Geometry Connector: automatically use turnout radius when connecting an arc to a turnout

When using Geometry Connector to connect turnouts, it is often that we must extend the last arc of the turnout. Because the arc is in the turnout we cannot extend it. Instead, we must add an arc of same radius. It would be nice that in such situat...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Retaining turnouts when horizontal alignments are dropped.

Currently when an alignment is dropped (no longer complex) all associated turnouts delete entirely and any geomtery created from these turnoiuts is also deleted. This is a big issue when optioneering, or when working on a scheme with lots of turno...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

Reverse direction of an existing complex element

A tool to reverse the direction of an existing complex element. There is a workaround by complexing the complex element but not an ideal solution.

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Enhance Design Standards to flag gaps in Geometry & apply to Feature Definitions

Additional functionality is needed for Design Standards to be fully functional for project delivery. Some additional thins include: Allow Design Standards to be optionally assigned to Alignment Feature Definitions so Alignments are created with th...

Add ability for Geometry build to automate station equations when joining complex geometry

In the Geometry Builder Edit, I can pick multiple geometry complex alignments and add them to create a 'combined' geometry. When I pick the multiple geometry elements and combine them, it starts with the alignment stationing of the first selected ...
