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...

Quick Profile Transition application on fillet being part of complex element

When using Quick Profile Transition (QPT), we need ability to select (apply to) a fillet that is part of a complex element - similar to Alt option (to Pick Components of Complex) for Arc Between Elements > Simple Arc, when applying fillet at PI...

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.

Ability to lock profile when start stationing changes

Right now (2022 R1) if an alignment with a profile is extended in the start, the profile moves together with the start of the alignment. Two wishes: Possibility to lock the profile elements in their present position. Possibility to move the whole ...

Turnout Creation Wizard

Developing turnouts in the new software can be quite cumbersome. If there was a wizard that allowed users to input known common pieces of geometry in a more descriptive and graphical fashion, it would help significantly. When geometry elements are...

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...

Line and Curve Tables for both Alignments and Parcels

Need tools for creating Line and Curve tables with smarts. Geopak D&C had a tool for creating line and curve tables. Why doesn't OpenRoads have tools for this? Needs to be smart so that as changes are made to the geometry the data in the table...

Add an option to include "Profile" when offsetting Geometry

There should be an option to include the Profile when offsetting geometry if desired. Currently we need to offset the geometry and then copy the profile. It would be much more intuitive if there was an option to just include the profile when initi...

Ability to Separate Tangents / Gradients from Adjacent Tangents / Gradients after Alignment Simplification

When making alignment modifications by manipulating tangents (Horizontal Alignments) or gradients (Vertical Alignment) we prefer to limit extents of changes to only one tangent / gradient at a time. This is possible, when alignments are built with...
