2 Exercise 1: Export the Terrain Models to the Native File Format Description Within OpenRoads, the majority of the plan production is done using the native tools and native file formats. In order to facilitate the usefulness of these tools, this course will focus on moving the OpenRoads data and models back to the native data formats. These files can then be used to create construction drawings, including plan sheets, profiles sheets, and grading plans. Ultimately, OpenRoads will have a new set of fully-integrated plan production tools. Today, however, along with the OpenRoads tools, the native tools are also available in the SELECTseries 3 and SELECTseries 4 versions. In this exercise, you will learn how to export an OpenRoads terrain model to the following native file formats: tin, dtm, or fil. Skills Taught Export the existing terrain to tin, dtm, or fil. 2

6 Exercise 2: Create a Terrain Model from the Proposed Roadway Corridor and Export to Native Description Within OpenRoads, the majority of the plan production is done using the native tools and native file formats. The native geometry database files (InRoads.alg, GEOPAK.gpk, and MX.fil) continue to exist to integrate with native functionality such as Labeling, Plan & Profile Generation, etc. In order to facilitate the usefulness of these tools, this course will focus on moving the OpenRoads data and models back to the native data formats. These files can then be used to create construction drawings; including plan sheets, profiles sheets, and grading plans. In this exercise, you will learn how to export an OpenRoads corridor to the a native surface file format. You will also utilize the native tool sets for review of the native terrain. Skills Taught Create a top mesh from the corridor. Create a terrain model from the corridor. Export the corridor terrain to the native file format.

Open the file Proposed Terrain.dgn [Proposed Terrain- Metric.dgn] 7

4. Reference the South Blvd Corridor into the Proposed Terrain File OpenRoads provides for the interaction of civil data between reference files.

8 4. Reference the South Blvd Corridor into the Proposed Terrain File OpenRoads provides for the interaction of civil data between reference files. We will reference the South Blvd corridor into the newly created proposed terrain file so that the terrain created from the corridor will be stored in a separate file. We will use the Project Explorer to reference the file within the exercise, but you may also reference the file using the References dialog box. a.

11 OPTIONAL: Export the Corridor to a Feature Based Native File Format In this exercise, you will export the OpenRoads terrain to a feature-based native file. This exercise is a bonus exercise and can be completed if time allows. The objective of the exercise is to export a native file that contains the 3D linear terrain elements as named features with associated symbology. These can then be used for annotation and plan production in the native tool sets. To help in organizing the data, we will create a new dgn in which the proposed terrain model will be stored. The South Blvd. corridor will be referenced into the new file to be utilized in terrain creation. 1. Create a new dgn to store the proposed terrain from the corridor. a. Go to File > New b.

25 Exercise 3: Export the Geometry to its Native File Format Description Within OpenRoads, the majority of the plan production is done using the native tools and native file formats. The native geometry database files (InRoads.alg, GEOPAK.gpk, and MX.fil) continue to exist to integrate with native functionality such as Labeling, Plan & Profile Generation, etc. In order to facilitate the usefulness of these tools, this course will focus on moving the OpenRoads data and models back to the native data formats. These files can then be used to create construction drawings; including plan sheets, profiles sheets, and grading plans. In this exercise, you will learn how to export OpenRoads horizontal and vertical geometry to the its native file formats. You will also utilize the geometry within the native tool sets for review and annotation. Skills Taught Export the Proposed Geometry Individually Export Geometry using a Graphical Filter Review the Exported Geometry and Terrain Using the Native Tools 25

26 Export the Proposed Geometric Elements One at a Time In this exercise, you will learn how to export horizontal and vertical alignments to their native format one at a time. Take note that the export of geometry does not create a file directly, but moves the selected elements into the active native geometry data structure within the current OpenRoads session. 1. Return to the South Blvd-Imperial.dgn [South Blvd-Metric.dgn] file. 2. Export the East_Street alignment to its native format. a. On the task menu, open the General Geometry toolbox. b. Select the Export to Native tool. c. Follow the prompts and Locate Elements - select the East Street alignment. d. Continue and select the North Street alignment e. Reset to complete. NOTE: Below are the export details as they relate to each of the native products: InRoads automatically writes alignments to the active InRoads Geometry Project. If you have not loaded a geometry project the geometry is exported to the default project. A prompt is displayed if there are any geometry elements in an unsaved geometry project when you exit the software. GEOPAK prompts for the name of an existing GPK file where the geometry will be exported. If a GPK file does not already exist it will have to be created using the native GEOPAK coordinate geometry tools. MXROAD A model must be created and the civil geometry set to one of the auto export feature definitions before running the Export to Native tool. 26

27 Review the Geometry in the Native Product In this step, you will review the geometry in its native format using the native tools, not the OpenRoads tools. In order to verify that the geometric elements were exported successfully, you will view and report on the alignments using the native tools. Take special note that vertical alignments (profiles) were included in the export. 1. Select File > Open from the MicroStation drop-down menu. a. Browse and open the file Native Terrain and Geometry.dgn NOTE: If necessary, you may delete the existing terrain graphics. 2. Using the native tools, review the alignment named East_Street: a. Report on the alignment b. Display the horizontal alignment c. Annotate the alignment with any geometric information When an OpenRoads horizontal alignment is exported to native, the associated profiles are automatically exported as well. 3. Review the associated vertical alignment for East Street named EastSt_Prof a. Report on the vertical alignment (profile) b. Create a profile and display the vertical alignment 4. Review the associated vertical alignment for North Street: a. Report on the vertical alignment (profile) NorthSt_Prof b. If time allows, create a profile and display the vertical alignment NOTE: For more information on utilizing the native GEOPAK, InRoads, or MXROAD tools, please refer to the SELECTseries 2 courses available on the LEARNserver. 27

28 Export the Geometry Using a Graphical Filter In this exercise, you will learn how to export horizontal and vertical alignments to their native format using a graphical filter. Take note that the export of geometry does not create a file directly, but moves the selected elements into the active native geometry data structure within the current OpenRoads session. 1. Open the South Blvd-Imperial.dgn [South Blvd-Metric.dgn] file. 2. Turn on the level Geom_ROW in View 1. NOTE: Be sure that View 1 is active through the following steps. 28

Verify the exported geometry in the native tools. 30

31 Review the Geometry and Terrain in the Native Product In this step, you will review and utilize the geometry and terrain in its native format using the native tools, not the OpenRoads tools. The main objective of this exercise is to allow you to gain experience utilizing the native tools in conjunction with the OpenRoads tools. 1. Select File > Open from the MicroStation drop-down menu. a. Browse and open the file Native Terrain and Geometry.dgn NOTE: If necessary, you may delete the existing terrain graphics. 2.
