Define Station (similar to Internal Station) from defined alignment

It is often that alignment starting from a turnout is using mainline stationing at toe of the turnout. So it would be useful to have a method to define station at first or last point of Alignment-A from Alignment-B, and ruled.Maybe not limited to ...

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...

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

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...

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.

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...

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...

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Point Table using MicroStation Table Styles

This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...
