Channels Attach to other nodes besides headwall

If ditches do become channel features, KYTC would need channels to then be able to attach to other node types besides headwalls since we have many conditions and locations where they outlet into inlets of various types.

Ditches be channel features

It would be wonderful if ditches were channel features so that they could be treated as surface features like gutters are to get head on inlet.

Custom Grate Spacing and Sizes

It would be amazing if we could utilize our own grate spacing for calculating the head on inlets. KYTC has several grates that don't quite match with what is in the delivered system, and this may affect the depth of the head on the inlet.

Element Templates Point to Multiple Cells

At KYTC we like to show the vaults of drainage structures, in order to do that S&S drew them for us. ORD does that in 3D, however, we turn the 3D off when producing plans. It would help in the case that we could point to two cells (one that ma...

Add custom line style automation for pipes in Drainage & Utilities

There is currently no way to utilize multiple custom line styles (or element templates) for pipes in plan view for Drainage and Utilities so that they are tied to the drainage property and will update to the correct line style if the pipe size cha...

Trim with Connection Points/Regions on opposite sides of cell

I would like to have the ability to put connection regions and connection points on opposite ends of cells, specifically aprons. Currently, the apron won't trim with this setup.

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...

Add the ability to place banks of conduits.

Electrical and Communications conduits are usually placed in banks of multiple conduits of say 12 conduits which may be of different sizes.

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...
