OpenRoads Designer - Beginners civil works design (Level 1)

OpenRoads is the new combination of InRoads, GEOPAK and MX. In the Year in Infrastructure 2015 conference, Bentley Systems announced its OpenRoads CONNECT Edition software.

In this course we are going to go through basics of Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition.

For this course, we will start with an introduction, over view, keyboard shortcuts and user interface / navigation in Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition. We will try to go through all basics to get started.

We will try to cover up all basic commands to execute and edit horizontal geometries, vertical geometries, super elevations, corridors and terrains. We will also learn how to visualize different aspects of projects in different ways in order to get better conceptualization.

In later parts of this course, we will learn about civil cells which are preset templates in Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition that become pretty handy when working on large scale projects.

Please be noted that there is no hard and fast rule to execute a specific command as there are multiple approaches to create similar output, however, we will try to follow the simplest approach possible to make this course easy and fun to learn for you.
