GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD

In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Gutter velocity and normal depth in GVF-ORD D&U

It would be very helpful if ORD drainage model calculates the velocity and normal depth in the gutter- especially when we use gutter as a user defined gutter/channel in the medians to analyze median channel.

Catchment Sub Areas need to be more accessible

A catchment's subareas is ONLY accessible by opening the subareas collection. This limits the ability to streamline various workflows. At minimum sub areas need to be accessible from the following: Flex Tables - The current flex tables will only...

Make the Drainage Catch Basin Grate Perimeter and Open Area variables reportable

Some DOTs require input of an exact values for catch basin grate open area for orifice flow and catch basin grate perimeter for weir flow. ORD would consider these as calculated values, not inputs. These are not ORD outputs and are hidden from the...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Enhancing Drainage Annotation Flexibility: Options for Maintaining Relative or Fixed Locations in Plan and Profile Views

Currently, drainage annotation will snap back to the placement location based on the placement settings within annotation groups. When I move the annotation I'd want to have the option of maintaining the location in relation to the object or maint...

Configuration variable to control default path for .tiw files

When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.

Ability to plot CPT data in OpenRoads from OpenGround

Our partner Dataforensics has a project with an OpenGround user, HDR where they need to plot borehole data and CPT data in OpenRoads. Seems like they were able to do this in Civil3D but are now using ORD and want to do the same as the attached
