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 ...

Need to annotate partial alignment lengths along turnout from point of switch to start/end

Users need a way to annotate the same way SS2 would annotate with the Switch Height Plan command. Partial lengths along the alignment need to be annotated, but there is not a way to do this in OpenRail. The workaround is to create a dummy alignmen...

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...

Visualization of Flood Fill based on min and max height values

A function of flood fill a portion of the terrain based on a min height and max height value. It allows a drainage engineer to visually check if a certain flood top water level will flow beyond the project boundary. Is there a way to do this in Op...

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...

Add columns for conduit construction length and constuction slope to flex table

Is there a way to add constructed length and constructed slope to a conduit flex table? I can build annotation for these fields for plan production, but I haven't found these fields to add to a conduit flex table. This would allow for more options...

Add toggle for static labeling for contours using element templates.

Allow dynamic labeling to be turned off for contours so that contour deliverables can be generated for clients who do not use openroads. When working with a large area the dynamic labels are too large when using extract contours because you have 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...
