Designed as an introduction to Bentley’s OpenRoads Designer civil design software, this course focuses on OpenRoads Designer tools, new features, and new workflows required for civil projects. Much has changed with the introduction of OpenRoads, including new tools and streamlined workflows, parametric design elements, dynamic 3D modeling, and more. Even the way design information is formatted and stored has changed. All of these improvements represent a leap forward for Bentley’s civil design applications. The goal of this course is to introduce many of the tools and workflows necessary to produce a road design using OpenRoads Designer software. Design fundamentals and advanced functionality are not covered as part of this course.
