Assigning volume or substrata feature definition for closed meshes generated from Leapfrog, imported in dgn format, on OpenRoads.
Can I assign 'volume' or substrata feature definition for closed meshes generated from Leapfrog, imported in dgn format, on OpenRoads? Imported meshes have volume greyed out in properties. I need to run cut and fill volume report for substrata based on…
Neat solution for trimming earthworks
I'm trying to get a clean trim between earthworks which are not tangential.
The scenario is that I have a footway corridor and on the back of it is a separate earthworks linear template (references the back line in the corridor) because the back of…
Corridor Modelling - Is there a way to show staggered components?
Hello!
Just doing some earthwork modelling in OpenRail and was wondering if there was a way to show components stagged within a template drop?
For context i'm trying to model soil nails at 1m spacings into a cutting and i'm trying to model the nails…
is there a way to generate the slope like this using mxroad ?
Hi everyone, is there a way to generate both the cut and fill slope when it comes to terrain like this ? The problem is the ground treatment level varies from chainage to chainage, and mxroad allows input for one level datum where i can set where my fill…

Splitting up a design for a 4D simulation
Hi all
We're looking into incorporating the 3D models created by corridors into a BIM environment - specifically the 4D construction/ phasing simulation. From ORD 2018 Release 4.
What is the best way to export the model in sections for this purpose…
ORD Earthworks volumes
Hi,
I am looking for a method to calculate more complex cut/fill volumes with Openroads Designer update 2. This could be easily done with EAV methods, now it seems more cumbersome as EAV tools are not included in the software package anymore. I am aware…
Earthqorks Wizard - creating a ditch at the foot of a fill embankment
I am using MXROAD v8I Select Series 4. When using earthworks wizard I have created a style file for a ditch to be formed in both a cut or fill situation. In cut MX forms the ditch but in fil it never creates the reuired ditch. Can any explain where I…
MX V8i SS4 - Calculating Earthworks
Dear OpenRoads Experts, Is there a way to prompt OpenRoads to calculate earthworks as shows on the sketches below? I was examining many possible settings in End Area Volume tool and can't get my head around it. In InRoads SS2 it was easily achievable…
Create surface from Template - but turns out funny
I created a design surface from the Modeller but the dtm looks funny.
the red line does not match to the component and is crooked.
can anyone advise why this happens? and how can i avoid this?
many thanks.
GEOPAK Road Tools Earthworks Error

MX Volumes (from input) vs Volumes (from MX Pavement and Subgrade Design...)
Hi all,
I was evaluating my volumes reports generated from "Pavement and Subgrade Design.." from within MX menu with volumes generated by input files. I found some inconsistency which was caused by fact that some strings are not extended - I designed…
