• adding additional info to the terrain file causes the profile to be moved

    I requested additional survey to be done for me project. The surveyor added the csv data into the field book for my terrain file. This caused my current vertical profile to be dramatically shifted from where it should have been. Is there a way to avoid…
  • "Label Terrain Contours" up the slope seems to be broken?

    Hello, I am using OpenRoads Designer CE 2022 Release 1 . The tool " Label Terrain Contours ", when choosing " Up Slope " the results are buggy, see screenshot below. I would expect that the text annotations are placed aligned with the contour and…
  • Creating a terrain from a point cloud without point classification

    I have a large point cloud attached to my file that has point shots for everything on the same classification. Therefore, I cannot turn off everything besides the ground shots to create a terrain surface for the existing ground of my project area. When…
  • Create Terrain Model From Fieldbook Selection Set - Error

    We are having an issue creating a terrain model from a field book selection set with ORD 2021R2. At first, I thought the issue related to the link below regarding right-clicking to select multiple field books. However, when attempting to right-click on…
  • Error While Creating Graphical Terrain Filters - Object Reference not set to an Instance of an Object

    While working with Graphical Terrain Filters, I keep encountering this "Object Reference not set to an Instance of an Object" error that, once closed, seems to break the connection of the Filter dialogue to the file/workspaces properties for filter building…
  • Terrain Modeling- Dealing with Edge of Boundary Spikes and other erroneous Terrain Features

    I was hoping not to have to add to my long list of posts on here regarding Terrain Model but alas, here I am again, this time with pictures and mock-able examples of probably what not to do, and looking forward to some of your awesome responses that have…
  • 2D contours from terrain file

    Hello, I have a 3-mile corridor that was modelled in ORD, there were 4 models. I created a combined terrain with all the proposed models and added it to my existing ground to create a final surface. I want to display contours only in a 2D plan veiw…
  • Terrain Models from Graphical Filters- Isolating Elements

    How does one create Terrain Models from Graphical Filters, from individual items within a reference file, but not have the connecting triangle to each element (that are separated by distance in this case). I have a Boundary Element setup in my Filter…
  • How to decrease the density of triangles in a terrain model on Openroads

    Good morning, I have created a terrain model with an XYZ file which has a grid of points every 2.5m. These points generate too many triangles and the model is too heavy. I wanted to ask if there is an automatic process to reduce the number of points or…
  • Profile view: terrain model breaking up when complex alignment exceeds a certain length

    Hey, I recently got my hands on OpenRoads Designer 2022. My issue is as follows: When I create a complex alignment and open a profile view with an active terrain model, the terrain model appears to be fragmented (see pic). This happens when the alignment…
  • Analyze Pond - No Results

    I am working in MicroStation Power GEOPAK V8i. I have a terrain file, existing ground, corridors, etc. all working no problem. I am attempting to model in a detention pond for a storm sewer design. The current iteration for the "pond" will be a detention…
  • Drape surface command ORD equivalent?

    I am creating a proposed terrain model, working in a 3D model file. I want to drape some linework on to another terrain model so that they pick up its elevations, as the drape surface command worked in InRoads. These new lines cross existing features…
  • How to make one terrain model that covers 2 or more unconnected areas

    When I import a DTM file that has several unconnected ditches in the same terrain model extra triangles are created to connect the areas. This gives incorrect volumes in quantity calculations. The same happens when I try to create the terrain model…
  • Terrain Model showing skewed in Cross section cut in OpenRoads

    Good Morning! One of our designers is trying to cut cross sections in Open Roads Designer. The entire terrain model is showing in sort of a skewed view instead of just showing the existing ground at the cross section being cut. Any ideas of why this happened…
  • Pond with Sloped Bottom

    I am using OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition 2021 Release 1. I am trying to model a pond with a sloped bottom. I created a corridor around of the top of the pond and used a template with a constant slope and an end condition which extends to a bottom…
  • Problems using "Ground Extraction" in OpenRoads

    Hi, I've created a .3mx file using ContextCapture, and now I've attached it to my OpenRoads model and I've been trying to generate a terrain from it (.tin file) I've tried to follow the instructions given in this video: https://communities.bentley…
  • LiDAR (.las) files in CONNECT

    I am not seeing the option in CONNECT to reproject a .las file like there was in SS10. I am able to right mouse click once attached and change the GeoCS, but is there a way to do that prior to importing the point cloud?
  • Template (*.ITL) Component, Which Does NOT Effect the Active Terrain

    Not having a large background in creating corridor templates, we are trying to build a template, which has a "sound wall" in it, as a component. However, we do not want the sound wall to influence the proposed terrain model, coming out of the proposed…
  • Can't change FD on Terrain model even in the actually designfile.

    Hi, I have recently updated my ORD to 2021 R2 update 10.10.21.04. Earlier on, I believe I could create a terrain by element and go to the explorer to change FD to another one? Like this: and then go to properties and change FD but now it is…

  • Multiple Surfaces Displayed in Cross Sections

    I merged two surfaces together to create the existing surface for my design. Upon cutting cross sections I see that both surfaces are displayed instead of just the merged surface. I'm new to OpenRoads (2020 Release 3). Is this caused by the way I merged…
