12 - 15 Aug 2024

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

MicroStation is built into OpenRoads and MicroStation CONNECT I (or a basic working knowledge) is a prerequisite to this course. This course guides you through an OpenRoads Designer (ORD) roadway workflow using terrain models, civil geometry, dynamic profiles, creating templates, corridor modeling, dynamic sections, volumes, plottable sections, plan and profile creation as well as proposed terrain model creation. The drafting portion of the software is covered in MicroStation CONNECT I.

23 - 25 Sep 2024

3 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course teaches the basics of 3D drafting & solids modeling using either MS or ORD applications. Goes beyond the basics of 2D drafting by exploring 3D concepts needed for working on civil-related projects including basic 3D drafting. Other concepts - creating 3D parametric cells, creating single sheets (plan & typical sections), creating special auxiliary sheets, creating reports and tables, working with raster images like aerial photos and topo maps and using Bing Maps for background images.

21 - 24 Oct 2024

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course is designed for civil engineers and designers who currently use OpenRoads Designer (ORD) for design and evaluation of highway or other corridor projects. It goes above and beyond the basic ORD course to enhance the students’ productivity and troubleshooting skills with the software in the topics listed below, with a primary focus on corridors and the creation of 3D models.

22 - 23 Oct 2024

2 days, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM

This training presents an overview of the AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide" with an emphasis on Kentucky Transportation Cabinet policies and practices. The AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide" is the textbook for this course and a copy will be given to each student as a part of the training enrollment fee.
