SUDA - Spread Slope

Make it easier to manage longitudinal spread slope. It's nice to input the slope in the properties per node, but consider making it integrated to the gutters used during bypass flow drawing of gutters.

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...

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

GIS Interoperability

I would like to see some of the tools from OpenCities, mainly the ability to read a geodata base, integrated into OpenRoads. Since Bentley Map was removed from the Select Series application and not added to the OpenRoads, we have very little GIS i...

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

When using the Set Feature Definition tool on non-civil geometry, have it include Item Types attached to Feature Definition.

Currently, when using the Set Feature Definition tool to assign a Feature Definition to a non-civil element (ie a dumb MSCE line) it does not include the Item Types that are attached to the Feature Definition.

Incorrect arc radius for turnout outer curve switch.

For turnout annotation, we need to add turnout with LLS Extension from the library. I know that it is possible to add LLS radius value for a defined curved turnout in the library, but for a complex project where there are a lot of curved turnouts ...

No subtraction of sleepers from ballast in corridor report

Corridor report does not subtract the volume of sleepers we added to the model from the ballast. I propose to add in the next version of ORD the possibility to subtract in the ballast the added sleepers.

No possibility to set the lower limit height of the profile

When creating profiles using ,,Named Boundary”, I cannot set the lower height limit of the profile. I propose to add in the next part of ORD setting the lower height limit if we want to make one drawing sheet from profile. This would help with the...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...
