Hi All, So upfront I'm still a new user for ORD and I'm learning the ropes. The problem I'm working on presently is figuring out the best way to make a line out of civil geometry that is perpendicular to another line and is also some certain distance…

Hi All, I'm new to using ORD and I'm trying to learn how all the stuff works. Today I encountered some unintuitive behavior with interactions between civil lines and not-civil lines. I was trying to trace overtop of a MicroStation line with a civil…

Hello- I am experiencing weirdness with my alignment/profile in OpenRoads Designer 2021 R1. I have a 3 mile trail with many horizontal and vertical curves. I know there may have been limitations with Geopak/V8i with the number of vertices in a profile…

Hello all, I'm attempting to create an offset horizontal civil geometry from a looped baseline (exit ramp alignment). However, the tool will not allow me to create the offset at the desired distance. I have a hunch that it has to do with the looping…

Hello All, I'm trying to trim a gap in a horizontal civil geometry element between two other civil geometries. From everything I've read in the help and in various Communities posts, the "Trim Multiple" should still work with civil geometries. In my…

Hello, There exists a setting or configuration variable which controls the functionality of gap elements (the hidden portion of intervals). Normally when you hover your element selection tool over a gap it will highlight and you can select the gap directly;…

Running the latest Geopak/ Inroads 08.11.09.845 and even though this version maintains a triangulated top surface in the background the profile from surface tool STILL creates a broken profile that will jump randomly from the top of the component to the…

Trying to Civilize some Microstation elements and some work and some fail to civilize and I am having to redraw. It would be very handy if civil Geometry was a View Attribute that I could toggle on/off. Terry

I want to simply move a line (Civil Geometry) parallel to itself for a distance defined by snapping to some other element. I don't see that there is a simply way to do this very basic thing. Move parallel... I don't want a copy, I want to move the existing…

I am running Microstation SS3 08.11.09.608 and Geopak SS4 08.11.09.788 When using Civil Message Center I can right click and choose to zoom to an error but if I try to right click and "add to selection" the software crashes. I have the simplest of files…

Not being able to see/display the profile of civil geometry from another file or model needs to be resolved. It is hard to make the case that this is better than the legacy products when something so simple is precluded. Also, we need the ability to…

When creating horizontal or vertical civil geometry we should have a toggle that will retain or not retain the "design intent". Having to go back and remove constraints and "re-civilize" elements is just a lot of extra clicks. Further design intent, and…

MicroStation 08.11.09.608 GEOPAK 08.11.09.722 This sequence crashes MicroStation every time in any file on any computer I've tried. Civil Tools / Horizontal Geometry / Arc Between Points Method: Start\End|Pass-through Snap to end of first element…

When importing an alignment with General Geometry Import, from a .gpk, one of my advanced users is getting a message stating "Horzontal contains too many elements for civil rule creation." What does this mean and what are the impacts? PowerGEOPAK SS3…

It does not appear that we can view two profiles in the same window. If I am wrong about this please advise me as to how I can accomplish this. This seems like a pretty common need/desire and if it is not currently accommodated, is it something that is…

Is there a way to create a simple arc via 3 tangents? So selecting a staight, arc, straight to create a horizontal curve. We can create this using microstation tools, followed by tracing with civil tools although we need to construct the geometry with…

I have a complex element where I have inserted a new HIP using the "Insert Vertex" under the main toolbar. I can't seem to find how to insert a horizontal curve with spiral transitions for this IP location? Thanks, Dan

HI, I have recently started using MX V8i SS2's civil geometry tools for my horizontal setout. One thing I am trying to do is to create reverse curve spirals. This is quite simple to achieve using MX's standard alignment tools, but I cannot…

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…
