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

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

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...

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Enable hydraulic analysis for referenced files

DU: Only modelling workflow

When starting a DU, OpenRoads creates a whole DU project inside the file and brings a lot of hidroly/hidraulic properties with it. That's fine if the goal is to run an analysis. But what if I just want to model a whole network and never run it? Di...

Ditches be channel features

It would be wonderful if ditches were channel features so that they could be treated as surface features like gutters are to get head on inlet.

Custom Grate Spacing and Sizes

It would be amazing if we could utilize our own grate spacing for calculating the head on inlets. KYTC has several grates that don't quite match with what is in the delivered system, and this may affect the depth of the head on the inlet.

Element Templates Point to Multiple Cells

At KYTC we like to show the vaults of drainage structures, in order to do that S&S drew them for us. ORD does that in 3D, however, we turn the 3D off when producing plans. It would help in the case that we could point to two cells (one that ma...
