Compound Curve with Spiral Segments Tool

A geometry tool is needed to easily create a Compound Horizontal Curve with Spiral segments. Having the ability to quickly compute a Spiral-Curve-Spiral-Curve-Spiral between two tangents would be greatly beneficial to the track design work we do. ...

Ability to Place Geometry Points that use Parametric Cells

I would like Geometry Points to support using parametric cells.

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Allow users to see horizontal and vertical alignments while in view only mode.

Wise users open files in read-only mode when they don’t intend to change the file. ORD should promote good file practice to allow us to view geometry when we are in view only mode.

Graphically edit the profile by variable slope

It would be good to have the option to drag the start and end stations of the profile by variable slope from element in the profile window. Similarly as the partial offset tool in plan. At the moment the user needs to update values in the properti...

Geometry manipulator handles on offsets do not overlap with manipulator text with zero offset

Currently when offsetting elements, different manipulator handles appear, however unless you go into the preferences and changes the arrow manipulator size, it is very difficult or impossible to select the trim/extend manipulator handle because it...

Improve Civil Analysis to another alignment

Wasn't sure whether to post this to technical support as a bug or here. This is a tiny concern in the greater scheme of things but a frustration nonetheless. Suppose you use civil analysis tool to track a horizontal alignment with an active vertic...

Add ability to create an Event Point list in the OpenRoads Designer SDK.

I would like to programmatically create a new EventPoint list for an alignment. Looking through the Bentley.CifNET.GeometryModel.Tools.Helpers methods, I found GetEventPointList(Alignment) that returns a List<Bentley.CifNET.GeometryModel.KeySta...

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...

Support spaces for bearing input in geometry tools

The geometry tools should allow for spaces between degrees minutes and seconds (N78 34 22E). This format is supported in the Geometry Builder but not the other geometry tools and the inconsistence is frustrating. Currently you have to enter either...
