Has anyone found guidance on how to use the custom function when creating the prismodial volumes for cut/volumes? It is my understanding this feature could be used for items such as LSM but I cant seem to figure out the best way to use this feature.

I am trying to get excavation cut and fill quantities for a project. There will be a section of the terrain that will be cut and then there will be a fill placed on top of that. I'm trying to figure out what tools to use to achieve this. Would I create…

Is there a way to calculate earthwork on only one side of your corridor (LT or RT) using cut/fill volumes? This would be helpful in scenarios where the staging is broken up in such a way that only certain lanes/components are built during a particular…

We are having issues with voids in our cut/fill volumes. A ny thoughts? We are using ORD 2021 Release 2. Thank you.

I have a template where I have material that needs to be cut in order to grade down to subgrade. I also need this purple volume to be paid for as fill from the top of base to the finish grade. This fill area is constant throughout the range of the template…

I have a project where Create Cut Fill Volumes is not working correctly. It seems to be using a different existing ground terrain than what is set as active. The corridor correctly ties down to this terrain. The first image shows the left side of a particular…

Hi all. I am relatively new to using microstation v8i SS2. I understand that it is outdated, but I must use it for this particular project. I am trying to use the limits of construction tool in order to generate slope stakes. I am able to set everything…

Can the EAV report provide numbers other than just simple cut and fill? I understand that the "Create Cut Fill Volumes" command quantifies everything (which is great) - but I'd think the EAV function should be able to tabulate these components as well…

Hello all, FDOT Connect User here. When calculating earthwork shapes in ORD, my overbuild and milling shapes are calculated as fill. Anyone know how to troubleshoot? See the image below for reference. There is no pavement reconstruction, so there…

Hello- I see that I can change the fill factor for Class 10 cut or fill as shown here. Does anyone know if I can apply a fill factor to topsoil spread, which is a volume option of 'design'? I don't see where I can toggle it on either. …

Does anyone know of a way to verify the numbers we're getting for earthwork? Either by EAV or prismoidal? I have lobbed the question out here before, but the only way I know to check is to check the drawing cross section model and use the 'flood' option…

For Earthwork Design in MX Road , I came across a minor option 359: Create SLD earthworks string: Height Criteria I mostly use option 259, But I did not know what is SLD ...and how the option 359 different from option 259. Request for your kind help…

Hi, While exporting Cross sections to dwg format, EAV Table values are showing 0 in dwg file. Please suggest any solution for this error. Thanks in advance, Mintu Mondal

Hi, I'm having trouble getting an output with end area volumes report. I'm comparing two terrain surfaces rather than a corridor but can't see that would be a problem, the cut/fill mesh looks fine. I'm working in the following sequence and can see that…

Hello, I have situation where I don't think I can accurately model the existing conditions with a DTM. DTM definition meaning 1 Z value for a pair of XY coordinates. Well, picture the face of a cliff, there may be several Z values for one XY coordinate…

Using the Create Cut Fill Volumes tool, I've successfully figured out how to incorporate not only cut and fill, but existing topsoil stripping, existing pavement removal, rock excavation, and proposed topsoil - all in one shot. It's quite convenient.…

I have produced cut/fill tadpoles in open-roads however when I export the model to .dwg the tadpoles export as straight lines. I have tried messing around with the output settings to no avail.

Per subject - is there a method to split excavation and fill per the proposed model? In the cross section viewer you are able to see the cut and fill graphic easily but I would like to view them from the top and split them for wetland impact purpose.…

does anyone have suggestions for best workflow to create an existing pavement terrain? I want to reference it to my earthwork files in order to calculate unsuitable. I tried extracting the same 3D graphics that I thought were used to create the overall…

Hello- does anyone know why after running earthwork in ORD, I can't get the cut fill text nor graphics to show up in my XSEC model? I do see the shapes that are generated in my 3D file, but the fill doesn't show up either, even though it is turned on…

I am running InRoads SS4. I am trying to calculate cut but only in a certain part of the road. I have changed my template so I can ignore the components I need to in order to get that certain section. My issue is the following: there is a column in the…

We are facing New issues with ORD using ProjectWise, losing point controls if we check in and reopen the same file. i am controling my points from refrence files

Join me and Joe Waxmonsky, OpenRoads product manager, for the next OpenRoads Special Interest Group virtual workshop, Moving to OpenRoads Designer – Earthwork and Quantities . Complimentary, one-hour sessions are set for September 12, 2018 at 9 a.m. EDT…

Hi, In Open RoadsDesigner, how to separately calculate the earthworks volume? The model has 3 terrains (existing top surface, strong weathering rock layer, and medium weathering rock layer). See the following screenshots: But, in the Component…
