Reference Terrain model on Civil Cell

I would like to create civil cells that utilize our existing ground terrain model from the survey. Right now, when creating the civil cell, I can't select the existing ground terrain model as a reference. This is problematic as some of the element...

Ability to Synchronize ITL to a Master ITL

Either add ability for multiple users to be in the same ITL and save the information. At the moment we run a separate ITL for segments of a project which leads to slight differences to similar items. It is cumbersome to use the template library or...

Description Fields for Corridor Inputs

For the modeling and model review process, it would be helpful to have Description fields for common corridor inputs, such as Parametric Constraints, Point Controls, etc. that can be easily discovered using the Corridor Objects tool.

Transition Length for Parametric Constraints

When using parametric constraints to transition between default template values and the desired value, a separate parametric constraint is often required to control the transition length. (ex. Default to New, New to New, New to Default) An optiona...

Update GUI for Editing Template Transitions

I find the interface for editing template transitions archaic and difficult to understand for new users. Is this something already in the works for development?

When looking at point controls/parametric constraints in Corridor Objects, highlight affected point(s) in dynamic XS view.

The legacy corridor modeler would put a white crosshair in the XS view on the specific point being manipulated when the corresponding point control was selected. I'd like this same functionality in the dynamic XS view.

Add Relationship Tree View to simplify understanding why circular references happen

Given that ORD is capable of recognising when it is creating a circular relationship reference, it would be very useful to have something like a geometry relationships "tree" we can view to understand the links between elements which would immense...

Update the tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" to add better functionality when applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework

The tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" can currently be applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework, but it doesn't work very well at all, assuming due to it's reliance on stroking. It is often much more efficient/simple to create certain design ...

Template Library Folder Configuration Variable

Civil configuration variables exist for opening a default/workset template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY) and for the default path when performing a save as on a template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY_SAVEAS) but when opening a...

Surface Template - Vertical offset

When working on sites and parking lot, sometimes we create a grading terrain to construct the slopes and low points than apply to it the pavement surface template. To model the sidewalks (think of a parking lot island) we create a clipped terrain ...
