Allow for an elevation exaggeration in the 3d view/model

Letting users increase and decrease an exaggeration of the elevation data can help visualize drawings when looking from the side or angles.

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads

This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Flood Volumes - Surface analysis between three surfaces

It would be beneficial to have the ability to specify surface math logic - Above Existing, Below Proposed, and Below "Floodplain" (variable plane) to get good floodplain volumes.

Item Type Expression that References a Terrain

Similar to the new Station/Offset Expressions, it would be great to query a terrain in an item type on an element and return the elevation. It would be used primarily for point cells, but I could also see it being useful for linework.

Contour Edit Mode

It would be useful to allow editing of contours after a terrain model is created. Call it "Contour Edit Mode" and allow users to massage contours in areas and preserve these edits similar to how ORD now remembers triangle edits in 10.12.

Add Thinning option to the LandXML Terrain Import

We need the ability to add thinning option to the LandXML Terrain Import like when we import Terrain from Point Cloud, and it gives you the options to filter the points using the TIN or TILE method.

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.

Fix point cloud not found bug

There is a bug, many people in my company have experienced while creating a terrain. Essentially, sometimes when you're in the process of trying to create a terrain from a point cloud, the dgn says that no point cloud is attached. Previously, I co...
