Land Use Areas from a Reference

It would be nice to extract Land Use Data from a reference file rather than requiring the Land Use Areas always be drawn in the main drainage design file. This would both cut down on clutter in the design file and also allow larger areas to be del...

GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...

Update Extract from Graphic Order of Settings

In the Extract from Graphic tool, the conduit feature definition needs to be set prior to the node feature definition to pull the appropriate corresponding nodes from the workspace. Could the conduit feature definition settings be listed above the...

Create a rule to set drainage node to (active terrain) when setting elevation reference

Presently when setting reference elevation for the node it lets you set it to the active terrain but does not rule it to the (active terrain). If this were done the inlet tops would automatically adjust as the design terrain changes.

Display and Annotate Tap Nodes in Profile Drawing

The feature name (e.g. a number) of the tap node can be labeled in the plan.The tap is visible in the "Engineering Profile".It would be helpful if this could also be displayed and labeled in the profile view/drawing. How it should work: Tap Node i...

Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Commands to Place Node and Conduit <Type> (e.g. Place Manhole, Place Stormwater Conduit)

At the moment, you run Place Node, then set the type of node by picking a feature definition. However, you normally know what type of node that you want to place, such as a manhole for example,so it would be more intuitive if the ribbon contained ...

Automate Node labelling in Cross Section drawings

We need to be able to label nodes in cross sections drawings automatically. At the moment, this can only be done one node at a time, unlike conduits, which can be labeled automatically.
