Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Hatching in Cross section drawing model

The create region tool doesn't recognize visible edges from the 3d model to create closed shapes by flood. There are many instances were it is needed to calculate areas in cross sections.

Insert Vertex tool

Tool that adds vertex at chosen interval to a selected element segments. The "facet" tool is supposed to achieve this, but it is not designed to respect original element vertexes. So it ends up modifing the element path. The tool should work insid...

Access OBM directly instead of opening OBD first

It would really be helpful for users with OBD to not have to open OBD prior to opening OBM. That is a big pain point that I get a lot of complaints about. Also it is very confusing for users at first, they don't understand why they can't just clic...

Merge and separate geometry with dependencies from and into multiple DGNs

When you have multiple files with geometry which reference each other, I think there should be a tool to allow you to merge those DGN's into one without losing relationships e.g. I can merge my main alignment file and the file which contains my ch...

Create Profile Named Boundary of non-active Verticals

We need a way to manually select the vertical alignment (profile element) when creating Profile named boundaries (instead of assuming we want to use the active vertical). In cases where we have divided roadways that follow a shared centerline but ...

Viewing Corridor Object and Dynamic Cross Section Tools in Read-Only

I sometimes have to look at another user's Corridor file to get additional details. If I reference in their file or open it read only, I'm not able to open up Corridor Objects to see what template they are using. It would be useful to allow me to ...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN

Measure rail interval similar to Pro Rail extension

In Bentley Rail Track, there was an extension called Pro Rail that allows users to measure the interval between rail dynamically. Right now, we are able to report that using Station-Offset report but we are not able to track it which makes it chal...

Improve Civil Labeler so it doesn't leave little circles in the dgn

Currently, when labels are placed, small circle elements are added to the file. While these circles are necessary for maintaining the connection between the element and the label, they present several challenges: File Clutter: The addition of h...
