Survey control points

I am working on a grading plan for a site with a very irregular shaped polygon serving as the boundary. I have to label each point along the horizontal geometry with xyz coordinates. This looks very crammed on the sheet view. What would be a better method?

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.

Corridor Model Gaps between Template Drops

Hello,

I am trying to model two different types of retaining walls. The two types of retaining walls are both distinctively different shapes that will not transition into each other and will be modeled to display flush with each other.

I have display rules created so that the wall generates based on the height of the end condition.

Type A Wall : End Condition > 5ft
Type B Wall : End Condition </= 5ft

The issue that I am running into is that at the “abrupt transition” point between the two types of walls ends up being a gap in my corridor model. It should instead generate the two types of walls flush with each other.

Ive tried feature name overrides which solves the gap but ends up triangulating the top of wall from one wall type to another which I don’t want.

I’ve tried setting the components up to be two separate template drops without any success either. For example:

Wall Template A STA 0+00 to 50+00
Wall Template B STA 50+00 to 100+00

Even though I’m manually telling the model to drop the two types of walls flush at station 50+00 there ends up being a gap between the two types of walls.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
