Roads and Maritime Services MX OpenRoads workspace Ian Urban CADD Analyst Road Design Engineering Roads and Maritime Services New South Wales

Outline Introduction What you get Folder structure Details.

Introduction Starter pack More elements will be added Has had input from industry Will have to be reconfigured for OpenRoads Designer. More elements added as OpenRoads experience grows in Roads and Maritime Services and Industry Has had input from Beca and Arcadis Will have to be reconfigured to run with OpenRoads Designer.

What you get Civil cells Design standards for horizontal and vertical alignments Superelevation standards Widening standards Feature definitions Element Templates Project settings for corridor design stages Corridor Templates Terrain display Terrain filters Feature Definitions: These are used to hold the properties and settings for most of the features used in OpenRoads. Templates: The basic building blocks to get you going Will eventually build up a library of Project based templates Roads and Maritime standard pavement templates Roads and Maritime Kerbs and Gutters. Terrain Display: Settings for Calculated features, such as Contours.

What you get Working cross section layout configuration Roads and Maritime Services SUDA feature definitions Australian pit and pipe data Custom reports.

Folder structure Most of the resource files - under “RMS-Civil-2017 Project” All of the configuration - contained in “RMS-Civil- 2017.pcf” Most of the resource files sit under RMS-Civil-2017 Project area in the MicroStation Workspace in an OpenRoads folder. All of the configuration for how OpenRoads accesses these files is contained in “RMS-Civil-2017.pcf”.

The details – civil cells Example Bentley Roads and Maritime Services ones are: AUL series BAL series BAR series CHL series CHR series. The Civil cells provided are a mixture of Roads and Maritime and selected Bentley cells (to be used as examples)

The details – design standards Based on Roads and Maritime standards Horizontal and vertical.

The details – superelevation Superelevation supplied is Austroads 8th Edition 2003.

The details – widening Based on AustRoads ARDG03-16 which is the same as in RMS Supplement to Austroads Vehicles catered for: 12.5m Single Unit truck 19m Semi Trailer 25m B Double 36.2m A Double 1, 2, 3 and 4 lanes ARDG03-16 Spreadsheet provided If widening applied where turning path required a 3m widening is applied. Table is same as in RMS Maritime Supplement to Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 3: Geometric Design - Version 2.0 -12 Aug 2015

The details – feature definitions RMS-3D-Linear For creating features that have a 3D line style, such as wire rope and W- Beam. Components from PC and Beca

The details – feature definitions RMS-Components. Components are the solid objects that are part of your templates, i.e. the bit that gets extruded Will look at in more detail when discussing templates.

The details – feature definitions RMS-MXRoad: Created from RMS-MXRoad style set Maps properties of MX strings to and from OpenRoads Has been categorised to enable easier navigation.

The details – feature definitions RMS-Terrain Display Definitions for the display of terrains Controls display of: Break lines Boundaries Imported contours Islands Holes Voids Spots Triangles Display configuration is done in element templates.

The details – project settings Control how corridors and linear templates are displayed Used to decrease the template drop interval Also used by surveyors for: Survey settings for a project For example, linking codes and adjustment defaults. Used to decrease the template drop interval: Makes processing a corridor faster Controlled by the Template Drop Multiplier function. Also used by surveyors for: Survey settings for a project eg Linking Codes and Adjustment Defaults.

The details – terrain filters Used for grouping data in an OpenRoads design Must be 3D Can be filtered by feature or symbology Uses are for grouping: Surface features to send to MX Sub-grade features Pavement features Barrier strings Features can be selected by defining a number of attributes, such as: Level Element type Civil features etc.

The details – template library Introduction and configuration: Every job is different Point feature – is a string in cross section Point and component naming Linking point names to MX string names Moving towards a unified naming convention suitable for all stages of a BIM project. This is where you will spend most of your time. Every job is different and it’s the design and application of templates that create a road. A lot of thought has gone into Point and Component naming: Get a naming convention that minimises duplication Top surface point names will change depending on what feature they represent in the final template Linking Point names to MX string names: Allows features to go back to MX and display correctly in plan, etc. In OpenRoads Designer we will be moving towards a unified naming convention that would be suitable for all stages of a BIM project.

