Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..

Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Horizontal Offset Option for Geometric Points

We are seeking the ability to specify a horizontal offset from a reference when placing and modifying geometric points. Currently, options for vertical offset (delta elevation from reference) and rotation offset (from reference) are available for ...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.

Re-introduce "Connect element" from Power RailTrack

In Power RailTrack and before that in Inrail there was a tool called something like "connect element" or something quite similar. What it did was to connect an element belonging to the alignment but was not in its correct location to the alignment...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

port all Regression tools from OpenRail to OpenRoads

There are some regression tools that were ported from openRail into openRoads in previous releases. However, they didn't port every regression tool. Most notably, they did not port the Vertical regression tools for creating a regressed profile. We...

Project point elements to nearest XCs

A tool that projects point elements (drainage nodes, boreholes, signs, ...) to the nearest XCs. This could work using named groups just like the new shipped funcion: https://bentleyopencivil.ideas.aha.io/ideas/BCI-I-1208?utm_source=idea_comment_ma...

Option to show Stopping Sight Distance instead of K-Value for vertical parabolas

Current default setting shows Vertical Curve Parameter or K-Value below the parabola length in the dynamic display of a vertical alignment. The geometry report has to be run or the annotation must be displayed to see the available SSD. It would be...
