Limit the types of models that can have coordinate systems

Would be nice if the non-indexed profile models and cross section models prevented users from being able to assign coordinate systems. Also would be nice if coordinate systems weren't able to be attached to sheet models either. Since coordinate sy...

Check for unused/orphaned templates

As a project progresses templates can be created that are no longer needed. Currently I need to manually make a list of templates that are used in the model, then go back to the template library and remove unused templates. I'd like to see a tool ...

Fix the contours

Why aren't the proposed contours coming in at the correct elevations? For example, a 400' contour is coming in at 399.8743' and not 400.0000'. In another surface, the true elevations differs. contours will not match. For design purposes, the eleva...

Create Cut Fill Volumes from one element

Extension of the "Create Cut Fill Volumes" function with the ability to choose whether calculations will be performed for a selected element (similar to the function "Create Closed Mesh") or for all elements included in the model (just like it's b...

Allow Lanes in Superelevation Model View to take on the colors used in Superelevation Editor

This will help users more easily differentiate between lanes while in the Superelevation Model.

Allow Assignment to Multiple Alternate Surfaces

There are often points in a template that should belong to multiple surfaces. For instance, we have a point in our rural templates that is part of the top mesh and should also belong to our aggregate shoulder alternate surface and our subgrade sur...

Define Station (similar to Internal Station) from defined alignment

It is often that alignment starting from a turnout is using mainline stationing at toe of the turnout. So it would be useful to have a method to define station at first or last point of Alignment-A from Alignment-B, and ruled.Maybe not limited to ...

Add elevation ranges when measuring volume between terrains.

In Geopak, there was a tool under DTM Tools > Analysis > Volumes, where you could specify elevation ranges to calculate the volumes, while also taking into account the volumes between two TINs. You were able to specify multiple contour inter...

Place 1 Cross Section per Sheet (or other predefined number of cross sections)

We want to place only one cross section per sheet so that once a pdf is created, the user can flip through the pdf pages quickly and each cross section appears in the same spot. We can sort of trick this by changing the spacing, but it would be mu...

Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.
