Compound Curve with Spiral Segments Tool

A geometry tool is needed to easily create a Compound Horizontal Curve with Spiral segments. Having the ability to quickly compute a Spiral-Curve-Spiral-Curve-Spiral between two tangents would be greatly beneficial to the track design work we do. ...

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Allow users to see horizontal and vertical alignments while in view only mode.

Wise users open files in read-only mode when they don’t intend to change the file. ORD should promote good file practice to allow us to view geometry when we are in view only mode.

Option to show Stopping Sight Distance instead of K-Value for vertical parabolas

Current default setting shows Vertical Curve Parameter or K-Value below the parabola length in the dynamic display of a vertical alignment. The geometry report has to be run or the annotation must be displayed to see the available SSD. It would be...

Normal/parallel offset in vertical profile

In ORD it is possible to do a Profile Offset Transition. This methode makes a vertical offset. In case of a slope, the difference between the vertical offset and the normal/parallel offset is different. For large slopes, this is differences is too...

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

Add a Reference File Selection Capability in the Profile Model Create 3D Cut Tool

In the Create 3D Cut tool, it would be nice to be able to select which reference file(s) the user would like to use when creating 3D cuts in the profile model. This capability would keep ORD from 3D cutting all attached reference files.

Support spaces for bearing input in geometry tools

The geometry tools should allow for spaces between degrees minutes and seconds (N78 34 22E). This format is supported in the Geometry Builder but not the other geometry tools and the inconsistence is frustrating. Currently you have to enter either...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.
