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...

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...

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.

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Create a tool to clip alignments.

Create a tool to clip an alignment at any location along the alignment that does not affect or change the stationing or the station equations even if you are clipping the beginning of the alignment.

Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...

Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Have the “Open Profile command” work on a selected linear geometry.

Now, if you select a linear entity and then take the open profile model tool,selection is not taken into account: You are aksed to select an entity. That contradicts main function of selection : Selection is typically used to indicate you want to ...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...
