I have a fairly big surface and my file has become pretty much obsolete, everytime I try adding an element or removing an element the computer will just spin for 30 minutes to an hour is their best practices to how to deal with issues like this, I don't want to waste another day adding a couple of break lines. Thank you
OpenRoads Designer 10.9.0.91
I'm trying to convert a pickup survey done in ss10 to Openroads Designer. I was able to export and import it using a land xml file, but when I import it into ORD the feature definitions do not display properly. It's almost like it is holding out to the feature definitions from the older workspace. I've tried to edit the feature definition in the project explorer window but the feature definition portion is greyed out. Is there a way to assign the correct the feature definitions?
Will there be a dark theme in the next release like they did for Microstation? Thanks.
Corridors and End Conditions! I have rebuilt my template end conditions 3 times now. Each time the problem gets worse and worse. My end condition is seeking a Horizonal Feature Definition and a Finished Grade Surface. I have a Left and a Right Side. I am doing it this way because I am trying to recreate a Design Engineers Corridor with only 2D CADD Linework and a Finished Grade DTM (XML).
I keep getting End Condition cross over from the left to right or right to left sides of my corridor. I have tried ensuring that the point names for each side are unique. I have also tried to make sure that my Feature Definition Names are Unique (Copying and Pasting, Renaming Right and Left in the ORD Standards Window) When I attach my End Condition to my main roadway assemblies, I am leaving the "Edge of AB point" and placing the "EC_HingeLeft_" Over the top of that point. Is this causing the problem? Any other thoughts on how to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Hello,
Does anyone know how to display a 'surface template' with a top mesh? Additionally It would be good to be able to display line marking on the template, any ideas?
I have set my Geo Coordinates and have background mapping showing in the Model Space of my file... But i was wondering if there is a way in which the background mapping can then be bought through onto sheet files with Saved Views, or any other way for that matter?
It would be helpful to show the surround areas (we have not be given any surround information on the project we are working on) to give the drawing more relevance.
any advise would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Harry
I am frequently converting between dwg and dgn. I am curious what folks believe is the best way to go about converting dwg to dgn? I have been opening the dwg in openroads and exporting to dgn. I have also been opening a seed file or another related dgn and referencing the dwg, then merging to master. Are there any examples where it would be better to export a dgn in Civil3D? From what I've heard, that isnt the best option but I am curious if its ever the preferred method, in certain circumstances. I am operating OpenRoads 2020 release 3 (10.9) and Civil3D 2020 Imperial.
Much Appreciated!

