I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

I need some additional settings to label the side without a value so that I can annotate my plans as required. The text favorite settings for “OpenRoads Plan Annotation Fields-Point Offset” does have settings to use a suffix to label a “Right” or ...

I noticed that template ranges can overlap and there is no obvious indication that this is occurring. Ideally over lapping station ranges should highlight in red to draw attention to it.

Currently when defining the horizontal earth loading on an abutment, the only option is to have a triangular loading from top to bottom. The "Mag2" input box (for the load magnitude at the top of the load) is set at 0, greyed out, and cannot be ed...

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Ability to annotate the flow direction of a ditch using an annotation group within a cross section drawing model. Currently the annotation exists only for plan view (See communities post here ). In Geopak we had a workflow to accomplish this task,...

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

In the Cant Editor, there is a tool called validate data which allows you to add in your design parameters and then check against the cant the Openrail has already automatically generated. although a good tool, i just think it would be better Open...

I had a situation where I wanted to model Interstate NB and SB as separate and cut them off of the median cl. I was unable to get the tie slopes to tie to existing ground when cutting cross sections. Adding "key stations" at a skew would resolve t...
