Display A parameter (not Length) after using "Create Civil Rule Feature" option.

When I create an alignment with curves using A parameter and when I select this alignment "A parameter" will be properly displayed. Then when I "Remove Rule" and use "Create Civil Rule Feature" tool, A parameter will be replaced with "Length".

Snap to specific chainage in Plan

In PRT it was possible to snap a smart line to a specific chainage in plan by using the key-in 'SO=xxx'. In OpenRail the closest tool I can find is Civil Accudraw with station-offset toggled on, but I have found that often CivilAccudraw does not w...

I need to create a quick profile that can be graphically manipulated BEFORE I create a corridor or do any detailed design.

The Bentley training videos all create a corridor and cross sections before a profile is created that can be edited. I need a profile of the existing ground BEFORE I do any detailed vertical profile design. That way I can see if it works visually ...

horizontal regression for points

in Inroads there was an option to select points to put in regression in geometry to create a best fit alignment. You could then do a single element regression analysis afterwards and it would give you the best fit line and how far in either direct...
