Transition Length for Parametric Constraints

When using parametric constraints to transition between default template values and the desired value, a separate parametric constraint is often required to control the transition length. (ex. Default to New, New to New, New to Default) An optiona...

Expand range options of Horizontal Feature Constraints

Horizontal feature constraints are a huge benefit to streamlining corridor modeling and tying design intent to civil geometry. The range options (-, 0, +) are pretty limited and often trigger components to behave improperly. Adding more options to...

Civil Cells does not recognize turnout elements

Civil cells does not support turnout or crossing elements. Ability to include turnout and crossings in civil cells, will enable creating civil cells for siding and yard areas.

Description Fields for Corridor Inputs

For the modeling and model review process, it would be helpful to have Description fields for common corridor inputs, such as Parametric Constraints, Point Controls, etc. that can be easily discovered using the Corridor Objects tool.

Template Library Folder Configuration Variable

Civil configuration variables exist for opening a default/workset template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY) and for the default path when performing a save as on a template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY_SAVEAS) but when opening a...

Temporary Dimension Lines in XSection Views

Currently in the XSection viewer in OpenRoads Designer if you have a corridor or linear template that touches our butts up against another corridor you can't place temporary dimension lines on those components to make measurements if the linear or...

Control the level/feature definition of surface templates selection layer

Currently when you select a surface template in 3D view, a ghost mesh element under the "Default" level appears. I believe this element defines the surface template as a whole. There is presently no way of controlling this element to assign it a f...

Corridor Template Feature Definition override

I want to show in our corridor models the areas where we are using erosion control measures vs using general seeding. Currently, the only real way to make this distinction is to either create a new template that uses a different feature definition...

Generate 2D Closed Shape from Corridor Component or Other Mesh

It would be extremely useful to have the option to generate a 2D shape of the top planar surface of a 3D component that updates as the corridor changes. This would be similar to how corridor points can already generate a 2D line if specified in th...
