Generate Report of Construction Pipe Lengths, Start-Stop Station, and Offsets based on Keymap

Would like to utilized Asset Manager or a similar tool to quickly obtain quantities for drainage structures, namely pipes, based on a keymap. The idea is to feed the tool a keymap file, a file containing shapes representing each sheet, the tool us...

Allow Esri Shapefile Field Name to be longer than 10 characters

When exporting a drainage flex table in ESRI format, the default field names include names longer than 10 characters. This throws the error message: "The Esri Shapefile field name <Middle_Flow> for column <Flow (Middle)> cannot be long...

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...

It would be beneficial to allow drainage designers to use graphical elements in combination with terrains to define time of concentration components

Currently, in order to determine one of the components of the Time of Concentration (Tc), ORD DU users have to jump completely out of the 'Catchment Properties' interface to determine the length and slope of the Tc element (since once you are in t...

Ability to Update/Load additional Pipe networks from Civil 3d

Currently When importing pulling in pipe networks (both utility and drainage) two things happen 1.) They lose a lot of data. 2.) you can only do it once. Then you have to erase EVERYTHING and do it again. The workflow generally goes like this: So ...

Add Feature Symbology/Element Template to Catalog Items

When placing conduits or Inlets from a catalog, there is no way to display a different Feature Symbology or Element Template depending upon the item used within the catalog. For Conduits, on our 2D plans, we show a different linestyle for each siz...

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...
