Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX

Integration of OpenRoads Designer Civil Functions in Python

Add OpenRoads Designer Civil functions to Python integration allowing development of Python applications that can access/call the Civil Design processes within OpenRoads

Make it possible to apply various symbology on one alignment

Many times an alignment is partly existing and partly new or changed. In the drawings this should be shown with different symbology and annotation, something that is not easy in ORD. A tool that can do this would be very useful!

Button to synchronize all template drops for all corridors & linear templates in a file

I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...

Ability to annotate slope between linear features in plan using the Civil Labeler

Ability to annotate the slope between two linear features in plan. Currently we can only annotate station and offset but it is very common for designers to check cross slopes.

Vertically Aligned Collision Free Cross Section Frame Annotation when Using Horizontal Text

Using OpenRail 2024 Vertical Frame Text significantly increases the height of Cross Sections, THUS causing more sheets. Would like the capability to have Horizontal Text in a frame, one row for Offset, one for Elevation. While this can be done, wh...

Make Template Editor a non-modal window.

In legacy versions of the software, I can have the template library open on one screen, corridor modeler on another screen, and the CAD window open on a third screen. I can make/save changes in the template, make/save changes in the corridor model...
