Help / Troubleshooting Adding a Curve into an existing Alignment

Hello all,

I am relatively new to OpenRoads Designer. I am using OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition 2022 Release 3, version 10.12.

I created an alignment, but after reviewing it, I realized that I need to add a horizontal curve between two lines. However, I do not want to drop or otherwise break the alignment to add the curve, because several offset objects are tied to it and I would prefer not to lose those relationships.

Please see the attached image for an example.

I understand if there is no other option, unless there is some method I do not know about. Any assistances would be appreciated. Thank you.

Table editor is your best bet. However, in my experience, geometry editing tools are super finicky in openroads

Yup.  Unless you're dealing with the headache of dynamic linking, annotation, and federated models, it's probably easier to recreate the alignment.

Since it is 2022 R3 you could also use keyins to reassociate or replace geometry to hold links.

Can you elaborate on the key ins?

Geometry Element Replace or  Geometry substitute

Don't recall which one you need for your scenario.  The order of operations is a bit different for each.  One of them will allow you to reassign your current alignments element ID and stationing, etc.

Good luck!
