Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

Enable a screen-pick option when entering XY coordinates within the Survey Details window

With Inroads Survey, whenever XYZ coordinates needed to be entered for a particular purpose, a screen-pick option was always available. (see attached image) This was extremely useful. However, with ORD, changing the XYZ coordinate of any points in...

Allow user to define width of superelevation section graphic.

Currently, the graphic representing the superelevation section is hard coded to use the radius of the smallest curve in the alignment. If the radius of the smallest curve is 50 meters or more, the section width is hard-coded to 50 meters. If t...

Customisable Track Design Parameters

There is currently no way to view what cant ratios and related cant values the software is applying to the alignment. Nor is there an option to change the maximum and minimum values applied. The software should have an option to amend the followin...

Add toggle for static labeling for contours using element templates.

Allow dynamic labeling to be turned off for contours so that contour deliverables can be generated for clients who do not use openroads. When working with a large area the dynamic labels are too large when using extract contours because you have t...

Annotate vertical curve info on any alignment, not just the active one

Currently, vertical curve annotation (L, K) is part of the Drawing Model annotation groups and can only annotate the active profile. It would work much better if this was part of the Linear Profile Annotation and could be applied to any vertical a...

Edit snap rules and constraints

Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...

Horizontal Slew On longsection

This tool currently only works on regression geometry. Sometimes I find myself needing to mix regression and standard geometry. once o make these complex the slews do not show on the long section and i find myself manually typing them in from the ...

Enhance Design Standards to flag gaps in Geometry & apply to Feature Definitions

Additional functionality is needed for Design Standards to be fully functional for project delivery. Some additional thins include: Allow Design Standards to be optionally assigned to Alignment Feature Definitions so Alignments are created with th...
