Developing our Zen Guides to OpenRoads is one of our most aggressive material development projects we have ever undertaken.

Our expectation is to initially produce smaller topical guides resulting in an OpenRoads series of books. These will cover the main topics of the software and include MicroStation for the OpenRoads User, Configuration Fundamentals, The OpenRoads Terrain, Geometry Layout, Typical Section Creation & Editing, Modeling, Civil Cells, Site Design, and Plans Production to name a few. Eventually, and similar to what we have now with InRoads, we will be consolidating key material into a training guide that we will use in our classes.

We have been working on this material for some time, but since the software was officially release in April 2017, we have spent the majority of our efforts working on the configuration piece of the software. The OpenRoads Workspace is a critical prerequisite for the documentation that we are preparing, but that phase is essentially done.

As you may have heard, we have completed our core OpenRoads material - OpenRoads Fundamentals, OpenRoads Drainage and OpenRoads Survey and are currently offering training as well. While we are getting our website updated, you can contact us directly to purchase this material or if you have any questions. We are now working to expand the content of our OpenRoads books adding more advanced topics. Our plan is to have a full set of documents by the end of 2021. We feel that this aligns with the current pace of the software evolution and adoption strategies that we’re seeing in the industry.

Feel free to contact us if you want to purchase books, inquire about training or have any questions.
