Default Alignment Start Stationing

Include an ability to have a default Start Stationing for an alignment. It would save time (and improve consistency) for several of our alignments where we'd like the default stationing set at 10+00. I imagine many other users could appreciate thi...

Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...

Automatic/batch update of Profile 3D cut

This won't update immediatly when the 3D model is updated. This means that when going to plan production, all profiles needs to be refreshed.

Add a warning prompt before deleting a line if it has elements drawn in the profile view.

This warning would be useful to avoid loosing work done in profile views.

Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Define Station (similar to Internal Station) from defined alignment

It is often that alignment starting from a turnout is using mainline stationing at toe of the turnout. So it would be useful to have a method to define station at first or last point of Alignment-A from Alignment-B, and ruled.Maybe not limited to ...

Edit snap rules and constraints

Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...
