Auto-increment Geometry point names/numbers

Some users need to be able to assign unique point numbers. So, when creating a new geometry point, the user should be able to type in a starting point name/number (with or without a prefix) and once they place that point, it should automatically a...

Temporary dimension of elevation in dynamic cross section

Add the capability to see the elevation of a point(s) on a dynamic section with a temporary dimension, much like the width/height and slope is available with horizontal and vertical temporary dimension lines.

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.

Create Template Geometry - Option to create 2D Elements from points located below top surface

Currently only template points located on top surface can produce 2d linear elements. This also only seems possible, when the components they belong to, are not ‘Excluded From Top/Bottom Mesh’ (option in Component properties dialog) and the ‘Creat...

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

Staged Construction Optionality

Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...

Load Temporary Library ProjectWise Integration

When working in Projectwise projects, the "Load Temporary Library" ONLY allows us to select files from the server. It would be great if it would allow us to choose files from ProjectWise to temporarily load too.

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

Need ability to define variable wall thickness on conduits

For box shaped conduits, we need to be able to define top, bottom and side wall thicknesses independently. This allows modeling of box shapes which correspond to physical construction.
