• Why are my nodes changing the way they display?

    I have a few conduits that are free outfalls but when I was changing their elevations the end nodes changed to the default headwall display. Nothing has changed other than the elevations.
  • ORD SUE/SUDA - Custom Drainage Nodes - Skew and Translation

    I created a custom drainage node. I want it to skew and shift it orientation with respect to the inlet. I changed the rotation and location of the bottom cell with respect to the alignment line and the point, however the cell translation has not updated…
  • Node Limit Within ORD Drainage & Utilities

    Is there a Node limit when using ORD Drainage & Utilities... by itself. What I mean is in order to model a larger site/corridor, with over 100 drainage nodes, can this be done just using ORD Drainage and Utilities? Or do we have to use one of the other…
  • Drainage and Utilities Connecting Links not showing up in Utility Properties

    I have a couple storm sewer utility runs drawn. Where one of my nodes have 3 different conduits connect too, in the properties how ever it only shows one connecting link. I'm attempting to resolve this so i can annotate all of the connecting conduit…
  • How can I set up my curb grate inlet to read my proposed terrain that gives me a correct longitudinal slope and cross slope?

    How can I set up my curb grate inlet to read my proposed terrain that gives me a correct longitudinal slope and cross slope? The current slopes show up as 100% which are obviously not desired or reflected on the terrain. I suspect it is from the curb…
  • ORD Drainage Symbology - Existing bottom proposed top - different symbology

    Question regarding symbology for drainage nodes. Is it possible for a drainage node to have different symbology for the top and bottom? The reason for the question is that a project may require using an existing bottom structure and just replacing the…
  • Replace Drainage Node

    I was wondering if theres a simpler way to replace a drainage node with a different node type. IE i have an existing drainage layout but want to swap an inlet to another type without deleting and replacing the node in the same location.
  • Editing Drainage Nodes in OpenRoads

    I am currently using OpenRoads Designer to lay out some drainage networks. We have a few flumes in our system. The flumes need to extend behind sidewalk, however the default length of the node placed cannot be edited. Would we have to create new nodes…
  • [ORD R3] Subsurface utilities connections

    Hi, recently I built model of utilities from xls and program used some default node cell, which I would like to recreate (see the picture below). However I have some problems with creating such cell. The node should automatically recognize both conduits…
  • Creating new Nodes and Pipes for modeling SU in OPEN ROADS

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a well-explained lecture (video better than paper) about the workflow for creating new nodes and pipes, conduits, ducts, inlets,.... for modeling in the SU workflow delivered in OPENROADS and OPENRAIL. I need to understand…
  • Is there a way to add street furniture using cells from the cell library to OpenRoads SS4?

    I have been trying to figure out how to add a cell from the cell library to a corridor as a 3D element. Is there a way to do this? (similar to the way the nodes in SUE Modeling operate in OpenRoads)
  • OpenRoads Designer SUE - Node Bottom Cell Not Connecting with Top Cell

    Good Morning All, I seem to be having a problem in SUE when I create a new node in my cell library. When placing it in my model, the bottom cell does not extrude up and meet the top cell. These solid elements have been created using slab solids and…
  • Export from GPK to GDF File

    I am trying to Export from a GPK file to a GDF File and the Nodes will export, however the Links will not. I have another project available to reference and I can successfully export both the Nodes and Links in the other file. Any help to figure out why…
  • Place a lateral command problem

    When I try to use the command "place a lateral" it does not work out for me. I use an existing stormwater pipe, adding a new pipe and node with the same type as the existing pipe. The only product of the command is a point on the correct level, but no…
  • Change direction on conduits that are linked to lines.

    Hello, When I use a command chain as follows, the conduits direction cannot be change. How can I solve this? I create a line going from point A to point B (direction from A to B). Then I use the command "Extract Utilities from Graphic" command creating…
  • Adding a node (structure) to an existing pipe network (conduits).

    Hi! I am modelling a sewage pipe system where I cannot place a node / lateral connection on an existing conduit. The placement of my pipe system is obtained using the "Extract utilities from graphics"-command whereas the end and start point of the graphic…
