Add a Reference File Selection Capability in the Profile Model Create 3D Cut Tool

In the Create 3D Cut tool, it would be nice to be able to select which reference file(s) the user would like to use when creating 3D cuts in the profile model. This capability would keep ORD from 3D cutting all attached reference files.

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

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...

Geometry Connector: automatically use turnout radius when connecting an arc to a turnout

When using Geometry Connector to connect turnouts, it is often that we must extend the last arc of the turnout. Because the arc is in the turnout we cannot extend it. Instead, we must add an arc of same radius. It would be nice that in such situat...

Snap control for 3d cut profile attachment

We need a snap setting to be active by default for self-attached attachments created by 3d cuts in profiles. Currently, the snap setting is set to off by default, which forces us to always turn it on manually in the attachments dialog, which is an...

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...

Ruled Copy Enhancement to Complex By Element Tool

There is currently not a way to create a ruled copy of an element when using the Complex By Element tool. Being able to create a ruled copy of a range of segments and curves into a complex element with a different feature definition would be a hel...

Ability to assign name and/or number to horizontal geometry PC/PT/PI/CC/etc

Or maybe auto-assigning sequential number with the ability to add a prefix based on Feature Definition? Some clients require labeling the horizontal geometry points with a name/number that coincides with tables/reports. This applies to roadway geo...

Join Function in Table Editor Function similar to in Bentley Rail Track Horizontal Check Integrity Box

The join function is not available to join two or more straights with the same bearing that falls under one 'Complex Geometry'. This is especially problematic currently for us as there is currently no way to join two straights (see 'ORD Join Funct...

Make Plan by 3D Element tool create Geometry with "Active Profile" to be usable

Unlike the OpenRoads v8i functionality for this tool, Plan by 3D Element does not create Geometry that has an Active Profile and therefore can't be used for the majority of functions users want by default, namely Point Controls (in ORD and OBM Dec...
