  • best practice for multiple isolated terrain areas?

    What do you do if a survey crew takes a lot of isolated patches of topo areas. Think, maybe, for quadrants of urban intersection corners - with no shots (and no intent) to connect these "terrain islands". Out of the box (fieldbook) it will want to create…
  • 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 2022 R1] Exported Terrains Don't Match Original

    I tried exporting a complex terrain to all of the available export formats (dtm, tin, .xml, fil, and txt). When I create a new terrain from any of these exported files the triangles don't match the original terrain. I think the underlying terrain is being…

  • How do I get my proposed terrain to show up in the same view window as my cross section and my vertical alignment?

    I need to shift my vertical alignment for one road to match where it meets another one that's already been designed by someone else. Can anyone help? I'm using Open Roads Designer CE - 2021 Release 2.
  • 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…
  • Microstation Terrain to ORD Terrain

    How can a Microstation Terrain be given civil rules i.e. turned into a ORD Terrain? For context the Terrain has come from a STM. I've tried to follow the official documentation i.e. Set Feature Definition, select Terrain category: https://communities…
  • Items Types - Calculate Area of terrains with Item Types

    We try to build a library of item types that can be attached to Feature Definitions. In the Items tab in the Project Explorer properties like the length, area etc. can be read or filtered from the model. This works fine for Geometry (see image 1). For…
  • Delete triangles in a complex terrain created from merged surfaces.

    How do delete triangles in a complex terrain created from merged surfaces. The survey processing rules has been deactivated. I click on edit model to get the edit terrain model, click on delete triangles. I click on the terrain and it says that it isn…
  • 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…
