GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...

Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

ORD Drainage - Separate CUlverts and Storm Sewer Pipes into Completely Separate Design Windows

Having to click 'Is Culvert' is just one more placve an error can take place in design. Creating spearate design windows for each of these elements will minimize this potential, and will make it easier for reviews as well.

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...

Trim with Connection Points/Regions on opposite sides of cell

I would like to have the ability to put connection regions and connection points on opposite ends of cells, specifically aprons. Currently, the apron won't trim with this setup.
