ORD SUDA - drainage profile view

Currently when profiling a Utility (nodes and conduits), the lines on the nodes and conduits are "closed". Old Inroads Storm/Sanitary had open connections. Agency we submit the plans want us to show that connection as open. Only option at the mome...

Stacked Cross Section easier workflow

Create a better workflow for stacked cross sections. No need for complex seeds and dgnlibs. Just choose if we want to stack everything in a drawing model or in a sheet, how many rows and columns and hit enter.Maybe define the offsets and get a pre...

Collision-Free cross section annotation

​​There appears to be a feature in OpenRail and previously was in InRoads where you could specify in the Annotation Group to have the annotation shift if there was an overlap with another annotation but can't find the same feature in OpenRoads Des...

Annotate Cross Section Locations In Plan

We often want to show the location of cross section in plan which can be done using the named Boundary Lines but they need to be annotated so you know what each represents e.g. stations/chainages or section names such as letters etc. There is a wo...

Split Cross Sections if Elements in Model Extend Outside of Default Width.

Currently our DOT requires that if ROW lines (or any element in the corridor) are outside the width of the default XS width, the user needs to create an extension or split the XS's to be able to show all design elements and ROW labels. Currently t...

Enhancement to Create Project Node to Element Tool

There is currently not a way to project a node from the Drainage and Utility Model to an element (horizontal alignment’s profile model). Profile runs can be created and then projected onto the profile model by conduit linkage. With this enhancemen...

Import .xtr files without losing any data

We receive the rail alignment in the form of a .xtr file. In the file itself it is possible to see that there is station, cant, construction and destruction phase, and turnout information, yet when I import it in OpenRail Designer only the alignem...

Display transparent catchment boundary at the cursor when relocating an inlet.

Enable the user when relocating a catch basin to view the catchment boundary as the inlet location is adjusted. Thus, acting as a dynamic and transparent view of the catchment boundary for the inlet at the new location. This will simplify the work...

Make the Point Analyze Tool usable in Read-Only files

You can't use the Analyze Point tool on read-only files presumably because it is trying to add annotation but sometimes people just want to check measurements such as slope between geometry in a read-only files and this is a very useful tool to do...

Superelevation Frame Annotation can annotate the 0% cross slope location

As part of the profile superelevation annotation, the annotation currently cannot annotate the location where the superelevation is 0%. This would be helpful to show in plans and for designers to easily see the station this point is at.
