Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Superelevation Rounding

Can there be added functionality to force rounding up rather than just being a standard rounding of what is set in the superelevation file editor? As it sits currently, if your rounding is set to 1, if a curve meets a value between 0 and .5 the su...

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

Add all feature definition types to cross section annotation groups.

Currently, annotation groups are limited to certain feature definition categories. This limits our ability to automatically annotate point features such as signs or geotech borings or drainage/utility nodes. It would be desirable to extract data f...

Reverse direction of an existing complex element

A tool to reverse the direction of an existing complex element. There is a workaround by complexing the complex element but not an ideal solution.

Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Coupling between horizontal and vertical regrerssion lines

A very problematic area is the coupling between horizontal and vertical regression analysis. Generally speaking, one must create a horizontal regression line first, create regressed elements, couple them together in a complex geometry and then pro...