The details – template library What is in the library: Barriers Channels Interfaces Kerb and gutter Pavement types Verges and batters Example templates. Barriers – Type F with Left, Right and Middle placement. Channels – Lined Table Drain. Interfaces – A few basic interfaces, plus some from the Pacific Hwy. Kerb and Gutter – All the standard ones. Pavement Types: This is where most of the Roads and Maritime development has been done They are the building blocks of a template. More detail on next slide… Verges and Batters – A few combinations of these plus some topsoil examples. Template Examples – to give you ideas on how templates are created.

The details – template library Pavement types: Pavement components Type F (Flexible) F1 to F10 Type B (Bridge) B1 to B3 Type R (Rigid) R1 to R6 Base pavement components folder Subgrade strings added to RMS-MXRoad style set. Pavement Components have been created for all of the pavement's in the Roads and Maritime Standard Pavement drawings: Type F (Flexible) – F1 to F10 Type B (Bridge) – B1 to B3 Type R (Rigid) – R1 to R6 The “Base Pavement Components” folder contains all of the individual pavement layers. The Roads and Mariotime MXRoad Style Set has been modified to include subgrade strings which are created when using pavement templates.

The details – cross sections Cross section creation and drawing is controlled by using a series of preferences To create the sections use the “RMS-Sheet-Stacked-5-per-Row”. Cross Section creation and drawing is controlled by using a series of preferences. preferences are available in the “Create Cross Sections” tool and the “Annotate Cross Sections” tool. RMS has developed a set of preferences to draw “working” cross sections at a scale of 1:500 To create the sections use the “RMS-Sheet-Stacked-5-per-Row”: This cuts the sections and will try to fit up to five per row It also places the Roads and Maritime Border around the sections.

The details – cross section Use “Annotate Cross Sections” Tool Annotation on the cross sections at a scale of 1:500 Apply the preferences one at a time Ensure cross section model is correct Ensure that the correct surface is used. Use the “Annotate Cross Sections” Tool. Has Roads and Maritime preferences to create the annotation on the cross sections at a scale of 1:500. You apply the preferences one at a time. For the Design annotation use the Design preferences. For existing annotation use the Existing preferences. For Slope and Crossfalls use the Slope+Xfalls. Ensure that your Cross Section Model (MicroStation Model, not MX) is correct so that all your annotations get added to the drawing. Ensure that you are using the correct surface for either your design or existing features.

The details – data for SUDA Inlet Pits, headwalls and energy dissipaters have been modelled in 3D Contained in “RMS Subsurface Utilities Cells.cel” Pits have three parts. All Roads and Maritime Inlet Pits, Headwalls and Energy Dissipaters have been modelled in 3D for use in SUDA. Contained in “RMS Subsurface Utilities Cells.cel”. Pits are divided into three parts: Top. 3D model of the kerb shape and grate Bottom. 3D extendable part of the pit that will take pipe connections Plan. Representation of the pit in a 2D plan view.

The details – data for SUDA Headwalls - created for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cells Energy dissipaters - created for type 2 and 3, up to a 1050mm pipe.

The details – data for SUDA Hydraulic inlet data - supplied for all pit types Australian pipe data - “Concrete Pipe Classes.xml” AR&R 1987 storm data - “Australian Rainfall and Runoff 1987.xml”. Hydraulic inlet data based on Roads and Maritime standards is supplied for all pit types: Hydraulic data contained in “RMS Subsurface Utilities Feature Definitions.dgnlib”. Australian Pipe data is supplied “Concrete Pipe Classes.xml”. AR&R 1987 Storm data “Australian Rainfall and Runoff 1987.xml”.

The details – reports OpenRoads reports are available for: Geometric Corridors Components Milling Superelevation Terrains. Custom reports for: Horizontal alignment table HALGN, VALGN and VERAT reports for MX input GENIO files from OpenRoads to MX. OpenRoads comes with dozens of reports. These are available for all of the areas of OpenRoads: Geometric Corridors Components Milling Super Elevation Terrains. Custom Reports have been developed for Roads and Maritime: Horizontal Alignment table HALGN, VALGN and VERAT reports for MX input GENIO files from OpenRoads to MX.
