Issue with mass haul diagram annotation

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create annotations for a Mass Haul Diagram in OpenRoads Designer, but I’m having an issue with the ordinate mass values on the vertical tick labels.

For the annotation, I had to reference information from the cross section annotation settings because I could not find an equivalent variable/text favorite available in the profile annotation settings for the Mass Haul Diagram.

The problem is that the values in the vertical ordinate labels always display as “0”, even though the diagram report itself is calculated correctly.

I’m attaching screenshots showing:

* how the ordinate annotations currently appear;
* and the Text Favorite/annotation expression I’m currently using.

Does anyone know if there is another Text Favorite, property, or annotation variable that should be used to pull the correct ordinate mass values for a Mass Haul Diagram?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

issues with the automatic spacing/arrangement of cross sections

Hi everyone,

I’m having some issues with the automatic spacing/arrangement of cross sections in OpenRoads Designer 2025.

I configured my Sheet Boundary to fit multiple cross sections on the same sheet, but when the sections are automatically organized by OpenRoads, some of them end up overlapping/stacking on top of each other, as shown in the image below.

What I would like is to keep a consistent spacing between each section, something around 5 meters between the limits of each cross section, so they do not overlap vertically or horizontally.

I’ve already tried adjusting the sheet layout settings, but I still can’t get a proper automatic distribution.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows which setting controls the spacing between cross sections inside the sheet boundary?

I’m attaching screenshots showing how the sections are currently being placed

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know why my side slope annotations aren't working?

I've set the correct features as the final condition, edited the starting point feature of the annotation to load the 3D annotation. But nothing works...

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to properly configure an Annotation Group for Cross Sections in OpenRoads, but I’m stuck on a specific setup and could really use some help.

What I’m aiming for is an annotation that displays offset and elevation like this:

OFF=3.00m

Elev=5.508m

And I need it to behave like this:

-Text oriented vertically

-Line break between offset and elevation

-A leader starting from the section point and pointing to the center of the text

-Automatic organization/placement when annotating the cross section (no manual adjustments)

I’ve already tried different combinations of:

-Annotation Definitions

-Text Favorites

-Point annotation in annotage group manager

But I still can’t get everything working together the way I want.

I’m attaching some screenshots showing:

-How the section annotation is currently looking

-How I configured the point annotation

-How I set up the label definition

Has anyone managed to set something like this up?

Any tips on how to structure the Annotation Definition or Text Favorite for this behavior?

Appreciate any guidance 🙏
