Does anyone know of a way to verify the numbers we're getting for earthwork? Either by EAV or prismoidal? I have lobbed the question out here before, but the only way I know to check is to check the drawing cross section model and use the 'flood' option…

Hi Everyone, I am currently trying to export my cross sections from open roads designer to DWG auto cad format. However no matter what setting I try on my export the DWG files seem to contain the 3D model (as shown) I have tried disabling 3D settings…

Hey, Has anyone else ran into this problem? I'm using the same cross section annotation on every one of my models, and sometimes the EAV table populates and other times the EAV table does not populate on the cross section. It will be along the same…

Hi, While exporting Cross sections to dwg format, EAV Table values are showing 0 in dwg file. Please suggest any solution for this error. Thanks in advance, Mintu Mondal

I am struggling with the annotation in my cross section sheets. I have a lot of questions, listed below, if I can get answers to any one of them that would be greatly appreciated! Here is a sample of my XS. 1. I have the same template drop for…

We’re trying to label our cross sections, and we are using a preset annotation group. For some reason we cannot get the tie in slopes to display. We tried using the “create list of segments tool” and that doesn’t seem to work right either. When I apply…

Hello I am working in ORD for the first time and cannot find any tools that were similar to the Cross Section Navigator tools that were available in ss10. Are there any tools that I can use to create working lines in the cross section view? We want to…

Hello, I am trying to annotate an element in my cross-sections so that it updates automatically when my corridor changes. Specifically, I am trying to annotate the bottom elevation of a swale so that when the elevation changes, the label moves with…

All, Is there a way to annotate more than one terrain in Cross Sections? Thanks

Currently, I have my existing utility lines in 2d view with a feature definition and plotted them at an assumed depth of 3' below existing ground in profile view and set as active profile. Typically, in SS4 and SS10 this worked in terms of displaying…

Hello, I am using ORD CE 10.08.01.33. I have a cross section DGN where I created 10 named boundary cross sections (at separate individual stations). The cross section DGN references several DGNs with corridors, surfaces and parametric solids. All of…

Hi everybody! Is it possible in ORD to create a single station cross section in a similar way as in PowerCivil? In PowerCivil you have the option of ticking the box "Single Station" when creating cross sections via the "Corridor Cross-Sections - Task…

This seems like this should be simple, but I can't figure it out. In GEOPAK SS2 is use Roadway Designer to model the proposed design, and I actually used an old criteria file that used the Draw Trace command to show existing pavement 3" below the existing…

Hi! I have looked on the video Create XS Sheet with End Area Volumes Annotation on the Wiki-page and I have some questions. I have now done a little test-project with rock. How do I get that value to show in the table in the cross sections? And all…

I am having several issues when trying to perform a geographic coordinate system transform on reference files in ORD. We are working on a very large project in Philadelphia which is the NAD83 coordinate system using the NAVD88 vertical datum. All of our…

Hi All I am try to figure out if there are ways possible to output cross section in Openroads Designer as per the native / traditional layout we had in SS4. I.e output to one model view but with multiple sheets From this output, our CAD team would…

does anyone have suggestions for best workflow to create an existing pavement terrain? I want to reference it to my earthwork files in order to calculate unsuitable. I tried extracting the same 3D graphics that I thought were used to create the overall…

I was using Openroad Designer to design for Horizontal and Vertical geometry, however when i try to view 3D this error occur and im not able to view in 3D. Im new to this software, do anyone come across this error as well ?

Hi all, I've got a request to from a client to get all of our cross section data exported to excel. What I would like to see is Linear Features, Design Level, Existing Level at Chainage CH100 Does anyone know of any existing reports that do this,…

I am a bit confused of named boundaries behavior. If cross sections are created using "Place Named Boundary tool" creating multiple cross sections all the annotations work and cross section looks more or less as expected: Completely different view…

Is there a way in ORD to cut cross sections at different intervals for an alignment depending on a horizontal curve/spiral verses a tangent? The cross section workflow appears to utilize the same interval regardless of the horizontal geometry object type…

Hello, can anyone from Bentley tell me if this "Enhancement 394214:Add Multipoint Option to Create Cross Sections" was ever implemented in InRoads and also OpenRoads Designer? If so, what is it called in OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition Release 2…

I am in the process of creating the templates required to generate cross section sheets, and I am tesing these on a design file. When I edit the .dgnlibs (both sheet seeds and feature deffinitions for annotation groups) and then return to the design…

Hi, is there a way to enable margins between cross sections stacked horizontally in a single sheet in ORD (please see image). This was possible with SS2.
