3d measure between any to points.

I have used a 3d measure macro in Microstation for 20 years now. I love it. It would be nice to have this feature in ORD . Would be simple to add. The way the tool would work: Users snap between any two points. I dialog would pop up displaying the...

Corridor Modeling for 90 degrees corners

In modeling the road or site with geometry corner in 90 degrees or sharp, the small arc of corner is required in order to model the round corner. So that no overlap between 3d linear geometry. Software should provide the option to allow the corner...

Point Control lock to to start and lock to end option should honor the corridor start and end limits

Actually , the lock to start and lock to end stations are defined by the start and end of alignment or feature the corridor it is based on. This makes the point control handles (in the 2d view) to be outside the corridor limits when the corridor i...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

See Coordinates of Objects in Model Space

Say if I had pre-cast units (say rectangular for ease of the idea), you can see the coordinates of the 4 bottom corners (or other named points) of the pre-cast unit if I click on it. This would show up in model space view as shown: https://imgur.c...

Constraint Labels need to come from a list stored in the ITL

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Label Name, it would be powerful to have the possibility to choose an existing Label Name from a dropdown-list in the dialog box when building Point Constraints in a civil template. The dropdown-list must s...

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 ...
