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...

Having an Undo & Redo button for the Table Editor

Sometimes mistakes happen. Rather than closing out of the window and waiting for ORD to undo the mistake, the "Undo/Redo" button would make the design process all little smoother. The button won't end mistakes but it sure beats having to close out...

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection b...

Line and Curve Tables for both Alignments and Parcels

Need tools for creating Line and Curve tables with smarts. Geopak D&C had a tool for creating line and curve tables. Why doesn't OpenRoads have tools for this? Needs to be smart so that as changes are made to the geometry the data in the table...

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.

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Auto Create Event Points at Drainage Nodes

CTDOT would like the ability to create event points from Drainage Nodes. Many of our projects have a lot structures and manually adding event Points at each crossing is tedious. Projecting drainage on XSCs still does not work like we need it to, s...

Manual Editing of Cant: Make it easier and allow it to be permanent.

The "ruled" cant tries its best to calculate appropriate values of superelevation. Usually, these end up being over-ridden for many reasons, good or bad. Turning off the rules in Cant editor allows manual editing, but it is very time consuming, "r...

Add Create 3d Automatically Options

The Create 3d Automatically in the Feature Definition toolbar has the potential to be really powerful. Add the ability to have other options. The one I would most like to see is "Profile from Surface" based on vertices, locked to start and end.
