Annotating plan elements on profile

We have a client need to streamline the process to annotate the horizontal geometry on the profile. The need is to call out the curve compensation that is calculated at horizontal curves and displayed with a dimension line. As well adding in the h...

Overlap detection in Corridor Objects

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.

Individually Define Maximum Spread

in Drainage and Utilities, remove the Maximum Spread (global for the dgn file) and make it editable for each individual node. Roadways have lots of different gutters etc so I don't want a max spread for the whole file, I want individually.

Expand Text Favorite Fields to the limit

Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

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...

Formulas for Rail Information included in Help Documentation

The formulas utilized in OpenRail are not properly documented within the Help Information. Several Examples include CANT. The Equilibrium Constant gives no useful information in the help documentation for understanding WHAT THIS VALUE IS. As a des...
