Overview
• Why did we go to OpenRoads?
• How is OpenRoads being rolled out?
• OpenRoads Introduction for Iowa DOT
• What is new?
• What has changed?
• What is the same?
• Workspace overview
Why OpenRoads
• New Geometry tools make editing easier
• Rule based geometry
• Civil Cells
• Design Standards in software
• New reporting features
• 3D modeling made & updated faster
• Support for legacy products is diminishing
How is OpenRoads being rolled out?
• Only new projects.
• As of October 2016 all new survey projects are SS4
• Existing corridor projects will be evaluated separately
• Timeframe to next upcoming Letting
• How long project will continue
• Is staff prepared to convert to OpenRoads
• Projects with a Letting date prior to January 2018 with significant work already completed will not be converted.
What is New
• Workflow
• File & element naming conventions
• Informal instructions through Project Explorer
• Civil reporting
• Civil Standards
• Terrains
• Feature Definitions
• Civil Cells
Workflow: New Files
• See Design Manual section 20D-101 for further details.
• New naming convention (geolocated files only): CCRRRPPPGGG (See 20B-45)
New File Prefixes
Workflow: Element Naming
• 20D-102 created to establish naming conventions for geometric elements
• Maintain legacy rules for geometric elements
Instructional Documents
• Providing links to instructions directly from MicroStation
• Project Explorer will contain Iowa DOT & Bentley documents.
Instructional Documents
Instructional Documents
Civil Reporting
• New tool to Geopak taken from InRoads
• Iowa DOT developing custom reports to fill out Tabulations
Civil Reporting
• Tabs. 101-16 & 101-17 now created from Civil Reports
• No longer in Microstation derived from .GPK
• Will develop more Tabs from Civil Reports in the future.
Custom DOT Civil Reports
Terrains
Civil Standards
• Give warnings when geometry violates design standards
• Iowa uses AASHTO design standards
Civil Standards
Feature Definitions
• Split up in several DGNLIBs
• Survey
• Survey Features
• Terrain Display
• Photo
• Terrain Display
• Design
• Modeling
• Plan Drafting

Feature Definitions
Civil Cells
• Few Iowa specific currently developed.
• More to come.
What has changed
• Survey/Photo Files
• Geometry (tools)
• Corridor Modeling
• Drainage Design
• Cross Sections
New Survey/Photo Files
Geometry Changes
• No more COGO geometry.
• Not auto-annotating centerlines.
• Only exporting to .GPK for sheeting & annotating P&P sheets.
Modeling
• Corridor Modeler GUI is no more.
• Using combination of Site modeler & Corridor modeler tools going forward.
Drainage Design
• SUE/SUDA tools still being developed
• Geopak Drainage will still be used until SUDA is finished
Cross Sections
• Cross sections created differently.
• Anything drawn in 3D will show up in XS.
What is the Same
• Sheeting (kind of)
• Printing
• Earthwork calculation (for now)
• AMG deliverables
OpenRoads Sheeting
• Motif files still utilized
• Relies on antiquated .GPK file
• Plan elements need to be drawn the same, just in TXT file
• Sheet files have .DGN file extension & SHT_ prefix to file name.
OpenRoads Printing
• Print Organizer remains the printing tool for OpenRoads
OpenRoads Earthwork
• Relies on input files for now.
• Investigating new tools for future deployment.
• XS need to be on correct features.
AMG Deliverables
• Still producing LandXML (alignments & surfaces) and 3D line strings files.
• Using new tools to create the files.
• Instructional document available through Project Explorer.
Workspace Overview
• Network Workspace was made available 11/1/2016 on Automation Tools website (http://www.iowadot.gov/design/automation.htm).
Network Workspace overview
• Delivered as single self contained download.
• Variables specific to network/computer will be changed to configure the workspace.
ProjectWise workspace
• ProjectWise managed workspace available on folders for OpenRoads projects.
• DOT uses dual install of SS2 & SS4.
• uStation: 08.11.09.714
• Geopak SS2: 08.11.07.629 (DOT Priority Build)
• Geopak SS4: 08.11.09.845
• Workspace internally opens correct software based on workspace.
