Geometry

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.

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...

Create a tool to clip alignments.

Create a tool to clip an alignment at any location along the alignment that does not affect or change the stationing or the station equations even if you are clipping the beginning of the alignment.

Assign Feature Definition to Complex Geometry to automatically apply to parent elements of the complex

When using Set Feature Definition (FD) or change FD in Properties dialog, to assign / change a FD to a Complex Geometry, such process only affects the Complex Element entity itself, i.e. FDs of all geometry elements which the complex element is ma...

Static grid in profile view

I would like to have possibility to turn on static grid in geometry profile view. Something like the ability to set the main grid and minor grid intervals in the geometry profile view in the same way like it is done in drawings and sheets and make...

Graphics should be excluded from being made part of a complex alignment

If a grahic, a constuction line for example, is touching an alignment element, it will be included in the alignment when the "automatic" funtion is used in Create Complex Geomtery tool The create complex geomtry tool should only take into account ...

Add option for rounding corners when using the "Geometry Offsets and Tapers" Tool

With regular MicroStation lines, when using the "move parallel" tool (Offset), there is an option to choose "Round" which creates rounded corners for the offset line. There should be a similar option when using the ORD Tool "Offsets and Tapers." C...

Profile by Best Fit > Convert to Profile Rule requires ability to set vertical curve type

Create a best fit vertical profile and then convert to a Profile Rule. It only creates parabolas ... we need the ability to create a circular vertical curve. The profile by Best Fit command may only utilize parabolas, but they ONLY work with circu...

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.
