Geometry - Copy Chain Parallel Command

There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.

Geometry Points ruled by Name to allow users to move Points by importing ASCII

Ruling point import by name would add some powerful automation to the software. If a user could import a Point via ASCII and have any existing Points with the same name update (while maintaining the same object) this would allow things like posts ...

Be able to view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Geometry Points

I can view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Survey Points but for Geometry Points you have to annotate text graphics into your model. Seems to me that you should be able to view those the same weather it's a Geom...

Graphically edit the profile by variable slope

It would be good to have the option to drag the start and end stations of the profile by variable slope from element in the profile window. Similarly as the partial offset tool in plan. At the moment the user needs to update values in the properti...

Profiles and Sections with no sheets

I am going back to the SS2 versions. I would like to see an option to produce 1 profile for the entire alignment. Give it the station range and produce the profile in Microstation with an option to annotate The same for Cross-Sections. Station Ran...

Option to set station limits while creating Curvature Diagram.

I want option to set a station limits while creating Curvature Diagram so that we can focus on a very specific area instead of the whole geometry.

Allow entering a degree of curve (d 00^00'00") as the Radius of the Alignment Table Editor.

When creating curves, an ORD user is allowed to enter a degree of curve (d 00^00'00") as the Radius. Put the same functionality in the Alignment Table Editor.

Auxiliary Lane Analysis with Speed Profiling

I need to create a quick profile that can be graphically manipulated BEFORE I create a corridor or do any detailed design.

The Bentley training videos all create a corridor and cross sections before a profile is created that can be edited. I need a profile of the existing ground BEFORE I do any detailed vertical profile design. That way I can see if it works visually ...

Add reading/editing alignments with shifts with table editor

I have a horizontal and vertical alignment with a shift. If you load the vertical alignment into the table editor, it does not load all the VPI's. It skips one of the VPI's at the shift location. Also, if you export the vertical alignment using th...
