  • ORD - Changing Curve Radii is Moving Curve PIs/Geometry Edit Challenge

    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…

  • alignment start point as pi and end point as pi

    Hi .. Personally I prefer the point names as they are, start and end. A retro standard used by some teams here name the start and end as PI's. For example, a road with 2 horizontal curves - start point would be PI-1, PI at curve one is PI-2, PI at…

  • Is there a way to turn a complex alignment into a singular piece of geometry or hide/ remove the rules that make up the alignment so the corridor isn't as crowded?

    I've created an alignment from complex horizontal geometry by drawing line geometry between survey points. So my alignment has 560 lines (which it doesn't need). I want it to be as accurate as possible but not have all these extra PI when designing. Is…

  • Geometry update based on update in Alignment.

    I built geometry based on an alignment. I moved the alignment 3.5'. The geometry should shift along with the alignment right? When I open the design file, where I have all my geometry, the geometry doesn't move. The inside edge of pavement (EOP) on either…
