Horizontal and vertical geometry - edit vertical elevations/profile in plan view, improve geometry snap rules/constraints.

We have used the horizontal and vertical geometry tools to create terrain models for site design of rest areas. We have found this to be very inefficient and time consuming. For example, the rest areas typically have sidewalks that vary in width, ...

In OpenRoads Designer Explorer, add a feature list for terrain features, similar to the new "point filter" dialog.

Currently features that make up a terrain can be viewed, added, or removed graphically. Would like to be able to see all terrain features in a table or list view, similar to point filter list. In addition, be able to add and remove or temporarily ...

Text Along Element for all text element types

The text-along element already exist as a microstation tool, It would be nice if that tool would be able to be used in all civil label options.

Have the “Open Profile command” work on a selected linear geometry.

Now, if you select a linear entity and then take the open profile model tool,selection is not taken into account: You are aksed to select an entity. That contradicts main function of selection : Selection is typically used to indicate you want to ...

Placing Multiple Note Labels at Once

I am manually annotating cross sections (~90 total) due to the drawing model annotation tool not working properly. Therefore this idea came about after frequently using the "Note>Place Label" tool and these two feature names: XS Offset & XS...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

Enable a screen-pick option when entering XY coordinates within the Survey Details window

With Inroads Survey, whenever XYZ coordinates needed to be entered for a particular purpose, a screen-pick option was always available. (see attached image) This was extremely useful. However, with ORD, changing the XYZ coordinate of any points in...

Civil Labeler - Elevations along Geometry with a given station range

It would be nice to be able to limit the elevation callouts (and other callout types) within a station range if possible. I.E > when labeling EOP/curb through an intersection, using the Elevation - Along geometry labels the entire element and t...

Annotate vertical curve info on any alignment, not just the active one

Currently, vertical curve annotation (L, K) is part of the Drawing Model annotation groups and can only annotate the active profile. It would work much better if this was part of the Linear Profile Annotation and could be applied to any vertical a...
