I started working on this project approximately a year ago with a previous ORD release and have now come back to it after our CADD Manager upgraded me to ORD CE - 2022 Release 3 (10.12.02.4). I went to adjust my Catchment Areas and received the attached…

Hello, I want to insert an embankment into my pond in ORD 2021 release 1. The enbankment should be on the elevation 27.90 and the bottom level is on the elevation 27. I already created a solid element that presents the embankment (pink one): …

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…

Does anyone know where do change the settings related to where the catchments see the grate location and dimensions? This is in OpenRoads Designer 2022 R1. In the example below I have a combination intake. The magenta catchment is linked to the intake…

Hello everyone, This is my first time making drainage profiles in OpenRoads Designer from a model that is imported from Civilstorm. My team and I seem to be experiencing quite a few issues with them and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered glitches…

Hello All, I started my drainage model by placing the network without adjusting any of the conduit inverts. However, when I want to change an invert whether it is the upstream or downstream invert, it does not change and will change back to the original…

Hello, I am currently placing inlets, to automate getting the longitudinal values. I am attaching a reference terrain to the inlets. I had merged my existing and proposed terrain into one combined final terrain. I am placing my inlets. The longitudinal…

Hi, I'm trying to update a storm drain invert in a SUDA model and it won't allow me to and is crashing. It is giving me a "System.NullReferenceException" I am trying to update it in the utility properties as I don't want it tied to the invert of the…

Is there a way to deactivate the Drainage and Utilities Design once its loaded into a basemap? I accidentally opened it in a file I didn't want it in and now it loads every time I get into my road modeling file. I have a different drainage basemap, so…

When I try to run my base analysis scenario, I get the following error message: 44008 "Base Analysis" "Catchment" "338" "1" (N/A) "The catchment is active but there is no outflow element specified, or the element is invalid or deleted. " Hydraulic…

Hello, I am operating OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition 2020 Release 3. I have a DGN file that is just a bunch of lines. These lines have elevations associated with them and are considered to be in an older vertical datum which I would like to update…

Hello, I am working on creating an existing drainage model. i drew an existing manhole and connected some 48" pipes to it. But the pipes are now way to big for that manhole structure. I want to make the bottom structure of the manhole bigger. …

Question regarding symbology for drainage nodes. Is it possible for a drainage node to have different symbology for the top and bottom? The reason for the question is that a project may require using an existing bottom structure and just replacing the…

I was wondering if theres a simpler way to replace a drainage node with a different node type. IE i have an existing drainage layout but want to swap an inlet to another type without deleting and replacing the node in the same location.

I am stuck with using InRoads cross-sections on a particular project, but I am considering re-creating the geometry and terrains in ORD and using ORD for the drainage design so I can take advantage of ORD efficiencies. But I must be able to display this…

How do you import and export hydraulic prototypes under Drainage and Utilities from one hydraulic seed file (.dgnlib) to another? I was able to export the inlet catalogs, but not the prototypes. I am working in OpenRoads Designer CE - 2021 Release 1.…

Hi, I wanted to show a multiple barrel culvert in OpenRoads. I updated it to "2" barrels in the Utility Properties and the invert elevation was not adjusted, but as you can see in the picture the 3D conduit is showing a vertical offset from the invert…

Hi there! I'm working with ORD Connect Version 10.09.00.91 This is my first project in ORD Connect as well as using the drainage and utilities model. My problem is that some of my proposed pipes show up in plan view while others do not. All pipes…

I'm working on a utility model that is crashing that has over 200 nodes defined. I was wondering if it was possible to export the nodes out and import them into a new file. I have tried the import/export utilities in Drainage and Utilities without …

Is ORD's Drainage Layout Catchment tool able to scan a catchment for elements drawn with certain symbology to automatically determine a composite C factor? GEOPAK Drainage did this quite well. I can't find any discussion of this in the help or in this…

Placing nodes along a model for an initial longitudinal layout( first attempt at ORD drainage) and when i attempt to place a gutter between the nodes I'm occasionally getting an error coming up which is stating that the Gutter sections does not have a…

Hello, I'm new to ORD and was looking for some training on Roadside Ditch Analysis. Bentley's LEARNserver has training videos and a PDF (Placing a Ditch and Culvert Network) which is great but, at the beginning of the training PDF, it specifies that…

I'm designing a drainage network in OpenRoads Designer. I added catchments to all my inlets and now when I go to run the design scenario, I get this error: . Before I added the catchments, I was able to run the scenario and get the normal report …

Is it possible to point ORD Drainage and Utilities to a network location for the Engineering Libraries? I would like to add some additional materials, add/modify inlet types, rainfall data, etc. I can see they all point to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\SUDA…

Hi, I'm having an issue where a deleted element appears to be stuck. In trying to compute a drainage model, I receive an error for a catchment which is no longer present. Looking through the project explorer, its definitely not present in the model;…
