Using ORD 2021R1 When working in geometry, is there a way to stop the selected Design Standard from dropping in the toolbar if you do absolutely anything other than continuously create geometry? Thanks Euan

I am using Uk standards Library for designing Stormwater drains. How do I add a new Feature definition/ Cell Library which is not in the Cell Library for a new Chamber (image attached for reference) in ORD. I tried using the Add New Template option and…

I recently jumped to a new role doing infrastructure visualisation and was given a large highway project in ORD and OBM to export and eventually run through a renderer. After getting through the huge host of issues exporting from OpenRoad entails (Did…

Wow,... I could whip this stuff out in InRoads SS2 ... but I digress (it's a bad habit of mine these days living in a COGO world) I cannot figure out a way to layout Point #9 in this diagram. I've laid out Point #6 (the POB), Point #7 (the curve PC…

I've been working on the layout of a subdivision and can't get the InRoads Locate tools out of my skull. Those things were a beautiful set of tools for laying out COGO Points. So, does anyone know how I can do a very simple Direction - Alignment intersection…

I am attempting to profile the gutter line for an intersection return. One one end of the return I want the profile to match the existing gutter line, and on the other end of the return I want the profile to match the proposed gutter line from my corridor…

How to Split Horizontal and Vertical Alignments into Two Separate Alignments with maintain corridor?

Hi Guys, I cant figure out how to correct station intervals in my production profile sheet . After using chainage equation, ahead station of my profile showing unevenly. Regards , Lalit

Good Morning. I'm having an issue getting OpenRoads to grade a basin in the manner I want to grade a basin. What I want to do is take a element provided from another team member; for instance, an edge of sidewalk or a edge of shoulder (a 3D element…

I built geometry based on an alignment. I moved the alignment 3.5'. The geometry should shift along with the alignment right? When I open the design file, where I have all my geometry, the geometry doesn't move. The inside edge of pavement (EOP) on either…

*Edit: I am using OpenRoads Designer 2020 R3 I have a spreadsheet that requires the drainage areas for a ditch to be input every 50 feet right and left along an alignment. The “manual” method I would use to accomplish this would be to use the measure…

Hi I'm using Power Geopak V8i SS10. Very new user. I am working on modeling an intersection. I have laid out a pavement/wearing surface with edge of pavement lines. I applied my curb & gutter/sidewalk/tie as a linear template to EOP lines. When adjusting…

I have a dgn file containing an alignment with vertical geometry referenced into a work file. I would like to create a profile of the geometry in my work file, the problem is that the profile view only shows the vertical geometry. It does not show a line…

Hi, everyone, I built an Horizontal Alignment using "Complex by PI" option. At a certain point, I wanted to edit it with the Table Editor. When I positionned my cursor over the alignment, I had the message: "Complex Geometry must be PI Based". Why is…

When laying out geometry with Civil AccuDraw, and using Station-Offset, isn’t the exact keyed-in reference / Origin geometry Station supposed to be a Rule? So if the beginning Station of the alignment changes on the reference geometry, the new geometry…

If I am getting a DWG file from preliminary design and after importing the DWG file to OpenRoads, how can I convert the Polyline of proposed alignment to the horizontal alignment and change its feature definition as per requirement?

How Can we Track the level difference between two Line in profile e.g. Ground Level line and Design line or between any two profile line in Open roads like we can track during the Vertical design in MX road.

When I reference Openroad files in which I have drawn geometry lines to the old program (PowerCivil V8i), so others in the office can help with the drawing, the PowerCivil Program crashes. Is there a way to export the geometry lines as purely graphical…

Issue: In ORD Update 2, I get the below error when using Export Geometry, Export Type: MX Genio Workflow: Openroads Modeling > Geometry > Export Geometry > MX Genio Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

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…

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. I am trying to place a Complex by PI geometry by snapping to existing elements, but I do not want my snaps or existing geometry included as dependencies. How can I use snap and still get a "dead" geometry? And is there any tool for editing existing…

I have used the Import Geometry feature to import several horizontal alignments from the project's gpk file in order to create superelevation sections. Which is working fine, however, some of these alignment have been redefined in the gpk and the changes…

When creating an alignment on powercivil SS3 using the civil tools, object manipulators disappear when the alignment is very long, only manipulators for PI's remain and the ones for radius, lines, etc do not show except for the first few elements. Has…

Using OpenRoads, it's easy to find out which element a given element is dependent on horizontally - and to change that reference association to a different element if necessary. How do you do the same for vertical geometry? For example, if I select…
