5/5
What do you like best about OpenRoads Designer?

OpenRoads Designer is going in a great direction. Moving away from many external files that house the data and maintaining the data in the DGN is awesome. The user interface is excellent and the way Bentley maintains the same basic look and feel and familiar tools is very powerful and appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenRoads Designer?

The tools for subsurface utilities could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Update 9 And Still Not Ready For Production"
1.5/5
What do you like best about OpenRoads Designer?

Overall, the corridor design interface is an improvement over InRoads roadway designer. Superelevation editing workflow also showing some progress but still has a way to go. Civil cells are a nice idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenRoads Designer?

Where to start?

No thought for design iteration

Terrible clothoid implementation

Focus on groups of data rather than the data itself

Difficult to get usable construction data

Quick sketches not possible without considerable setup

Limited data compatibility between updates

All design work done in 2D

Huge amount of extraneous data retained

Challenging to change constraints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
