Move IP to change vertical alignments

Editing the location of an intersection point by just clicking and moving it was possible in PowerRail track - can we have that functionality back as it's a good tool to quickly see changes in alignment when optioneering.

Generate corridor in 2d if no active profile

Can we please the functionality to create 2D rails? Currently if the alignment has no active profile, rails will not be generated. But it's an important feature that's useful for track designers, but also for interdisciplinary design. Rail separat...

How can I design a turnout in 3D. Not only the rail but also all other details, such as sleepers, tongues, etc

Up to now the rails of the turnout can be created in 3D as 3D rails, but the turnout has many other elements, above all the sleepers are divided and all have different dimensions. How could this be created as 3D elements?

Allow user to change default settings

When I open a profile view, the default vertical exaggeration is 10. That is way too much. And I hate having to change it every time I open a profile view. Everyone is diffferent, though. I'm sure some folks love it. It would be nice if there was ...

Create Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates

Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...

Warning if we attach a dgn with ss4/ss10 schema data

As projects are still transitioning to ORD, I propose for a warning in ORD if someone tries to attach a reference dgn file that includes ss4/ss10 civil schema. As I understand it can be dangerous to mix these types of data especially if something ...

Tool to convert Parametric Cell to a 2D Civil Cell

Civil Cells are often difficult to create due to it's use of parent-child relationships. I find it easier to create what I'm looking for by using constraints and variables for Parametric Cells. I think most Parametric Cells act similar to how a Ci...

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...
