• Is it possible to compute the hydraulic data for lateral pipes?

    I am designing a storm sewer system with a 12x12 box down the middle of a road and curb inlets connected via 24" laterals. I need the link summary data for the lateral pipes for plan production, but ORD/DU doesn't seem to compute this data when created…
  • [OpenRoads 2022 Release 1] Drainage And Utilities: Can You Compute Runoff Coefficients In Manually Delineated Drainage Areas?

    I've just started to analyze hydrology data in OpenRoads Designer, and I'm wondering if there is a way to compute a composite runoff coefficient in a catchment I drew by hand rather than one auto-delineated by an inlet node. I know this is relatively…
  • Inserting a bend for an already-modeled pipe in ORD CE 2022 release 2.

    When trying to insert a bend on the pipe, I noticed that in the new version of the ORD 2022_2 we do not have this option to choose from when clicking on a pipe: In 2021 there was: I know I can alternative press "ctrl" and insert a bend, but…

    Is there a way to update profile runs created from the "Hydraulic Run from Node"? I am modeling a Drainage pipe network and several catch basin locations have been moved slightly in plan and have different inverts. I already had these profile runs on…
  • Best way to create utilities from many data points

    I have roughly 800 points with northing, easting, elevation, depth below grade, stationing, and offset from my alignment information. The depth below grade varies from point to point otherwise the solution would be quite simple. There are roughly 8-10…
  • Is there a way to set the cover depth (with respect to active terrain) for utility (Electrical Conduit) once it has been created in OpenRoads ?

    I know that we can do this while using the command "Extract from Graphics", but, is there a way to reset the cover depth once after creation of the conduit.
  • ORD Drainage & Utilities - Questions and Observations (ORD v10.16.2.267)
