I have a question on geometry edits in ORD 10.12.02.04 (2022R3). I know that OpenRoads’ design intent and rules were intended to be timesavers. But I’ve reached a point where – after trying to make extremely simple edits to a horizontal geometry – they…

In Geopak, the place ST Tangent to Curve tool allowed users to input the bearing direction for the tangent. What is the easiest way to accomplish this in ORD?

So this is more of a commentary rather than a question. we are still new to ORD and ran into the issues of wanting the detour vertical and mainline vertical to show on the same profile. Projected profiles are obviously not sufficient as they truncate…

I am using Uk standards Library for designing Stormwater drains. How do I add a new Feature definition/ Cell Library which is not in the Cell Library for a new Chamber (image attached for reference) in ORD. I tried using the Add New Template option and…

This error keeps showing up when i am trying to trim the elements in my model. What could be the possible reason ? Thanks in advance

I am attempting to profile the gutter line for an intersection return. One one end of the return I want the profile to match the existing gutter line, and on the other end of the return I want the profile to match the proposed gutter line from my corridor…

How to Split Horizontal and Vertical Alignments into Two Separate Alignments with maintain corridor?

Hi Guys, I cant figure out how to correct station intervals in my production profile sheet . After using chainage equation, ahead station of my profile showing unevenly. Regards , Lalit

Good Morning. I'm having an issue getting OpenRoads to grade a basin in the manner I want to grade a basin. What I want to do is take a element provided from another team member; for instance, an edge of sidewalk or a edge of shoulder (a 3D element…

For some reason, I cannot get my profile to display. It starts out like the first picture then i had to zoom in (a lot!) to get to the station range of my alignment as in picture 2. It use to show up with the entire proposed profile and ground line. if…

I am using OpenRoads Designer CE 2021 Release 1 for an urban roadway project that utilizes a lot of custom Civil Cells for driveways. Today I deleted one of the driveway Civil Cells and replaced it by using new reference graphics. Everything seemed to…

I am attempting to use the Complex By Elements tool to create vertical geometry. When I try to select my first element, I get the error message, "Element not valid for tool". I am in what appears to be a 2D view. I cannot use plan by 3D element on the…

Bentley, I think you should task one of your employees to design a real project with OpenRoads Designer. Which means modeling a roadway project then after corridors are created start modifying the alignments. This includes extending alignments , removing…

I'm kinda new to OpenRoads. I've been using Civil 3D for a few years but now I'm trying to build a workflow with Bentley software. My question is: Is there a way to create a set of rules regarding geometry (maximum and minimun radius, tangents lenght…

Hi I am a designer in NSW, Australia. I am currently trying to develop a civil cell for a median island at a signalised intersection, but I am encountering some trouble getting a single radius median nose to work as I intend it due to greyed out snaps…
