Ian Rosam set the stage for establishing best practices using OpenRoads Geometry, addressing his comments to all users from novice through to expert.
What’s different in OpenRoads? The main characteristics of OpenRoads Geometry user will notice is functionality built on the concept of “Design Intent” and a more interactive and dynamic user experience.
A very popular lecture during all three LEARNing Conferences, Derricke Gray’s presentation today on best practices when generating final plan sets from from civil models is chock full of useful information for the experienced civil designer/project manager. In 45 minutes he covered a wide variety of the workflow details involved in creating plan & profile sheets from the traditional civil product geometry and element…
A topic that invariably comes up when talking Civil are the use of templates in the InRoads/OpenRoads design process. As a result, it is important to have a good “foundation” in templates, the focus of Volaree’s workshop: “Templates – Using and Editing” just concluded at the New Orleans Bentley LEARNing Conference.
During this hands-on workshop attendees had the opportunity to learn…
Your favorite trainers are not only teaching you the ins and outs of all things Civil, but they are also available at the LEARNing Conferences to answer all of your questions outside of the classroom.
The “Ask an Expert” zone at the New Orleans LEARNing Conference is your chance to speak directly to an expert in your field.
Who can you talk to this week?
Mike Wilson, Director, Software Development—Road, Rail…

During his Tuesday morning Creating a Realistic Model with Pavement Markings, Signs, and Other Objects lecture Derricke Gray, Civil Product Manager and #Bentley15 trainer, noted that when it comes to adding functionality to a basic OpenRoads model, Engineers are indeed just like everyone else.
“Putting visualization in the hands of the designer early in the process is a key benefit to OpenRoads,” said Derrick, “but engineers…
On Tuesday at the Road and Site LEARNing Conference, Joey LouAllen led the “Approach and Driveway Modeling” workshop where he showed OpenRoads concepts that can be applied when modeling intersecting approaches, secondary roads, and driveways. Among the topics covered:
Let’s face it, there’s no workaround for improving information mobility and data workflow between designers, engineers, and contractors. On a daily basis you encounter situations where you need to share information with others—information that is generated from the various applications you use.
From plans for permits, review, and phased submittals to visualization for public involvement and design review…
At Monday’s “Best Practice: Corridor Modeling” lecture Ian Rosam, Senior Product Manager-Road, Rail and Site Design at Bentley made it clear that despite rumors, referencing a Tweet made during the recent Indianapolis LEARNing Conference, he is not Joe Waxmonsky. Ian provided proof with a slightly dodgy photograph that proved this but did a slight resemblance between the two Bentley colleagues.
The lecture…
Bentley’s Resident Consultant, Don Lee, lead a packed room of LEARNing Conference attendees through a "QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads" workshop.
Don covered the use of legacy data (.tin, .dtm, or .fil files) in creating and viewing terrains, creating horizontal geometry and vertical geometry from PIs, and the advantages to using OpenRoads. Don acknowledged using OpenRoads is a transition…
