• Getting Started with Civil Cells

  Getting Started with Civil Cells: Course Introduction​

  In this course, you will be introduced to Civil Cells and learn how they can be leveraged in your OpenRoads Designer models. Civil Cells are a collection of design features that can be applied and associated with elements in a design file. Civil Cells use rules and relationships to bind elements for dynamic modeling and interactive parametric editing. You can use Civil Cells for many grading tasks, including grading intersections, roundabouts, cul-de-sacs, curb ramps, and much more.

  • Place Civil Cells into a design file
  • Identify elements within a Civil Cell
  • Edit reference elements and Civil Cell geometry

• Grading T-Intersections using Civil Cells

  Grading T-Intersections using Civil Cells: Course Introduction​

  This course teaches you how to grade an intersection in OpenRoads Designer using Civil Cells. Civil Cells are elements used to layout and grade common site features, including Roadway Intersections. The T-Intersection Civil Cell used in this course consists of complex components defining key intersection grading features. Linear Templates are used to grade the curve returns, and a terrain with the surface template is used to model the pavement. This course will follow a typical workflow to layout and grade a T-Intersection using multiple Civil Cells. In addition to the T-Intersection Civil Cell, a Turn Lane Civil Cell and Island Civil Cell will be used in the intersection design.

  
  

  Course Objectives

  The material presented in this course will teach you how to:

  • Remove Corridor components through an intersection
  • Place a T-Intersection Civil Cell
  • Edit Civil Cell geometry
  • Add a Turn Lane to the T-Intersection
  • Place an Island Civil Cell
  • Report the Corridor component Quantities in the intersection

  Course Prerequisites

• Grading Curb Ramps using Civil Cells

  Grading Curb Ramps using Civil Cells: Course Introduction​

  This course teaches you how to use the curb ramp Civil Cells in OpenRoads Designer. The "out of the box" curb ramps include a single perpendicular curb ramp and three modular parallel curb ramps. These curb ramps allow you to accurately model ramp landings and curb transitions in little time and with minimal effort. The thoroughly graded curb ramps bind to reference elements in our design file to acquire elevations and grades. If the reference elements are edited, the curb ramp Civil Cells will automatically update to reflect the changes. After placing them into your models, curb Ramps leverage rules and relationships to constrain geometry, making them easier to edit and manipulate.

  
  

  Course Objectives

  The material presented in this course will teach you how to:

  • Place a Curb Ramp Perpendicular Civil Cell
  • Place a Curb Ramp Parallel Landing Civil Cell
  • Place a Curb Ramp Parallel Left & Right Civil Cell
  • Reposition and Edit Curb Ramp Civil Cells
  • Transition Sidewalk through Curb Ramp Civil Cell Perpendicular

  
  

  Course Prerequisites

  To participate in this training course, you should have completed the following:

  • OpenRoads Designer Fundamentals

  • Getting Started with Civil Cells

  Video Duration: 28 Minutes

  Tips:

  • Turn off your phone, and close your email, text, and social media apps.

  • Plug headphones or earbuds to your computer.

• Grading Driveway Entrances using Civil Cells

  Grading Driveway Entrances using Civil Cells: ​Course Introduction

  This course teaches you how to use the Rural and Urban Entrance Civil Cells included with OpenRoads Designer. The Entrance Civil Cells make grading driveways quick and easy. The Civil Cells associate with corridor features and update if the corridor model is edited. Using the heads-up display and Properties, you can manipulate the Civil Cell geometry and matchlines to refine the grading model. Entrance civil cells can be defined as clipped corridor boundaries that seamlessly blend the driveway entrance into the corridor model.

  
  

  Course Objectives

  The material presented in this course will teach you how to:

  • Place a Rural Entrance Civil Cell
  • Edit Rural Entrance Geometry
  • Edit Rural Entrance Matchlines
  • Place an Urban Entrance Civil Cell
  • Edit Urban Entrance Geometry
  • Edit Urban Entrance Matchlines
