Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...

Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates

Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...

Allow Surface Template for Corridor Top/Bottom Meshes

It would be extremely powerful if Surface Templates could select and use Corridor Top or Bottom Meshes as their base surface. If these were ruled users could create irregular shaped pavement elements with ease. This is something currently very lab...

Create rail tools - availability to set rail gauge value and inclination of the rails

I would like to have opportunity to set rail gauge, rail edge to rail edge distance and rails inclination during the use of Create rails tool.

Add "Do Not Connect Features" button to Corridor Objects Dialog

While modeling complex projects there has been many instances where I would like templates to not connect features between drops. My current workflow is to create a new corridor at these locations. One example is when a new roadway base course sec...

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.

Ability to Hide & Isolate all elements belonging to specific Corridors/Linear Templates

In Openbridge you can untick a Bridge in Explorer and it will hide that bridge in both 2d and 3d models. In OpenRoads, this functionality is very much needed for Corridors and Linear templates (similar to what we have for Feature Definitions). We ...

Create Cut Fill Volumes from one element

Extension of the "Create Cut Fill Volumes" function with the ability to choose whether calculations will be performed for a selected element (similar to the function "Create Closed Mesh") or for all elements included in the model (just like it's b...

Allow Assignment to Multiple Alternate Surfaces

There are often points in a template that should belong to multiple surfaces. For instance, we have a point in our rural templates that is part of the top mesh and should also belong to our aggregate shoulder alternate surface and our subgrade sur...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...
