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…

Hello, I was creating some corridors that ended up looking like this. I initially thought that it did not extend to the limits of the horizontal alignment because of a shorter profile. However, the profile spans the limits of the horizontal line…

This seemed like a simple question that someone has definitely asked before but I can't seem to find the answer to - I apologize if this is a common question. When creating the corridor model - as I drop template through different interval of station…

I recently downloaded and when I try to create a template I get the following error: I'm guessing it's saying that there is no path to a default template library defined. How do I create one, and shouldn't the install create this automatically?…

I am trying to figure out how to design my templates around my PGL. Before, Iassumed my PGL was always 0.5' below the median, and I showed all grass medians as being 2% crowned. I know this is incorrect, because the PGL location varies throughout the…

Hi, I have a question in regards to template drops. For visualization purposes the client wants to split the template drop into segments of 2m (for example). I know I can do this manually and calculate the stations for each segment, but the corridor…

Hello dear users, Is there a way to attach multiple Template Libraries at once? I would like to attach a WorkSpace Template Library, where we have our standard building blocks, and a WorkSet Template Library, which are project related. With…

I am attempting to create several general use templates for our Concepts group. I'd like to be able to modify template components more specifically - it appears the only options I have are to type in the desired dimensions. It does not give me an opportunity…

Hi, I need to generate paving grades in OpenRoads/InRoads SS4 809.903 so my workflow has been to use a graphical filter feature to select the correct features from my corridor and then export to a DTM. My problem right now is that despite having all…

I am trying to calculate volumes of different layers of asphalt and different layers of groundwork. I've created a template which contains all these layers, where the final groundwork layer is variable (slopes and ramps or not). In my template this layer…

Hey, I create corridors for roundabouts with access roads. The cross-sections include among others roadway, sidewalk and turn lane. When displaying a 3D model, appear errors in several places: What can it result from? I use OpenRoads Designer…

I would like to get descriptions of how certain components in ConceptStation work. Such as the divided origin component. Is this provided anywhere in the help files? I would also like to see more online tutorials on some of the newer features such as…

I'm using SS2 and Inroads 8.11.07.615. I'm working on fixing some discrepancies in my road surface. I've deleted some unwanted subgrade components from the templates, but pieces of the unwanted components show up in the transition. After examining the…

I have managed to use point controls to control the Kerbs and Verges however the central surface template has not stretched with it. It feels as if the central surface template is 'locked'. Its not recognized as a corridor so i can't use horizontal…

Hi, I have created a template and some simple geometry (a center line for a continuous foundation.) to apply the template to. The idea is to create a surface of the future terrain cut and than calculate the total volume cut. Now my problem is that the…

The method we've used to represent cross drainage in a roadway project is to create a template for the culvert. The template follows a specified flow line profile. It also has a number of display rules that may be turned on or off. These display rules…

I've modeled a depressed tunnel along a complex alignment based on typical template with niches and openings cut out from the mesh model. But now my engineer requested for a portion of the tunnel to have a different wall height. I do not want to modify…

I am trying to build a template for a retaining wall in Open Roads. How do I get the depth of the retaining wall to vary with the terrain? Also, how do I add a fill end condition at the bottom of the retaining (this also needs to vary with the terrain…

While in the Create Template dialog, clicking the Help button gets me a blank help box. How is this fixed, with a variable? Not sure what is the cause. MicroStation V8i (SS4) 08.11.09.832 InRoads Suite V8i (SS4) 08.11.09.878 Thanks

InRoads SS2 I have a pavement section that I need to split into two separate components for left and right side shoulder reconstruction. The only way I know to accomplish this is to delete everything on one side, then completely reconstruct the now…

In InRoads SS2, In a template, I could set a style constraint for a point to be horizontal, vertical, or both. In ORD I am only seeing the option to set a Horizontal Feature Constraint. What happened to the vertical option?

Hello, I am designing a template that involves a standard two directional curbed road-way (split between two templates (one for left and one for right)) with sidewalks (shown as a vertical line with no horizontal dimension) adjacent to the curbside, and…

Hi, I have a question regarding on how to create a cut for some isolate foundations (square shaped) with a cut slope of 1:1. So far I have tried to draw a square, assign an elevation and then apply a linear template but it can not create the 'hole…

I am having trouble with a template, the order in which the points are being connected is out of sequence and does not follow the constraints. It actually seems to be following the order of point selection when using the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons in the…

Hi all, Due to the OpenRoads ITL limitations meaning that use of a single network ITL by multiple users was fraught with danger - ie. multiple users opening a single ITL at the same time and last save overwriting others changes, OR not rereading ITL…
