    The document discusses how to effectively work with 2D and 3D models in OpenRoads. It explains that OpenRoads uses both 2D and 3D models, with the 2D view interface for editing. It also covers how OpenRoads automatically generates 3D models and managing models when referencing files.

    Working Effectively in the OpenRoads Modeling

    Environment

    1 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Our Reasoning…

    • PLAN SHEETS ARE OUR COMMON


    DELIVERABLE.
    • 2D

    2 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    How Do Our Plans
    Make it to the Field?
    • Construction Staking (in some
    form) transfers known points (x, y,
    and Z) onto the earth’s surface.
    • 3D

    3 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Bringing the Design
    Closer to Reality
    • OpenRoads is meant to allow us to work
    in 2D to create 3D.

    4 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    MicroStation Models
    • MicroStation dgn contains multiple
    models.
    • 2D
    • 3D
    • Drawing models / Sheets

    • OpenRoads relies on these “models” to


    present our design information.

    5 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    2D or Not 2D? That is the Question…

    6 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Where to Start?

    • 2D dgn – for Geometry and Corridors


    – Contains at least one 2D MicroStation model

    • 3D dgn – for Survey and Terrain


    – Contains at least one 3D MicroStation model

    7 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    3D Models are Created Automatically

    • Let OpenRoads manage the creation of the 3D model.


    – 3D model created upon invoking an element or function that requires
    elevations.
    • Activate a Terrain
    • Activate a Profile

    8 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Demonstration – OpenRoads Creates the 3D Model

    9 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Key Points – The OpenRoads 3D Model

    • The 3D (MicroStation) model can’t be deleted.

    • The 3D model shouldn’t be re-named

    • A view can be changed to show the model Default-3D.

    • 3D model is automatically referenced back to the 2D model


    – Simply turn it off to simplify the 2D view.

    10 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Interacting with the 2D Model and 3D Model

    • Create Elements in the 2D model


    – Activate the profile to create and display the 3D representation

    • Think of the 2D model/view as the interface to edit the 3D model.


    – Geometry
    • Select in 2D to edit profile
    – Corridors
    • Select 2D corridor elements to make edits
    • Corridor Element
    • Template Drop Element

    – Exception: Terrains and Survey

    11 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Demonstration – Creating Geometry

    12 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Demonstration – Corridors

    13 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Key Points – Interacting with Geometry and Corridors

    • Elements have a 2D Instance with a 3D Representation


    • To effectively create or edit an OpenRoads geometry element, it
    must have a 2D instance.
    • Edit corridors from the 2D model using the Template Drop Object
    and the Corridor Object.
    • Think of the 2D model/view as the interface to edit the 3D model.

    14 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    More Models… Non-Indexed models

    • Profile Model

    • Dynamics Cross Section Model

    15 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Managing the Models and Views

    • How Do I change the views and models?


    – View Attributes > View Setup > Models

    When the view contains a “non-indexed” model, a.k.a.


    dynamic cross section or profile, you can click on the icon in
    the top left to get to View Attributes.

    Demonstration – Managed Models

    17 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    What about Reference Files?

    • Do I have to keep up with the models when I reference dgn’s


    together?
    • BEST PRACTICE
    – When a civil model is present, reference the 2D model to the 2D model
    • PAY ATTENTION TO THE ACTIVE VIEW WHEN REFERENCING

    – EXCEPT when the file being referenced is a 3D file that contains data from
    sources other than OpenRoads.

    Demonstration – Models and Referencing

    19 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2016 Bentley Systems, Incorporated


    Key Points

    • OpenRoads uses both 2D and 3D models.


    • Think of the 2D view is the interface to edit geometry and corridors.
    • Let OpenRoads manage the 3D model.
    • The 3D model is referenced back to the 2D model, but can be turned off.
    • The Openroads 3D model can’t be deleted.
    • Setting an element’s profile active, displays its 3D representation.
    • When referencing OpenRoads models, attach the 2D default model to
    the 2D model and let OpenRoads Manage the 3D model.
    • When referencing 3D models from other sources, attach them to the
    OpenRoads 3D model.
