Hi there, I'm running an End Area Volume Report using a named boundary group of cross-sections. In the Volumes report that I am using it lists the shrink/swell factor, however, I can't find anywhere to actually set the factor. Is there a command somewhere that I am missing? As shown below, I would simply like to apply a 20% shrinkage to the fill quantity.

I am trying to import the attached alignment and the software keeps shutting down on me. I've imported other alignment that aren't quite as curvy without any issues. HELP!!
Actually, I need to import points and associated nongraphical data into a drawing file for future export to an SHP file.
How much of this can I do in MicroStation/PowerGeopak SS4?
I have Civil 3D 2020 on my computer as well. I'm not opposed to using it, but I don't have a lot of intimate knowledge to help me troubleshoot if something doesn't work.
I have access to ORD 2020 R2, but I'm the only one, and I don't want to set this up into a drawing in such way that others will not be able to use it.
It's been a couple of years since I had a project like this in front of me, and back then I never was able to see it through.
I have a spreadsheet of a drainage inventory with points, structure number, type, material, etc. I've been told to get this information into a drawing file, with as much of the additional information as possible associated with the graphics. Getting the point graphics in doesn't really worry me, although Lat/Long isn't anything I work with frequently. Getting the rest of the information in, attached to that point makes me nervous. I know such things can happen, but I have no idea how to start.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Hello,
Is it possible to project corridor points to profile?
i have spent way too much time trying to test out level display across plan, profile, and cross section sheets.
honestly level display is working so differently for each of these 3 views and the MS_LEVEL_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE_DESIGN_LEVELS_IN_SHEET variable seems to act different or not at all.
i have read through all the explanations and videos on this. but nothing goes into detail exactly how it works.
In my testing this is what i have found.
all testing was done on sheets created from named boundaries, and yes i remember to hit save settings. using ORD 2020 R2.
PLAN
MS_LEVEL_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE_DESIGN_LEVELS_IN_SHEET just doesn't do anything i get the same results I have it set to 1 or undefined.
PROFILE
have to use global display in design profile model view. the global display of levels carries over into the drawing model with OR without the MS_LEVEL_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE_DESIGN_LEVELS_IN_SHEET variable
(except stuff from a 3d cut in the profile view. that uses the refresh 3d cut to control whats displayed)
the only difference i see is that when the MS_LEVEL_DO_NOT_OVERRIDE_DESIGN_LEVELS_IN_SHEET is set to 1, in the drawing model if you turn on a level, the next time you load it gets reverted back to match the design profile view. with the variable undefined it will let you. BUT you can still turn levels off in the drawing model with or without this variable
so really the only thing this variable is doing for me is not letting me turn levels on in individual drawing models.
XS
if i use global display in the Design 3D model to control level display then that display carries over to my drawing models with OR without this variable.
overall i feel like if i messed with the level display long enough the "sync" of level display seemed to always break.
does it matter if the variable is set at the time of sheet creation?
honestly it shouldn't be this hard to figure out how something it supposed to work. i have spent days testing this with and without the variable on in plan, profile, and XS. and it just doesn't seem to be doing much of anything.
Really could use some more detail on this.

We had a situation last night where one of our centerline alignment got all kinds of contorted in the DGN file, and no one knows what happened, or even was in the file. Has anyone ever had unexplainable, catastrophic things happen to important DGN files? I was able to locate a backup and sub in and things seemed to work fine from that point, but had I not done that, we would be looking at severe issues. At another point, an important DGN file got corrupted as a result of using a Simple Arc geometry tool. Is the best "insurance policy" for these issues just to back up files constantly into an archive? Is there any way to un-corrupt a file, or actions to avoid to prevent corruptions from taking place? Connectivity is great in theory, but things like this make me have nightmares.
I have an existing surface and a proposed surface created and would like to cut cross sections so that I can see the changes in elevation. Because I am working with strictly surfaces I do not have an actual alignment, or a corridor to cut across. The only way I've been able to cut cross sections so far is by placing a "dummy" horizontal line (horizontal geometry > place line between points), then opening a profile model, creating a vertical geometry within that profile model, setting it active, and then cutting sections. I would like to specify the elevation range for the cross sections but don't see the "source" option like I've seen in some videos. I'm not sure if there is a step that I am missing.
We have a WIP Workspace that is currently in limbo due to COVID-19 budgetary impacts. It originated as our Ss4 workspace and was migrated with Chuck Lawson's assistance as part of our DOT Amp process. During the migration process, we tested using as many of our legacy settings as possible with the hope that migrating a project from our Ss4 workspace to CONNECT would be as painless as possible. We did see a number of issues that were troubling, but they did not seem insurmountable.
Recent posts in this newsgroup have made me want to revisit those concerns. Here are some of the issues we found:
Has anyone else found that they had to make impactful changes to their default settings and how has that impacted ongoing projects.

