OpenRoads Designer Video Tip: Geometry Point Numbering
In this video, we walk through how to control geometry point seed numbers in Bentley OpenRoads Designer by editing the Seed Name within a Feature Definition. This lesser-known configuration option allows CAD managers and designers to standardize point numbering, improve annotation consistency, and align geometry workflows with DOT and agency CAD standards.
You’ll learn where the geometry point seed is defined, how OpenRoads Designer automatically increments point numbers, and how modifying the seed name inside the feature definition impacts horizontal geometry creation. This workflow is especially useful when developing or maintaining an OpenRoads workspace, enforcing naming conventions, or supporting a transition from InRoads to OpenRoads Designer.
Whether you’re a CAD manager, design lead, or OpenRoads power user, this tutorial will help you gain better control over geometry point management and avoid common numbering conflicts across projects.
