When working on sites and parking lot, sometimes we create a grading terrain to construct the slopes and low points than apply to it the pavement surface template. To model the sidewalks (think of a parking lot island) we create a clipped terrain ...
Add option to set forward/backward depth and forward/backward display while creating the cross section sheets.
When making named boundaries we were not able to select any settings or seed files that would let us select the options for forward/backward depth and forward/backward display. This means we had to go into each named boundary individually. Its imp...
ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.
Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.
This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.
Currently there is a menu option to unmerge points for components, it would be nice to just unmerge a single point from both components and not all the points.
Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements
The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...
Highlight selected objects through Project Explorer
Want: Objects in model would highlight when selected through the project explorer Why: if you have multiple objects say terrains, and you need to modify them, it would be very helpful to see them highlighted through the project explorer. Often tim...
