How do you go about placing guiderail and bridge rail in your ORD Model?
I have seen many screen shots on this topic, but how would you place the posts and connect he rails? I have the bridge rail in my template which is fine for cross-sections but what about in a plan view so that when you drive "drive the road" you would see the actual spaces between the posts.
Thanks,
I am trying to run earthwork on a project where I do not want the existing pavement removal included in excavation, but I do want to account for the backfill area where existing pavement was removed. I have the exist pavement classified as MDC which takes care of not including it with excavation, but I cannot figure out how to get the backfill area. I am using Power GEOPAK SS4 Version 08.11.09.872.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!
Dear All ,

and also any difference between OpenRoad and InRoad ?
Thank you and appreciate your help

We are experiencing errors opening our alignment file and a couple of our corridor files in OpenRoads. We are not sure if the files themselves are corrupt or if it is another issue. Is there a way to salvage the alignment files and/or corridor files, or will it be necessary to recreate them?
Is there a way do real time estimating in open roads, meaning add unit price to items like the road, drainage, paint etc. and generate a estimate?
I am trying to fit a spiral between a line and an arc using Openroads Designer. The only solution that is offered involves the arc length being extended and a spiral being positioned at the end of it and leading into the line. However, I need the spiral to be positioned at the end of the line and leading into the arc. This option doesn't seem to be offered, even though I know it is a valid solution. Please can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong.
Hi,
How to get Design Standard.dgnlib and Superelevation definitions from the files (that is from Power Inroads SS 4)
1. In ORD default Design Standards folder, there is only one default DGNLIB file, when the other design standards which are from Power Inroads ss4 are added into relevant folder , ORD can not recognize these DGNLB files, even opening these DGNLB files, it tells me that "The Civil Data found in this file is not supported by OpenRoads Designer"
2. In Power Inroads SS4, I find there are many files in Superelevation folder, see the following screenshots:
In Power Civil for China, I find there are 2 types of superelevation data, that are .sel and .srl
But in ORD Superelevation folder , there is only one file:
3. Question
How to get the correct Design Standard and Superelevation definitions files from the v8i files (that are from Power InRoads ss 4) ?
or how to customize these files?
Thanks and best regards,
Looking forward to your reply!

In case of MXROAD series 4, table view option in profile design is not working. how can I resolve it.
We have a rather large XML file that needs to be brought in as our surface - over 1 Gb of data. I'm sure that other folks deal with bigger data sets, but this is big for me.
The problem is that Power InRoads keeps crashing when I try to Import Terrain Model. Actually it's crashing on all our computers, so it's not just me. I can start the Import Terrain From File tool, and it will start processing, but about ten minutes in, I get the crash dialog. FWIW I keep sending the crash reports to Bentley from the "Power InRoads has stopped working" dialog.
I just tried to open the DWG that was delivered with the XML, and I got "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown." Are our workstations just not powerful enough to handle the data?
I am clueless as to the solution. I do have Civil3D (don't know how to use much, but I have it). Is there anything I could do in there to create a workable XML?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Hi,
I'am trying to export my SS4 Feature definitions to ORD but the tool doesn't work?
Any idea?
regards, Christiaan
I created a new 2d file to create cross-sections in ORD. When attempting to "add boundary", I get the following error message
A Civil 3D model must exist in order to create Civil Cross Section boundaries
What prep work do I need to do prior to cutting sections. Is there a seed file for cross-sections?
Thanks,
I need an end condition to locate HZ Features for Exist ROW & Fixed Tie locations, determine the lesser horizontally, and seek up/down to force-tie to the existing surface. Must stay in the ROW, can't go beyond Fixed Tie feature, if present, tie vertically to surface whether cut or fill.
I tried some ways, but don't get what I need.
For example:
I made DNC point, no construct component from Hinge to seek HZ for fixed tie, constrain HZ to Feature (with ample range).
I made DNC point, no construct component from Hinge to seek HZ for ROW, constrain HZ to Feature (with ample range).
I construct component from Hinge to FixedTie point constraining HZ Min, parents are previous DNC points and Vertical constraint seeks Active Surface Any Direction (with ample distance).
Results in indeterminate solution. Forcing
Any ideas how to accomplish?
Hi all,
Sorry to ask this question again. It worked before. But when I tried to configure the SUDA feature definition to a new computer, it did not work.
The SUDA feature definition is:
I usedCIVIL_CONTENTMANAGEMENTDGNLIBLIST and MS_DGNLIBLIST to point to the target SUDA feature definition location as shown below:
However, it did not show up in project explorer but only Bentley training and example feature definition showed as below:
How can it work before but not right now? Any feedback are highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to have the civil cell shown in this video, the one about the bridge pier:
I can do the same using corridor and linear template but I can't figure out how to do get the profile to match the bridge profile automaticaly.
Any tips would be very appreciated, thanks.
Hello. I am new to roadway design. I have problem about creating crossections that some of end conditions are above or below to surface. I created 3 different alignment. One is using text import wizard, horizontal and vertical alignments. One is from landxml translator. And third one is by elements (importing horizontal and vertical geometry). Troubled crossections are based on alignments that created from text import wizard and landxml. But Crossections are bazed on alignment by element have no problem, they exactly match the terrain model. Is there a way to fix this?
Files: https://we.tl/6GvV2qQVzB
Alignment created from text import wizard is 0-8/alignment_0-8.alg
Alignment created by elements is guzergah_deneme.alg
Template used "Templates/sample"
Software: Power Civil for Turkey ss4 v8.11.09.845 (It is actually like Power Inroads)
Thanks.

When I try to draw vertical alignment the software stops working and closes without any reason. It is not responding especially when the cursor intersects with terrain model. Any way to fix this? Is this a bug?
Hi, all
In OpenRoads, I create a storm drain pipe system and draped utilities to a surface. What's the procedures to make utilities show in the storm drain profile?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there. I'm possibly asking a stupid question, but I'm a new user in Open Roads.
How can I ensure that points feature definitions in templates - become correct levels when my model is displayed as a plan. So for example my edge of pavement strings should be on level - CHXXXX
How can this be done in template creation tool?
Many thanks
Oleg
Is there a way to create an alternate surface that follows the bottom of my milling component? Basically, I want a terrain model that follows ground 2" below the project existing surface within the limit of the existing pavement. It doesn't seem that the alternate surface works for this component type. Also doesn't seem that I can use the bottom mesh in the design stage either.
Surly I'm overlooking something obvious..
