Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...

Export Civil Report to csv

We're using ORD version 2023, and the Civil Reports browser allows us the option to export to xml, html, doc, and xlsx file formats. We used to have a function that allowed us to save as a txt file, which we could change the extension to csv so it...

Ability to Hide & Isolate all elements belonging to specific Corridors/Linear Templates

In Openbridge you can untick a Bridge in Explorer and it will hide that bridge in both 2d and 3d models. In OpenRoads, this functionality is very much needed for Corridors and Linear templates (similar to what we have for Feature Definitions). We ...

Profile Superelevation annotation based on Crossfall to a Linear feature

For almost all our projects we require very precise crossfall transitioning at tie-ins to existing and situations at ramps where we project crossfall from one carriageway to another. It is not practical for us to report crossfall and copy the valu...

Display Civil Accudraw Controls on Geometry created using Offset Tools

When geometry is created using the Horizontal Offset Tools, if the geometry is controlled using Civil Accudraw snaps this is not reflected in the Properties Tab for start and end points. This makes adjusting the Civil Accudraw snaps difficult, suc...

Provide a property for Corridors that shows the associated ITL

Corridors may use a variety of template drops that come from a non-default ITL (i.e. the one defined by the configuration variable CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY). A property of the corridor could be shown that identifies any of the ITLs associate...

Copy Lines Drawn in Profile Window to Other Profile Window

In order to correctly design Crossovers, profile information needs to be sketched out between profile windows. This is very difficult without the ability to draw lines in a profile window and then copy them to a profile window for another alignment.

Import Geometry from Imodel

Add the ability to import/export geometry elements from an imodel into your file. Similar to land xml or gpk. Then you retain the ability to archive files without worrying about their civil schema.
