Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements

The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...

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...

Allow Terrain Filter by Civil Element Name

Terrain filters have the ability to use the Feature Definition, but a lot of the time we have elements that we do not want all elements of a feature definition to be captured by the terrain filter. Our current workaround is to have multiple versio...

In OpenRoads Designer Explorer, add a feature list for terrain features, similar to the new "point filter" dialog.

Currently features that make up a terrain can be viewed, added, or removed graphically. Would like to be able to see all terrain features in a table or list view, similar to point filter list. In addition, be able to add and remove or temporarily ...

Add minimum vertical clearance results to delta surface tool

After creating the delta surface, we could not determine the location of minimum vertical clearance. We tried the analyze surface tool and it showed us coordinates of the min/max locations. However, the locations were outside of the delta surface....

Ability to control segment length when triangulating.

We are currently not able to change segment length when triangulating surface. In SS2, you can define a segment length when triangulating a surface, but we cannot find this option in the OpenRoads application. There is a Survey stroking variable, ...