I have a situation where I want to profile a splitter island curb face based on slopes from 3 distinct lines that have vertical information (edge of pavement left, edge of pavement right, roundabout rotary edge). I projected each of these profiles onto the 2D element. I want to copy a portion of each of the profiles and complex them together into a single vertical alignment. (almost like 'zero' offset partial for the horizontal geometry). As of now, the active profile is just the first "Profile by slope from element" command I initiated from the edge of pavement. Is there a way to combine parts of each profile together? Thanks!
I'm having issues with my annotation holding Field Types in referenced SUDA models. I'm using annotation groups that are applied to specific nodes and links within my SUDA model. The group is using a prebuilt Text Favorites with the appropriate SUDA properties tied to it for invert, size, slope, etc... When trying to sheet within the active SUDA model it sheets and annotates correctly...putting in the appropriate SUDA properties for each node and link.
However, when starting with a clean 2D seed file and ref in the existing terrain and SUDA model and then go through the sheeting/annotation process the note drops in but no fields are filled out. This also happens when trying to manually Place Label using the exact same Text Favorite. I watched one Bentley video on sheeting profiles and I saw the same thing happen...where all the fields '0' out.
I'm curious what I'm missing. This seems like a logical approach to sheet utilities. I really don't want to sheet inside my active SUDA model for obvious reasons. Thoughts?
My X-Section Annotation Groups in my "Features_Annotations_Levels_ElementTemp.dgnlib" file were not displaying in my cross section models and I figured out why-- the annotation groups were based off of points from the default Civil Templates Imperial.itl file rather than the itl file used to build the model. However along the way I've run into another issue:
So I copied the proper template file used to build the model “Sabinepass.itl” over to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE\Configuration\WorkSpaces\LADOTD\Template Library and changed the configuration variable to utilize the correct file.
This works fine, and I'm able to "Select Template" in the Manage Annotation menu, however, when I try to set the “location” of where the Annotation Group should apply and “Select points from Template”, I get the “unhandled exception has occurred….. Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error. Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,

HOW I CAN EXPORT POINT WHIS GRID SIZE 1X1 M FROM CLASSSIFY DATA
Hi. I have a rfa file that includes 6 traffic signs 3D, it has been created in Revit:
but when I open or reference it with OpenRoads, graphically I only see a traffic sign, the one that is active in Revit:
there are 6 signals but I only see 1:

I am attaching the rfa file and please tell me how I can select the rest of the signals. Thank you!
Everytime I try to change contours wich I have made out of a point cloud, ORD stops working.
I attach a point cloud (round 500MB) and with the additional methods make a terrain of it. In explorer I search for teh opotion manage templates and then I can normally change the colour of the contours.
But everytime ORD stops working. Am I the only one? I work with ORD 10.1.0.15 and my computer is a MSI GT62VR 7RE with a NVIDIA GeForce1070/8GB and 16GB DDR4.
When using Field book Survey you can import from graphics (linear and points) to the field book. I noticed that different lines and points get sorted in different survey feature category.
How do you define this classification?
Also, all the different lines and points get the Terrain Model Attribute "Do not include" is there a way to set this to "Breakline" or any other automaticaly, so that when using the import from graphics thing get populated the right way?
Thanks
I am trying to import survey points and have them show as they used to in SS2.
when using the text import wizard on ORD I get the points displayed as "Decorations":
what I need is for the point to show up like in SS2 and SS4 when they come in as actual point example:
as of right now we are processing the points on SS2 and then switching to ORD but we would like to use only one software if possible
any help would be appreciate it.
Thanks

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 each inlet properties as well, but when i adjust the invert in either way the inlet then becomes dashed and yellow in plan view.
Hallo,
I'm looking for a way to replace a annotation group on a created profile with anoter annotation group or to add a annotation to a profile created without the annotation, but I havn't found a way to do it (without deleting and recreating the profile). How can I do it?
Second I want to create slope hatches in my imported data, but can't find a command for it. Since the slope hatch may be between different kinds of lines an assignment of a pattern to a special feature type (like a edge of slope) isn't possible. I miss the "Draw slope hatch" from InRoads. What's the way to solve it in ORD?
I'm using the ORD 10.08.01.33.
Kind regards

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between these 2 products? I cannot find any clear explanation that distinguishes these 2 products other than collection of Workflows. Is there anything I would not be able to do with either? Is there a cost difference. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
We're having problem with top mesh going across the corridor in some areas where End Condition Exception (I've got number of ECE but the issue is only in few locations) is applied. Does anyone come across this? Any idea what may causing it? Is it a bug? I'm running 2020R2. Thanks.
Top mesh with ECE enabled:
Top mesh when ECE is disabled:
