Can openrail consider to improve the edit horizontal element tool

There are quite a lot of situations we need to edit element lengths (shorten or lengthen) by fixing their stop ends, which can be done easily in BRT; However, I couldn't find similar tools in Openrail to solve it. Can Openrail improve the table ed...

Show location in plan while in profile

Currently you can use "analyze point" to see where you are at in the plan view while in a profile. I want the location line in plan to show up all the time while I am in a profile so I know where I am at.

Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

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...

Profile from Top Mesh

We have the ability to create multiple profiles from multiple surfaces at the same time, but there are occasions where I only need to define a single profile line based on multiple surfaces. It would be handy if there was an option to create a pro...
