• Horizontal offsets error

    Hello, I have a planimetric lines (Edge of Shoulder/ Edge of Pavement) dgn file created using basic horizontal offset tools from an alignment attachment, I did some changes to the alignment (removing/adding PI's) and since then the planimetric dgn is…
  • Table Editor - Horizontal Geometry Redefining Bearings Issue

    I have been struggling to successfully use the table editor to edit my horizontal geometry. For instance, I would like to use the editor to quickly round off the decimals on bearings. When I attempt to do this, the table editor is throwing the ahead tangent…
  • Move Entire Horizontal Geometry

    I am currently taking as-built plans and recreating the horizontal geometry. We do not currently have the topo surveyed but want to proceed with this. I need to create and best fit together multiple as-builts out in space and then move the geometry to…
  • Equal Space Points tool issue

    I'm attempting to place a series of 2D points using the Equal Space Points tool and upon doing so, keep receiving the "Element off design plane" error message immediately followed by the all too common program crash. I noticed it created a 3D model in…
  • Creating Alignments - Feature Name keeps resetting to the feature definition name seed.

    When creating alignments in ORD, we have noticed that the Feature Name keeps reverting to the "Name Seed" of the feature definition whenever there is a reset. This is different than the behavior in SS10, where it would keep the custom name entered until…
  • Horizontal Geometry Glitches on Reference Refresh

    I have a horizontal layout for my merges and diverges, with dimensions per DMRB CD 122, as follows: Nose taper using Ratio Offset Taper for length and nose ratio Nose carriageway using Single Offset Entire Element for the carriageway width Merge…
  • Tips & Tricks for Altering Horizontal Geometry With a Vertical Component Tied to a Terrain

    Hi All- Looking for some advice on altering ORD Horizontal Geometry already tied to a Vertical profile and a terrain model without causing a hard crash of the program? The reason I am altering geometry at all like this is to size basins to a desired…
  • Horizontal Geometry: Replace Reference Best Practices

    When attempting to replace the reference for Arc from Element and Line from Element horizontal geometry, I almost always receive the "Element off design plane" error message followed by a complete program crash. This issue results in a considerable amount…
  • Import horizontal geometry from an ORD DGN into another ORD DGN

    I am generating numerous alternatives for a project, some have very similar geometry. Is there a way to copy multiple horizontal geometry from one file or model into another. I see there is a way to do a single element. Merge into master loses all ru…
  • Geometry Table Editor in Openroads Designer

    I'm using ORD 2019 R1. While working on horizontal geometry I've noticed the Table editor tool does not work if the geometry is not PI based. It is not working when there is a reverse curve, and also after redefining complex it is not working properly…
  • Define horizontal curve by length instead of radius

    Is it possible to define a curve by length instead of radius in order to match existing plans and the correct curve PI? Thank you!
  • Horizontal Alignment Integrity Lost in ORD 10.07 Update

    I have a complex horizontal alignment created in ORD 10.06. When I open it in 10.06, the horizontal check integrity report shows that everything is ok (all 0's in the right hand columns). However, when I open the alignment in ORD 10.07, there are many…
  • Cannot see Curve details of Horizontal alignment

    I have imported a string from MX as openroads alignment. When selecting an alignment, the civil rules along with markers to modify the alignment appear. When selecting this particular alignment the civil rules and markers are displayed for short elements…
  • [OpenRoads] Editing Horizontal Geometry from a 3D model

    Hi, the latest version of PowerInroads (.674) seems to work in an unexpected manner - please take a look at attached video. Selecting in a 3D model any 3D linear feature generated from a template allow editing horizontal alignment which resides in a 2D…
  • Station range of linear quantities

    Hi, I am working on an 8 mile corridor project. We have layed out perimeter controls and it is time for quantities. For shorter jobs, we use the horizontal alignment tracking tool to get the station range and then manually measure the length of the…