I was super excited about the “Topo Import” feature with 2020 R3. However, it does not work properly for me.
In order to check to functionality of this feature, I manually created a terrain with a lidar point cloud that I downloaded from the Kansas GIS website. After I processed the point cloud to a terrain, I compared it to our field survey terrain and it fits together great. Next, I created a terrain using the “Topo Import/ESRI terrain” tool. When I compare this terrain to to my previously created terrain, the “Topo Import" terrain fits good horizontally but the elevations are exaggerated. Is there a setting that I am missing?
Hello,
I am working through the Learn Server training lessons for OpenRoads but receive an error when opening the downloadable lesson files from the server. The error only allows me to open the file in "Read-Only" mode which prevents me from being able to work through the lessons alongside the instructor.
Full error message:
I am using OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition - 2019 Release 2 Update 7 - Version 10.07.03.18.
I've tried doing a "save as" to a different version of the software or simply just saving the file in another location and attempting to reopen it. I've gotten to where I can open the file in editable mode but it loses a lot of the data that was originally included in the file, including some required data for the lessons.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I am trying to renumber sheets so that they take on the prefix of their folder name. I would like the sheets in the PP folder to be named PP01, PP02, etc., and the sheets in the XS folder to be named XS01, XS03, etc. I can't get any sheets to renumber no matter what I try. It's not clear to me what the settings should be in the Manage Sheet Index dialog. Can anyone please explain the proper workflow?
Hello,
I am trying to annotate an element in my cross-sections so that it updates automatically when my corridor changes. Specifically, I am trying to annotate the bottom elevation of a swale so that when the elevation changes, the label moves with it. Currently, I am able to place a label and have the correct formatting and elevation information placed, however when I change my model, the labels at the bottom of the swale don't move along with it.
When doing research, I see that "for Annotate Element to work the Elements Feature Definition needs the Annotation Group defined." The swale bottom lines currently have the "Ditch Line" feature definition. FYI, I
am using the FDOT workspace.
1- How exactly do I define an annotation group for this "Ditch Line" feature definition?
2- Should this be done in my corridor modeling design file? Or the roadway XS file?
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm working in OpenRoads Designer, and I created a custom line for the terrain.
However when I apply this line style for my terrain, it's missing some pieces. (The image on the left is the default line style for the terrain, and the one on the right is when I apply the custom line style).
Any solutions ?
Best regards
Hi All,
Thanks for your time.
We use a small percentage of the capabilities of the product and traditionally have built tin files for the existing topography and the proposed.
Then we used the volume tools for overall cut-fill calculations, create a delta surface, then use "Themes" to create a cut-fill plan showing gradients of red for cut, and gradients of blue for fill.
The new product appears to be completely different.
Are there any resources or can anyone give me some guidance on this process using the new product?
We are currently using Bentley Geopak v8i (SELECT SERIES 10) 08.11.09.918
Sincerely Appreciated!

On a certain project I was able to use Edit Station to edit a few individual station template drops, but I can no longer edit any stations. I right click and select Edit Station, but nothing shows up, not even an error message, etc. This is happening in multiple files.
It sounds related to this thread, although none of the suggestions worked
Investigating further I noticed that I CAN edit individual station drops when viewing dynamic sections by choosing the corridor, but I CAN'T edit station drops if I view dynamic sections by selecting the alignment.
This threw me for a loop because I wasn't noticing the different ways I was viewing the dynamic sections. Is this how this is intended to work?
My reasoning was I didn't need to review every single template drop. I only wanted to see the ones at the stations that will have printed x-sections in the final plan. My corridor has drops every 5' so that there is an actual drop at even 25' increments, which are what we show on plans (in addition to a few extras where needed).
I created an end condition exception and point control to draw a special v ditch along my alignment. However, it seems the flow arrows always point up station and I can't figure out how to change them. I tried the suggestion in this thread https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/175361/ord-r4u6-how-do-i-show-flow-arrows-in-the-plan-view-on-our-roadway-ditches but I think that only works in the 3d view? Any help is appreciated.
How do I enlarge my cross sections that are stacked on a sheet to make them fill the sheet? The 20 Scale is the Annotation Scale, not the drawing scale (which is Full Scale: 1:1 Correct?) Alos, ORD 2020 Release 3 keep crashing upon trying to actually print the sheet view!!
Does ORD have a way to show Drainage Pattern lines similar to GEOPAK SS2's too shown below?
Good Morning,
Is there a way to name specific curves in an alignment in OpenRoads Designer? Previously, using PowerGeopak, we were able to name each specific chain so that when the curve data appears on the plan sheets and geometry report, the curve name was shown. I can't seem to find this similar feature in OpenRoads. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You!

Good afternoon everyone,
When printing sheets from OpenRoads Designer to PDF, the line styles, colors change.
Do you have any idea why? and how can I solve this issue ?
Best regards,
I know there are any number of outstanding Defects and Enhancements.
I would like to be able to file Service Tickets to throw my name onto the list of people requesting certain things to be fixed (or replaced or added). However, finding that information is pretty much impossible unless I happen to stumble across a discussion thread mentioning such a thing. The ORD forum doesn't even have an Ideas section anymore...
Where would we, as users, be able to search for and support Enhancements or Defect logging?
