Don't duplicate densification of template drops

When defining model requirements, we want to define the template drop interval and a stroking distance to densify template drops through vertical and horizontal curves. This will insure that models are designed to meet construction standards and s...

Parametric Constraints Labels Stations Overlaps

Is there a way we can see if there is an overlap in the stations in parametric constraints labels? Like in InRoads, it highlights in orange color if there is an overlap in stations with same labels. This will help and save lot of design time, if t...

GenerativeComponents - Feature Definition tool Node

Special Node/Option for Full recognition (reading civil information) and creation of Feature Definitions in GenerativeComponents. GC & Civil Packages would benefit greatly if we could automate the creation of Civil Lines (2D/3D) for subsequen...

Create 3D cut volumes with a variable cut offset

So far Openrail designer contains a tool called create 3D cut for profiles. It is very useful when one wants to show cuts from a 3D section across the track. However one can choose only a specific distance from track. There are cases (for example ...

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

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...

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 Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates

Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...
