Reverse complex geometry into elements

currently creating complex geometry is irreversible and extremely difficult to edit. neither on-screen nor table edit work well to modify complex geometry, especially removal of PI with curve sets. Also, delete element from complex is not unattain...

Allow Item Type value to drive dimension of Civil Geometry elements

There are several instances where we draw civil elements with rules and need to change the dimension value (length, offset from element, etc.). Currently the only way to do this is to click on the element and use the handles, or dig through the pr...

Notification/warning if alignment doesn't have active profile.

If an aligmment has a vertical profile, can we please ensure that it's active. The profile creation process is labourious in this software, and to find out that your profiles are empty at the end of this process as there weren't active isn't great...

Inserting the actual profile of reference adjacent profile

This is a missing feature on the Project Profile to Element as it is only accurate when two elements are actually parallel. We need some feature that will instantly copy/insert the profile of the adjacent element which is usually a reference dgn. ...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

GenerativeComponents - Alignment Node

Special Node/Option for Full recognition/utilisation of Alignment in GenerativeComponents. Since GC made it's entry into Civil products, it is vital that it gets tools (Node/-s) vital for closer cooperation with Civil Packages who make us of Align...

Static grid in profile view

I would like to have possibility to turn on static grid in geometry profile view. Something like the ability to set the main grid and minor grid intervals in the geometry profile view in the same way like it is done in drawings and sheets and make...

Regression: add a "Remove regression points" command both for H and V regression line

We can add points to regression line but we can't remove points from regression line.We can ignore but it is not good management especially if you added a wrong point to the regression line that must be added to another regression line. Because th...

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.

Auto-increment Geometry point names/numbers

Some users need to be able to assign unique point numbers. So, when creating a new geometry point, the user should be able to type in a starting point name/number (with or without a prefix) and once they place that point, it should automatically a...
