Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Add or Update Dimension Styles Capabilities in SignCAD

Add/Update the dimensioning tools in SignCAD to align with ORD's DimensionStyles toolbox. This will reduce post-processing (as in re-doing the dimensions and info blurb to match arrow styles) after placing the sign.sgn in ORD.

We need the ability to label the start and stop stations of a profile drawing model after the model is created.

Currently, the start and stop station text favorite values only exist at creation and are persisted to the drawing model. Therefore, they are not available after the drawing models are created.

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

Update the Check Integrity Reports to include both the Start and END stations of the elements.

The current report has the Start station, but it would be nice to have the Ending station of the individual elements included as well.
