I've been learning the alignment (horizontal and vertical) and geometry tools, creating useful relationships to enable easy changes later. The only thing I'm unsure about is the approach to making major changes to alignments and geometry. I know you…

Does anyone know how to plot a profile in reverse? The profile model displays left to right, and the client wants to see the profile as it will be constructed along the main alignment, so I need to plot this profile from right to left on the sheet.

Bentley, I think you should task one of your employees to design a real project with OpenRoads Designer. Which means modeling a roadway project then after corridors are created start modifying the alignments. This includes extending alignments , removing…

I have drawn horizontal elements to form a horizontal alignment in open roads. Normally, when you select such an alignment, orange text and orange cursors appear around the element so that you can manipulate it and the alignment. However, I get no such…

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…

I'm kinda new to OpenRoads. I've been using Civil 3D for a few years but now I'm trying to build a workflow with Bentley software. My question is: Is there a way to create a set of rules regarding geometry (maximum and minimun radius, tangents lenght…

hola de la misma manera que disponemos de la norma Americana y la de Reino Unido: existe un dgnlib la la norma española? la norma 3.1-IC Trazado. O tengo que modificar alguno de estos dgnlib y adaptarlo a nuestra norma? gracias!!

I would like to use the InRoads Bridge Geometry tools to quickly layout girders on a tightly curved bridge. This would be a very useful tool if I could get it to work. Instead of manually drawing girder lines and checking max/min deck overhang, max/min…

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…

Hi I am a designer in NSW, Australia. I am currently trying to develop a civil cell for a median island at a signalised intersection, but I am encountering some trouble getting a single radius median nose to work as I intend it due to greyed out snaps…

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…

Power InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09.04 In Geometry --> View Geometry --> Vertical Annotation I am trying to edit the cardinal point leader length, and it seems to be stuck at an arbitrary minimum of 300. Changing 'Segment 1' to a value of…

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…

I have a wide top of pavement surface and I want to drape about 50 linear feature lines to that surface. I am trying to drape lane lines, breaklines, island outlines and pavement lines to that surface. With ORD I can create a profile from surface several…

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.

Under the Properties for Elements in ORD there is an area titled Active3dByPlanProfileRule. I am at a loss as to what some of the variables mean. Are the variables listed in the help somewhere? I am endeavoring to do some site modelling. 1. Curve Stroking…

Is there a reason the superseded sections of alignments stay in the active drawing and cannot be deleted when using complex redefine? They seem to remain as a complex element and when I delete it affects the new alignment. Also, for a Bentley representative…

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'm trying to replicate the geometry created in native tools using OpenRoads Designer horizontal geometry tools. The task is to place an arc between straight and another arc. The arc I want to place has back and ahead spiral and must have the same…

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…
