Hello, I have 2 users, both using OpenRoads Designer CONNECT. User A has been using it since a really early version and gets his updates through CONNECT Client most of the time. User B just had the latest version (Update 4) installed for the first…

I am trying to calculate volumes of different layers of asphalt and different layers of groundwork. I've created a template which contains all these layers, where the final groundwork layer is variable (slopes and ramps or not). In my template this layer…

I am trying to make my corridor follow a line from a reference by a point control. However after selecting the corridor and all the properties I have to select a Plan Element. I can't select the line I want it to follow because "The element has no name…

Hello! I`m thinking to change PowerCivil SS4 to Openroads Designer. Is it possible to annotate vertical geometry and profile like it is using Inroads tools?

Hi everybody I am desperately trying to export out my ConceptStation file to OpenRoads Designer to work on it further and with more tools. I followed the instructions on the wiki on exporting but I get an "export failed" error on just the .ird template…

Hi all, Do Openroads Designer updates appear on CONNECTION client? If not, any idea when that will be a regular occurrence. Also, any change log for those of us awaiting additional features/functionality? Regards, Mark

Is anyone else experiencing massive delay in using the Customize Ribbon dialog in ORD? Using it is fine, but actually opening it takes a while. I am also having a very lengthy wait (5 minutes+) for it to apply menu changes. My version of Microstation…

Hi all, Is there any way at all to identify geometry that has been imported into OR SS4 or ORD? There doesn't seem to be anything anywhere to let the user know it has been imported and has a relationship to an external source. It would be quite useful…

I've noticed Design History is enabled again after being disabled in SS3/4 - does this mean it is good to go for ORD? It would be fantastic if so. Testing it, it seems to be working correctly for Microstation elements but crashes when using it for…

Hi all, I have been trying to use Microstation Connect Constraints with OpenRoads Designer geometry with no apparent issues except having to nudge the geometry (by slightly extending, moving, etc.) to sync the OpenRoads geometry (ie. 3d) with the…

Hi all, Does anyone know if wildcards are possible in the ORD Annotation Filter for properties like Feature definition, Feature name, etc? It seems that each feature name or definition needs to be explicitly defined and not even feature definition…

Hi all, Upon adding my SS4 OpenRoads reports into ORD I have realised there has been an XSL format change. Nothing major, but enough to require editing of all pre-existing report XSLs to work with ORD. This includes an understandable replacement…

Hi all, I have some 3d linestyles that include mesh components that don't seem to display at all in ORD - they work fine in SS4 and Microstation Connect (update 4). Other 3d linestyles that just include shapes/lines etc. come in okay. They have always…

Hi all, I know its still early days but will any OpenRoads SDK data/examples be released with ORD any time soon? eg. SS4 examples in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Civil\SDK Examples\. Seeing as OR is no longer an add-on this would help the industry add…

Hi all, As a lot of us have quite a number of established feature definitions in our SS4 workspaces, can these feature definitions be used or migrated to ORD without recreating the whole lot? Understandably native styles will be gone but we already…
