Bentley,
I think you should task one of your employees to design a real project with OpenRoads Designer. Which means modeling a roadway project then after corridors are created start modifying the alignments. This includes extending alignments , removing curves and adding vertical curves. I would bet all the corridors you created with those edited alignments will blow up, lose connection and crash. This is my experience. I am currently trying to figure out how do I dumb down my modeling. I would rather redo work then sit here and watch a blue circle spin around for a half an hour after every change.
Creating geometry in OpenRoads is such a nightmare at times. Why can't there just be a "Create Simple Alignment by PI" for horizontal geometry like the vertical geometry "Create Simple Profile by PI". I just need to add PI's , insert PI's , delete PI's and change curve radius or length. That is it 99.999999% of the time. I don't need 50 rules controlling my alignment. For example, try adding a PI or curve to the beginning of a complex element. Basically, plan on starting over with your alignment, profile and corridors.
Sorry for the complaints, but these issues need to be fixed. Designers are wasting a lot of time and money on stupid issues like creating an alignment. At least give us a option to create a simple dumb alignment and the tools to edit it easily.
