Improve civil geometry constraints

Provide an option to quickly apply combined horizontal and vertical constraints to geometry elements. Where geometry lines (breaklines) intersect, they need to share a common elevation. The current process requires creating profile intersection po...

Place Civil Cell on Referenced Survey Feature

I would like the ability to place a civil cell along a survey feature that is referenced. We use a simple civil cell and cross sections to help compute existing pavement cross slopes.

label contours

label contours from inroads. there are times we have to label elevated "graphic" lines (aka contours and or benches without having a terrain model). was very helpful in inroads)

add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

Be able to view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Geometry Points

I can view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Survey Points but for Geometry Points you have to annotate text graphics into your model. Seems to me that you should be able to view those the same weather it's a Geom...

Dimension display for skewed slopes

Would like to be able to have slope dimensions show a suffix of (SK) when showing skewed slopes or be able to define it to display with dual dimensions. The dual dimensions would show the actual plotted skewed slope 5.74:1(SK) and the designed slo...

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...

Add extra Coloum which shows Delta Value in Geometry Report at PC, PT, No Curve PI, SC and CS

Alerts users to the existence of "kinks" in horizontal alignments. These "kinks" are where the back and ahead tangents at PCs and PTs of curves are not on the same bearing. There is a small tolerance built in to eliminate rounding errors.

Profile: Edit (move, rotate and scale) annotations in profile model

Currently in OpenRail, one cannot edit profile annotations. In profile, one can only select an annotation group, but after all the annotations are placed, they are fixed and cannot be moved, scaled or rotated. In contrast, this is possible when on...

Include Civil Labels in Pen Table Element Selection Criteria

A client requires background fill in certain annotation notes, which is controlled by a pen table definition. Civil Labels are not included as a selectable Element Selection Criteria Type in the pen table dialog. Text background is insufficient fo...
