Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Create Geometry from Points Tool

A tool that would allow the user to input, either manually or via CSV (or other import method), an array of points that can be used to create horizontal geometry or drawing strings, and be able to edit said points. This would operate almost the sa...

Ability to change default setting of Remove Tangent Restriction

Every time we open the Geometry Builder tool or add a new geometry, the "Remove Tangent Restriction" lock in the top right changes to a hardcoded ON state (picture below). We'd like to be able to control its default state, especially within the sa...

Make the Geometry Copy Element tool clone / duplicate an element with all rules, etc.

Currently the Copy Element tool either fail to copy, copies elements incomplete (with missing Vertical Geometry) or does not reproduce rules as intended. The Geometry Copy Element command should effectively be a cloning tool that copies everything...

Ability to append, join, or combine individual alignments and have it hold the sub alignment stationing, which would create station equations

In Geopak, we had the ability to take individual alignments and create an overall alignment from a subset of alignments and it would hold the individual stationing for each alignment, creating station equations. There is no way to do this in ORD u...

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection b...
