Design Alignments and Profiles Fundamentals
(Course Duration: 35 minutes)
In this course you will learn the fundamental tools to create, edit, and annotate civil geometry in OpenRoads Designer. Horizontal and Vertical geometry are required to create a 3D model, or corridor, for a road design. The horizontal geometry is used to layout the alignment and is the parent feature for the vertical geometry, or design profile. In this course we’ll address a few common tools and approaches to get you started with the layout and grading of your alignments and profiles.
· Create Geometry Design File
· Create Design Alignments
· Edit Design Alignments
· Label/Annotate Alignments
· Getting Started with Profiles
· Create Design Profiles
· Edit Design Profiles
Corridor Modeling Fundamentals Course Introduction
(Course Duration: 60 minutes)
In this course you will learn the basics of corridor modeling including the common workflow, tools and concepts to get started in OpenRoads Designer. Corridor models bring together the alignment, profile, and templates to create a detailed 3D model used for finish grade construction and quantity reporting. You can use many tools and techniques to model your corridors and this course will establish the foundation that you can build on to model even the most complex corridors.
· Create a corridor model
· Add template drops to a corridor
· View corridor models
· Edit corridor templates
· Use point controls to override templates
· Use parametric constraints to override templates
· Use end condition exceptions to change daylight slopes
· Calculate and assign superelevation to a corridor
· Calculate and report earthwork and material quantities
· Create and export corridor surfaces
· OpenRoads Designer Overview
Pad Grading Fundamentals Course Introduction
(Course Duration: 50 minutes)
In this course, you will learn the how to use rule-based design to grade a small site that includes a building pad, parking pad, and access road. Using rule-based design allows you to create relationships with grading features to automate updates as changes occur. This includes setting pad elevations relative to a surface, creating a design profile at a given slope from another civil feature, and anchoring a design profile to an intersection of civil features. As the grading evolves you can analyze earthwork volumes and make interactive refinements to achieve a cost effective grading solution. This course will follow a typical design workflow that you can apply to your design products, regardless of whether you leverage the rule-based approach. The content in this course is also applicable to OpenSite and OpenRail Designer.
· Grade Building and Parking Pads using rule-based design
· Create a Proposed Terrain from Elements
· Grade an Access Road using rule-based design
· Add Exterior Grading via Linear Templates
· Adjust and Refine Rule-Based Grading
· Calculate earthwork volumes
· Validate Terrain models
· Apply Surface Templates
· Create Complex Terrain

Pond Grading Fundamentals Course Introduction
(Course Duration: 37 minutes)
In this course, you will learn how to use Open Designer products to grade a detention pond. This course will follow a typical detention pond workflow and demonstrate commonly used grading tools that will prepare you for open space grading on your projects. Rule-based design methodology will be used to grade the entire detention pond based on the pond’s water elevation. You will learn how to create a custom linear template for the pond grading, and how to create a terrain from the grading features. After the pond is graded earthwork volumes will be analyzed and the pond storage capacity determined. At the conclusion of this course, a complex terrain will be created to merge the pond design into the existing ground.
· Establish the design profile for the water surface elevation
· Create a linear template for basin and berm grading
· Apply a linear template to the pond elevation feature
· Create a terrain model from pond grading features
· Analyze pond volumes
