Ability to Hard-Code Precision and format for Station, Angle, Direction, etc. in XML reports

Using XML coding, we can control the precision of items for linear measurements and area measurements, bypassing the precision set by the user. This allows us to provide a more consistent report output. Currently it is not possible to do similar o...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...

Existing terrain element concept and modifiers

Vectorworks Landscape, Revit 2024 or Virtual Surveyor (a drone photogrammetry software) treat existing terrain in a extremely effective way, but all of them lack the volumes and tools from OpenRoads. What they do is genarating a solid from the exi...
