Question:

When creating the cross sections sheets, only one cross section per sheet is created. Why?

Answer:

Possible causes:

You moved your reference in your sheet model and forgot to select your named boundary identifier and resnap the corners to the reference file.
In the _Civil Default Standards - Imperial.cfg/_Civil Default Standards - Metric.cfg (found here: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\Organization-Civil) you need to adjust the Cross Section Sheet Spacings and Margins Settings config variables.
# Cross Section Sheet Spacings and Margins Settings
#====================================================================================
# Units are in Sheet master units(feet or meters)
# NOTE: ALL 4 variables must be set for them to be used.
#
# CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_RT_TO_LT_SPACING - If multiple cross sections can fit in the same
# row moving from left to right, this variable defines the horizontal spacing between
# the adjacent cross section boundaries.

# CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_TOP_TO_BOT_SPACING - If multiple sections can fit in the same
# column moving from bottom to top, this variable defines the vertical spacing between
# the adjacent cross section boundaries.

# CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_SIDE_MARGIN - Each cross section is tested in the horizontal direction
# to determine if it will fit on the sheet and still allow this variable to be met. This
# distance is measured from the right edge of the cross section clipping boundary to the
# right edge of the sheet model edge. If the computed distance is less than this variable,
# a new cross section sheet model will be generated for the next cross section.

# CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_TOP_MARGIN - Each cross section is tested in the vertical direction
# to determine if it will fit on the sheet and still allow this variable to be met.
# This distance is measured from the top edge of the cross section clipping boundary to
# the top edge of the sheet model edge. If the computed distance is less than this variable,
# a new column of cross sections will be started if adequate space is available.
# Otherwise, a new cross section sheet model will be generated for the next cross section.
In the sheet model, the border origin is set to something other than 0,0.
