I created a custom drainage node. I want it to skew and shift it orientation with respect to the inlet. I changed the rotation and location of the bottom cell with respect to the alignment line and the point, however the cell translation has not updated…
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,
Is there a way to turn off the feature where when you modify a vertices of a drainage catchment ( in the drainage and utilities workflow) it modifies all catchments with that shared line. It is a difficult feature to work with because a lot…
Hi,
Is there a way to model roadside ditches conveying overflow discharges to inlets (grate inlets) downstream that are a part of a storm drain system of an open section road without curbs. I could only find information about Curb/gutter. there are…
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…
For ORD Drainage design, what is the difference between Scaled length vs 3D and Unified length? Which length value is being utilized to compute the system results?
I am currently using OpenRoads Designer to lay out some drainage networks. We have a few flumes in our system. The flumes need to extend behind sidewalk, however the default length of the node placed cannot be edited.
Would we have to create new nodes…
*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…
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…
My group is new to ORD and we're developing plan and profile sheets with annotation for the pipes and structures. I've developed labels with fields that read data from pipes and structures like the diameter and length, these appear to require the fields…
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…
Whenever I click on "Utility Properties" for a catchment it does not show the Utility Properties Dialog Box. It doe not matter if I do it directly or through Properties Dialog Box. Utility Properties will show for Nodes and Conduits. Does anybody know…
Hi,
I am creating a text favorite which will be used to annotate a Storm Pipe. When creating the text favorite and I'm prompted to select the pipe properties to be included, there seems to be some issues.
Length (Construction) seems to be the pipe…
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;…
I have an issue where the thickness of my typical section has changed and would like to adjust all my inlets on my project making them 6 inches deeper. is there a way to quickly do this? I have tried editing them one at time in the flex tables and in…
Hi. I’m hoping someone else has some experience with this in Open Roads Designer Connect Edition.
There are some “ghost” elements in a file that is preventing me from running hydraulic analysis. If I run a "validate" or "compute" I end up It says that…
Hi,
Looking into using OpenRoads Designer for UK drainage design, are there libraries for Sewers for Adoption compatible manholes/pipes? If not, would it be easy to design from scratch?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm exploring the functionality on OpenRoads Technology on MXRoad (Inroads and Geopak is not favourable in Malaysia),
I came across to design the drainage portion and stuck, I can't find any specific tool to design the drainage,
Please advise…
Experts!
I'm trying to get incremental volume information out of a pond terrain that I've created in GEOPAK SS3 to develop a Stage-Storage table for pond routing in PondPack. I've reviewed the analysis tools and can't seem to find any way to do this…
