2020 Great Lakes Bentley User Group Conference

Pavement Edges are particularly important: they are required in Plan Sheets and the streamline modeling corridors (a single template can follow edges wherever they meander). In this class you create smart, editable, obedient edges, turn lanes, tapers, and driveways. You will see how OpenRoads Remembers the relationships with which you built the geometry and honors it when the design changes. OpenRoads Remembers your Design Intent.

Do I need Element Templates? How do I change the color of a Feature created by a template? How do I get my models to show textures and materials? If you have these or similar questions, don't miss this session! OpenRoads Designer uses on an assembly of DGNLIB files, resource files, libraries, and configuration variables that determine how the software behaves. During this session we will discuss important aspects of what is stored in these files and libraries.

Can OpenRoads Subsurface Utilities design drainage systems like I currently do? Yes it can. Does OpenRoads Subsurface Utilities provide me additional capabilities and benefits? Yes it does. What do I need to know before implementing Subsurface Utilities? How do I ensure success when implementing Subsurface Utilities? Join us to answer these and other questions during this session.

Develop intelligent, 3D, parametric bridge models for your highway projects with Bentley’s OpenBridge Modeler. Easily manage changes with built-in, user-defined relationships among bridge components and reference DGN models throughout the lifecycle of the bridge. Learn how OpenBridge Modeler's integrated workflow minimizes errors and improves efficiency. OpenBridge Modeler leverages OpenRoads geometry data (terrain, alignments, profile, and superelevation) ensuring the bridge and roadway geometry are the same and transfers directly into LEAP Bridge and RM Bridge for detailed design and analysis.

Building a drainage model is fast and easy, but a LOT happens under the surface when you click Subsurface Utilities buttons. This presentation digs into how OpenRoads and StormCAD unite to provide a comprehensive drainage and utility solution. What happens when you click Place Node? or Place Conduit? or Compute? How do you confirm the results you got? Where did those newly designed pipe sizes come from? How do you constrain the design to your needs? Join us as we answer these questions.

The intent of this course is to demonstrate how to turn 2D elements into 3D elements by adding profiles and elevations to civil elements that are typically found outside the limits of a roadway corridor (i.e. civil sites, building pads, parking lots, ponds, infield grading, bridge abutment grading, etc.) In this course you are going to learn how to create 3D elements (or features) and Proposed Terrains using fundamental site modeling and non-corridor modeling techniques. We will utilize the vertical geometry tools along with linear templates and the terrain modeling tools throughout this course. In the first part of the course you are going to learn how to grade a cell tower site that is made up of a tower pad, yard and driveway. The second part of the course you will learn how to create an infield pond between corridors.

Join Bentley experts as they share tips and tricks for creating and editing OpenRoads geometry. Many of these tips and tricks apply to both OpenRoads Designer, CONNECT Edition and V8i versions of InRoads, GEOPAK, MXROAD, and PowerCivil.

Workshop: In this course, you will learn various tools and methods to extract and compute quantities from the corridor model. You will learn how to assign unit costs and generate an estimated cost report for your project using the Component Quantities and Element Component Quantities tool. We will take a look at how to generate cut and fill volume reports from single corridor models as well as multiple corridor models and you will also learn how Named Boundaries and the Quantities Report by Named Boundary can be used to segregate quantities in the corridor model.
