Hello, I'm new to ORD and was looking for some training on Roadside Ditch Analysis. Bentley's LEARNserver has training videos and a PDF (Placing a Ditch and Culvert Network) which is great but, at the beginning of the training PDF, it specifies that…

I'm designing a drainage network in OpenRoads Designer. I added catchments to all my inlets and now when I go to run the design scenario, I get this error: . Before I added the catchments, I was able to run the scenario and get the normal report …

I would like to have the calculated HGL for my storm sewer pipes show up in my Profile Sheets. It shows up in in the model, but when I create named profile boundaries during the sheet creation process, I cant figure out how to get the HGL line to show…

Whenever I click on "Utility Properties" for a catchment it does not show the Utility Properties Dialog Box. It doe not matter if I do it directly or through Properties Dialog Box. Utility Properties will show for Nodes and Conduits. Does anybody know…

Good day, I'm using OpenRoads Designer 2020 Release 3. How do I set the conduit Length (construction) (m) to be equal to Length (User Defined) (m)? i.e. I cannot type in a length while the conduit is active, I have to move the headwall node to…

I'm using Geopak Drainage on MicroStation SS4. I noticed that the values reported for "Total Loss at Upstream of Link" do not appear to be using the loss equations listed in the Help Documents for Geopak. Is this a known issue? I've calculated the Terminal…

Hi, I am creating a text favorite which will be used to annotate a Storm Pipe. When creating the text favorite and I'm prompted to select the pipe properties to be included, there seems to be some issues. Length (Construction) seems to be the pipe…

I can't figure out where in the inlet library I would enter the Free Open Area and Weir Perimeter for each inlet type. In GEOPAK this was simple to enter and you could also enter a clogging factor. How do you do this in ORD? I also tried following the…

What makes the link between the Drainage and Utilities features (inlets, manholes, inlets, etc.) and their corresponding Feature Definitions? I have already set up our standard Feature Definitions tied to their Feature Symbologies and Element Templates…

Is it possible to point ORD Drainage and Utilities to a network location for the Engineering Libraries? I would like to add some additional materials, add/modify inlet types, rainfall data, etc. I can see they all point to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\SUDA…

Hi, I'm having an issue where a deleted element appears to be stuck. In trying to compute a drainage model, I receive an error for a catchment which is no longer present. Looking through the project explorer, its definitely not present in the model;…

I have an issue where the thickness of my typical section has changed and would like to adjust all my inlets on my project making them 6 inches deeper. is there a way to quickly do this? I have tried editing them one at time in the flex tables and in…

I have a project with multiple alignments and profiles and the GDF is able to calculate the logitudinal slope source using the reference PGL for all alignments/profiles except for one. Are there some common things to double check within the GDF, GPK…

Is it possible to add sewer lines that do not fall within the limits of the reference TIN in Geopak Water & Sewer? For example, I have existing sanitary sewer lines (with known inverts) that extend beyond the limits of the TIN, but the program will not…

I'm trying to use the Storm and Sanitary product add in to design a storm drain system. However, whenever I try to use anything in the Drainage tab (e.g. Drainage - Lay Out or Drainage - Edit/Review...) I get an error stating "You must have an open drainage…

Using OpenRoads Designer 2020 Release 1 Update 8. Trying to model simple culverts to display in 3d. I want to place the culverts open-ended, based on an existing ditch profile and culvert inverts. Have been trying to use the Drainage and Utilities functionality…

I have a ddb file that i would like to add some items to to show existing pipe as a different linestyle but it seems to be password protected. Is there any way to remove this password?

Hi, I have been using Geopak for a project where I need to change some of the areas that I assigned to some inlets. I changed those areas in the dgn and then I used the area tools to assign them to the inlets. Those inlets it might have or not areas…

Hello, I'm trying to import a utility model from SS4 to OpenRoads. I followed the instructions here . I load my .xin file, my .dat file, and my .sdb file. I didn't load a .idf file, but I'm not sure if that's necessary. Here are the issues I'm having…

Hello, Does anyone have experience applying importing a Geopak Drainage design to SUDA? My initial thought was rather than using the StormCAD inlet, we would have to create the drainage nodes (structures- inlets, MH, etc) in the catalog in order to…

Hi. I’m hoping someone else has some experience with this in Open Roads Designer Connect Edition. There are some “ghost” elements in a file that is preventing me from running hydraulic analysis. If I run a "validate" or "compute" I end up It says that…

Does SUDA have the ability to analyze double and triple box culverts in a storm sewer conveyance system?
