Need ability to define variable wall thickness on conduits

For box shaped conduits, we need to be able to define top, bottom and side wall thicknesses independently. This allows modeling of box shapes which correspond to physical construction.

ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

Make Grips Visible and Useable on 4k displays

When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...

limit the number of Rows in the Elevation-Area Table.

I get close to 40-50 rows of data when I assign a "pond" to a terrian. I only need data every 0.1ft but it is providing much more.

Visualization of Flood Fill based on min and max height values

A function of flood fill a portion of the terrain based on a min height and max height value. It allows a drainage engineer to visually check if a certain flood top water level will flow beyond the project boundary. Is there a way to do this in Op...

External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.

Add By Linear Element option to Analyze Catchment (by Terrain Model) tool

Be able to select a linear element (eg. edge of road pavement) that the Analyze Catchment tool computes catchment areas from a terrain model for. The tool currently only has a Use Fence option which can still take a long time. If one can narrow it...

Create multiple long sections/profiles in the same model space

When creating profiles/long sections for track vertical geometry, ORD creates an individual sheet view and model view for each sheet. This creates a large amount of work when trying to bulk annotate or export long sections for drafting. It would b...
