Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...

Reflect template for template drop

It would be very helpful if we could reflect a template while assigning it to a template drop. Templates currently can only be placed in the direction they were created, from template origin "out". This requires a duplication of templates, as sepa...

"Export to IFC" exports the active model, not the default one.

The "Export to IFC" tool only exports the default model, not the active one. This is a big problem with OR since in most cases, the default model is the 2D. So we have to have the 3D reference turned on for it to export our objects. We end up with...

Create Profile Named Boundary of non-active Verticals

We need a way to manually select the vertical alignment (profile element) when creating Profile named boundaries (instead of assuming we want to use the active vertical). In cases where we have divided roadways that follow a shared centerline but ...

Surface Template - "Process Corridor" similar tool

Just add the function to process the template again so it can be updated. This is a major issue when using surface templates with clipping boundaries. If I change the clipping boundary (a simple shape on the 2D model), I have to delete and reapply...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Unable to report on Geometric Points direction relative to an Alignment.

In OpenRail Designer, unable to output the direction information when comparing geometry points to a baseline alignment. In Bentley Rail Track we were able to create clearance reports that included the direction. It appears OpenRailDesigner's repo...
