For a while now, curves in ORD have not been rendering as smooth curves but instead as line segments. For example, see the vertical curves on profile below. Any thoughts on how to fix this? This is happening in 10.11.00.115 (2022 R1) as well as 10…

So this is more of a commentary rather than a question. we are still new to ORD and ran into the issues of wanting the detour vertical and mainline vertical to show on the same profile. Projected profiles are obviously not sufficient as they truncate…

I want to create profile sheet strip grade elevations, of which the existing elevation is targeted "offset from the horizontal geometry by 12 feet". The situation is for a divided highway. We have a mainline geometry (down the middle median), with stationing…

Hello, In InRoads SS2 there was a Tool to create a Vertical Alignment from a Horizontal Alignment and a surface: File > Import > Geometry > Vertical from Surface . Can anyone recommend a OpenRoads procedure that's close to this InRoads SS2 procedure…

Hi. I'm using PowerCivil. Is it possible to switch off automatic corridor updating while editing vertical alignment? I mean - I have tons of superelevation sections and point controls, which slows down me every time I move vertical alignment's vertexes…

Hi All- Looking for some advice on altering ORD Horizontal Geometry already tied to a Vertical profile and a terrain model without causing a hard crash of the program? The reason I am altering geometry at all like this is to size basins to a desired…

I am attempting to use the Complex By Elements tool to create vertical geometry. When I try to select my first element, I get the error message, "Element not valid for tool". I am in what appears to be a 2D view. I cannot use plan by 3D element on the…

I created a complex profile using the Profile Complex by PI tool. How do I add a vertical curve that is part of the profile and is not a separate element?

Hello, I'm running Power Geopak V8i SS4 and I'm having an issue. I have an alignment file. In a separate file, I referenced in the alignment and created an offset alignment and created a corridor off the offset alignment. Now I have referenced the corridor…

Hi, I want to draw a horizontal line between the beginning and end of two VPI points on a vertical curve with text annotation of the curve length and k value. Has anyone managed to do something of this sort. Please see image bellow of what I'm attempting…

Hi, I want to annotate a VPI, VPC and VPT in plan. The previewer window doesn't give the preview of how the annotations will look like via the preview window. And also applying the VPI annotations onto the model to display them in plan doesn't work as…

Is there a way to import a a profile not created in OpenRoads into OpenRoads? I created a profile through GeoPak and am wondering if I can save sometime and import it into vertical geometry. I'm working with Power GEOPAK v8i SS4.

I am trying to work on a profile in Geopak and then import the vertical alignment into SS3 OpenRoads to an existing horizontal alignment. Every time I try to import, a new horizontal alignment is created. Is there a way to import a profile to an existing…

I have been using the Vertical Geometry tools in OpenRoads to create a proposed profile for a proposed roadway alignment. When I export the profile to Geopak and draw the profile using the Design and Computation Manager, extra VPIs are drawn at all of…

Hi. I have attached a raster to bentley inroads and created my horizontal geometry and edge of pavement as per online video training. the training video for defining vertical geometry from PI at 4:45 says you need to "set active terrain". otherwise…

Is there a tool to drop the complex vertical profile back to components? MicroStation "Drop Complex" does not appear to work. Thanks

Hi, been walking through the vertical geometry workshop and have some questions. Might be best to make multiple posts so as not to introduce confusion between questions. I create a "complex element" best fit profile. Is there a setting that tells…
