New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration

Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...

Have both turnouts as ''free'' when calculating a crossover

When calculating a crossover geometry (2 turnouts+geometry in between) it could be beneficial if both turnouts (beginning and end) could be set as free. This would be beneficial in cases when two tracks are not totall parallel and the only option ...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

Auto-annotate parametric constraints, template transitions, point controls, superelevation

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

Enable hydraulic analysis for referenced files

For large projects, we need the ability to have multiple engineers working on the hydraulic model. We can achieve this by splitting the pipe network into multiple files and creating catchments in separate files. Doing so causes us to lose the abil...

Select and apply multiple Annotation Groups at once.

Select multiple annotation groups and click annotate, instead of having to annotate each group individually.

Tabular profile annotation to include speed table values

As a light rail design engineer I want to produce profiles with a lot of information to be able to check a maximum amount of information on a single document.On critical information for light rail design is the maximum speed. This is because light...

"Curve Set" text favorite annotation should annotate entire curve set

Under the Curve Set option under Location, an option for Spiral Left Middle, Spiral Right Middle, Curve Left Middle, Curve Right Middle needs to be added. Ability to annotate the Middle of a Spiral and/or Curve within a Curve Set. These options ne...

Existing Cant

Currently in ORD existing cant can only either be viewed graphically in the curvature diagram or from within the cant editor. Current workflows to annotate existing cant in profile require the projection of both left and right rails in the vertica...
