Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.

It would be extremely helpful, if we were able to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies so that automation of the creation of new 'Custom Drainage Features' every time a drainage structure had a different bottom box (...

Plan-Profile-Profile drawing/sheet creation with named boundaries

Plan-Profile[LT]-Profile[RT] (and Profile[LT]-Profile[RT]) sheet creation for LT/RT split/bifurcated profile grade lines has been requested more frequently by our internal designers and our consultant designers. We have a workflow that can accompl...

Regression Points table Sorting

In the regression points table, there is no way to sort the regression points using stationing. It means that if points are not named so that you can order by the name, it becomes difficult to navigate and understand the table. Regression points b...

Setting Offsets in Profile Band

The labels for the ST, TS, CS, and SC points are in the lower part of the profile and are in offset with reference to the horizontal geometry band (as seen in the photo below wherein the radial offset is referenced from the geometry band). I think...

Corridor Objects Dialog box to stay put after creating parametric constrains/point controls and etc.

The corridor objects dialog box is currently disappearing whenever you try to add parametric constraints/point controls/curve widening/end condition exception/external reference and etc. This would be much better if we could have at least make the...

Allow flow arrow density adjustment similar to contour lines

All the current products anchor their surface data in triangles, and allow different types of visualizations to happen. For instance, you can choose to show major and minor contours as needed, and they do not change the way the triangles actually ...

import parcels, survey chains, lines, curves, spirals from GPK

Since GEOPAK is no longer supported. I have heard from Bentley time and time again that we can get to our data out of the GPK and import it into ORD. BUT this is only true for chains, profiles and points. What about Parcels? survey chains? lines? ...

Civil Labeler - Plain Text Placement

Currently, civil label fields are dependent on the associated element that provides the field information for the label. There are a number of label types that do benefit from being able to pull from multiple civil features, however their resultan...
