Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Incorporate an ORD roadway designer window & file (.ord)

I'll be honest, the implementation ORD's strength is the software's weakest point. Being able to visually see the model in the 2D default model theoretically sounds great but the execution is costing too much time and money on medium to large scal...

When we create a features, we want to see them sometimes in 2D, sometimes in 3D, sometimes in profiles, sometimes in cross sections. It would be nice to have a simply parameter "Draw/show in 2D", "Draw/show in 3D", "Draw/show in Profile", "Draw/sh...
