I am creating cross section sheets, and when I create the sheets, in the Create Drawing window, I change the name of the first Sheet Model to the first sheet number, "X1". I'd like the drawing models and the saved views to remain as the station of the…

I would like to be able to annotate slopes manually using the civil labeler. (Or any tool, really). Any text favorite I use gives me a slope of zero percent. I can only seem to find one that lets me select by element, not 2 points. Either would be…

The latest dgnlib has colors of multiple concrete Features as some shade of grey. In Dynamic Sections, this works well to differentiate between different materials; however, in Cross Section sheets, this leads to greyscaled components that are washed…

I am attempting to create a new annotation group(s) to function with the new feature definitions I created for Phased construction. I needed to customize the DGNLIB a bit and configure to read from my edited file for the library. Everything seems to be…

this might be a simple fix, i just can find it but how do we turn off the material from the cross section. i have other cross sections with just the line work.

Hello all, I've cut cross-section sheets off the alignment at 25' increments (urban job). After having gotten the cross-sections to self annotate things such as existing fence lines, driveway slopes, and existing buildings via the annotation groups…

When I cut my cross sections, I had my curb return model referenced into the sheets as they were cut, and they have even been annotated with the Drawing Model Annotation tool. Now that I need to print the sheets, the curb return model is turned off in…

Is it possible to split a template and add something in between a single pavement section template? In this particular case I am trying to add a raised median to a section that was made for a flush median. Instead of rebuilding the template I would like…

Has anybody come up with a way to prevent the stacking (or bunching) of Cross Section Annotations in the Annotation Group Settings? One way I have used in the past is setting specific ITL points within the Annotation Group to label, but that only works…

I am trying to get excavation cut and fill quantities for a project. There will be a section of the terrain that will be cut and then there will be a fill placed on top of that. I'm trying to figure out what tools to use to achieve this. Would I create…

I'm going insane trying to figure this out, I'm pretty sure this is the easiest fix in the world but I'm just too ignorant. I have two surfaces, one is from an old survey and one is a new one. All I want to do is overlay them, display cut and fills…

Hello, Typically, we use the points from the template for slope, so i was thinking to use the points for the width annotation. However, our workspace does not have an existing "width" annotation group so I am unsure how to add the expression to annotate…

ORD CE Version 2021 Release 1 While creating cross sections, our Texas office is encountering issues with the overlap of annotations in the sheet view. If you were to go to the model view all is fine. Does anyone know: Why is this occuring? I…

I notice that if I add ORD Cross Section sheet models to a Sheet Index and/or a Print Organizer pset that they default to Rasterized. Plan or Plan-Profile, etc. default to non-rasterized (Rasterized box NOT checked). Rasterized plots turn out a little…

Is it possible to export Openroads Cross Section sheets to the DWG model space instead of as sheets in the DWG as seen below?

I am using Open Roads Designer (2021 Release 2) 10.10.21.04, FDOT connect. The issue I have been having is that I designed a whole drainage network, had cut cross sections and was labeling the cross sections. I noticed yesterday when I am looking at…

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a way to tweak XS Annotation Groups so that my slope label comes out as a ratio? I know it picks up the even ratios (like 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, etc.). Is there a way to label the slope as an uneven ratio, say 1:3.6? …

I am trying to create cross section sheets. However only one sheet got created and only the first cross section was added to the sheet. It also did not annotate any of the cross sections. How do I fix this?

Hi, I am creating cross section sheet the value of lane slope is roundoff like 2.36% to 2.4%. How can i edit and precise my lane slope value in cross section sheet. Thanks

I have existing utilities files that have feature definitions assigned in both alignment and profile and the profiles for the alignments are active. The feature definitions have an element template defined that have a cel associated with the point. The…

Hello, I am looking for some specific help with a cross section grid annotation issue that my coworker and I are experiencing. We have both recently transitioned from V8i to ORD CE 2021 R2 and have been scouring the forum (and google) for specific…

Hello, For several days I had problem with change slope on road ramp. I checked definition of superelevation section, lanes and transition. Also I checked templete library and top pavement have 3 points with correct cointraints and superelevation flag…

How I can create custom cross-section bands in open road designer like showing the yellow area in the attached image? in the workspace where I can find the setting for it?

Hi has anyone seen this before? we have random diagonal lines appearing in long and cross sections from our drainage networks. the diagonal lines appear to be connected in some way to the MHs (ie when you select one of the lines it lists it as a drainage…

I've search high and low and am not able to find any documentation on "Annotation Filters" and how the "expressions" work. There's nothing in OpenRail Designer Help Website about Annotation Filters or Cross Section Frame Annotation. Does anybody…
