Why take this course?

OpenRoads is the new combination of InRoads, GEOPAK and MX. In the Year in Infrastructure 2015 conference, Bentley Systems announced its OpenRoads CONNECT Edition software.

In this course we are going to go through basics of Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition.

For this course, we will start with an introduction, over view, keyboard shortcuts and user interface / navigation in Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition. We will try to go through all basics to get started.

We will try to cover up all basic commands to execute and edit horizontal geometries, vertical geometries, super elevations, corridors and terrains. We will also learn how to visualize different aspects of projects in different ways in order to get better conceptualization.

In later parts of this course, we will learn about civil cells which are preset templates in Bentley Open Roads Designer Connect Edition that become pretty handy when working on large scale projects.

Please be noted that there is no hard and fast rule to execute a specific command as there are multiple approaches to create similar output, however, we will try to follow the simplest approach possible to make this course easy and fun to learn for you.

I would expect that we also have the libraries available and the file names should be different that "supporting file" all the time. In the final projec, for instance, i didnt which of the files shall i start with. So, improvements shall be made as i expected a bit more but thank you for the course and congrats!!!

The transcript was not clear and often did not match the spoken lesson. The spoken lesson contained mostly useful information, but the speaker's voice sounded robotic and out of cadence, and as such was somewhat difficult to interpret by a native speaker of English. The final half-hour cumulative lesson (#48) did not explain often enough as to why the instructor was taking each individual step, especially during the vertical profile component. The intersection and median design in lesson #48 did not make logical sense from a traffic perspective, which was distracting. Improvements that would make the course more user friendly would be perhaps to have a more accurate transcript and to have the reasons behind each decision for what step to take made extra clear to the student.

Short and briefly explained. May require some exploration of tools by the students to better understand the software and its functionality.
