Hey, I recently got my hands on OpenRoads Designer 2022. My issue is as follows: When I create a complex alignment and open a profile view with an active terrain model, the terrain model appears to be fragmented (see pic). This happens when the alignment…
  • Drape surface command ORD equivalent?

    I am creating a proposed terrain model, working in a 3D model file. I want to drape some linework on to another terrain model so that they pick up its elevations, as the drape surface command worked in InRoads. These new lines cross existing features…
  • How do I grade to an elevation in OpenRoads?

    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…
  • Terrain model shifting after adding more points

    I have a terrain that looks great after I add more elements to the terrain some triangles shift. the shift is happening in areas that were previously processed and that looked good. can anyone help? software: ORD Release 3.
  • Is it possible to make a terrain model that covers several unconnected areas?

    Hi, Is there any way to make one terrain model that covers several unconnected areas? I need to model and calculate volumes for all the ditches beside a rail track. There are about 30 and they are separate from each other. Whenever I try to make…
  • Selecting Contour in Openroads Terrain to Create "From Elements" Terrain Model

    I am struggling with finding any information on being able to select one or multiple contour's from a Openroads Terrain (tried both 2D and 3D) Model to create a new terrain or a boundary based on the contours from within a ORD terrain. It was noted…
  • Merging Terrain Model Issue

    We have a project where we created an Existing Terrain Model. While going through our design process, a few private properties have undergone construction along our corridor, and we would like to update our existing terrain model. We obtained CAD files…
  • Profiles

    Is there a way to reference the profile view into another dgn? Or make the profile elements (the way that InRoads created profiles)?
  • Contour Labeling Issues - Terrain Model - What's The Best Way To Place Contour Labels?

    Hey all, I have been trying to get contours to display properly in my terrain model and the labels are not showing up correctly. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about doing this? I have tried to go the Template route, and selecting "Existing Contours…
  • How the elevations of the line follow the surface?

    How can I make a straight line break where the surface breaks by following the surface? Screen shot is from Civil3D; Looking from above, the green circles above the red line indicate where the line breaks along the surface. When you look from perspective…
  • Excavation plan with ORD 2020

    There are different excavation depths and different excavation slopes on the basis of the building, whose photographs I have attached. I prepared this excavation plan with Civil3D. How can I make such an excavation plan with openroads? I have to work…
  • Spot Level Cell for Terrain Model

    I would like to create a civil cell that can be used to report the elevation of any point on a terrain model. I would like the cell to update when the terrain model is updated. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
  • Importing a DEM to a Terrain model; is there a way to change the geographical coordinate system in the file options?

    Maybe I am just doing something wrong so feel free to call me out on that too. Here is the problem as it seems to occur, In PA we have some LIDAR data stored as DEMs it tends to be cleaner than the LAS data that is also provided. It actually is in PA…
  • Scalable Terrain Model (STM) from OpenRoads Designer Terrain

    I'm finding as I continue to work with OpenRoads Designer (Connect 2018 Release 2), that it would be helpful to export a Terrain to an STM. The functionality of the STM seems to be helpful in many ways, including being able to generate simplified contours…
  • Open Roads Designer Freezes/Crashes when deleting or dropping terrain models

    I have an OpenRoads Designer dgn Version 4 with several terrain models. I am editing the terrain models and adding new ones frequently. When attempting to delete the terrain models, or when using Drop Element, ORD freezes up and I have to kill it via…
