• Concrete Joint Layouts in 3D models?

    So we are working on a concrete project and currently we still produce pdf plans and drawings etc. so of course we need to do a concrete joint layout diagram with all the measurements etc. for now its still a 2d drawing but i have some thoughts/concerns…
  • Editing in Station Offset Reports

    Hi all, I have a corridor of 4 Lane divided carriageway and I need to create a lane slopes report @ 10m interval. I ran the station base report . The camber/Lane slope in reports is calculating from centerline "CL" to carriageway edge "EOP" which is…
  • Gap in my 3D Model

    I'm working on a rail design in OpenRoads Designer, and there is a gap in my 3D model. I have created a ditch alignment and profile. A ditch point is point controlled to the ditch profile to aid in ditch sloping. A part of the issue is that the end condition…
  • ORD: SOLVING WHERE PED RAIL IS NEEDED WITHIN A TEMPLATE WITH MULTI-SLOPE SOLUTION

    I am using a template with CUT & FILL Multi-slope Solutions (1:6, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2) with a priority for each one of them. My question: even with the CUT & FILL multi-slope solution, has anyone been able to create a rule or maybe a null point that would solve…
  • Top Mesh Targeting Existing Terrain?

    According to my cross section, my top mesh is targeting the existing terrain throughout my corridor. I've checked my target aliasing as well as my corridor references/clipping but neither point to why this is happening. Any advice on how to correct this…
  • Design Cross Slope report values is not matching.

    I am trying to generate cross slope report @ 10 m interval by station base or station offset report but i am not getting appropriate values of cross slope in report. It seems correctly in cross-section view. Am missing something ?? Images is ready for…
  • Profile Intersection Point Pulling Elevation from Template Drop

    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…
  • End Condition Switches (ORD v10.10.20.78)

    Hi, Does anyone know why corridor model switches don't work as intended in ORD? In my template, I have a null point that has a horizontal feature constraint. When this horizontal feature constraint activates, the end condition I want modeled only…
  • ORD: Creating surfaces from corridors and merging into one final surface

    Greetings and happy new year. I am a novice at ORD and need direction. I have created an existing terrain model from a corridor using a very simplistic template that is 500 ft. left and right of my alignment with a +2% cross slope (lower…

  • Point controls of corridors while working from an active reference drawing that doesn't use feature definitions

    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…

    FDOT user. Attempting to model M&R on two frontage roads w/ exist. curb and gutter. I am using the milling template (overlay/stripping component). This is the mess i am getting. Any ideas how to correct this? here are my settings as well. Thx
  • Modifying Attributes of 3D linework generated within ORD

    I was once told never to modify elements in the 3D view of a ORD model. Does that include changing it's attributes and/or level directly in the 3D view? As I understand it, ORD should automatically create the 3D "profile" linework attributes in 3D based…
  • Components unexpectedly merge when dropping a template

    I am using PowerGeopak SS10 version 08.11.09.918 I have created a simple boulevard template with separate components for the paved median, concrete curbs, asphalt pavement, and subgrade. I created each component separately, and then combined them to…

    Has anyone else had this issue before? My corridor behaves like it is supposed to in this super elevated transition area but the yellow line on the right side is the top surface that Openroads generates. Also when I export to a TIN file it is doing the…
  • Limiting slope on through lane while curb profile is variable

    I can't help but feel there is a simple solution for this but here I am, in need of the great wisdom of the community here. I'm trying to get my road shoulder slope to vary while the slope from my centerline to the edge of travel lane fixed at 2%, while…
