add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

Improve civil geometry constraints

Provide an option to quickly apply combined horizontal and vertical constraints to geometry elements. Where geometry lines (breaklines) intersect, they need to share a common elevation. The current process requires creating profile intersection po...

Automatically calculate values when inputting into property fields

When inputting numbers into property fields, ORD can automatically calculate them for you. Example: Survey field team shoots the top of casting elevation of a manhole at 500ft, then shoots again for a bottom invert of the manhole but only leaves a...

Add Elevation Mode "3D Element" as an option when placing points

We need to have the ability to place points by snapping to 3D elements (ORD Geometry & Regular Microstation Linework) This is how we give set out points to contractors for grading work. The only way to do this currently, is to choose Elevation...

ModelBuilder Units

When stepping through model builder there is an option to set the units that are to be used in the design file; however, when the property is set in the field mappings, it does not automatically default to what was selected on a previous screen. T...

Import Utilities using LandXML

There needs to be an option to import utilities from LandXML with the option to specify the import units. I have sewer information from a utility in LandXML format, but the units need to be set to US Survey Feet. Using the import from LandXML clas...

Add extra Coloum which shows Delta Value in Geometry Report at PC, PT, No Curve PI, SC and CS

Alerts users to the existence of "kinks" in horizontal alignments. These "kinks" are where the back and ahead tangents at PCs and PTs of curves are not on the same bearing. There is a small tolerance built in to eliminate rounding errors.

Profile: Edit (move, rotate and scale) annotations in profile model

Currently in OpenRail, one cannot edit profile annotations. In profile, one can only select an annotation group, but after all the annotations are placed, they are fixed and cannot be moved, scaled or rotated. In contrast, this is possible when on...

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...
