dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.

Create 3D points from rails when creating regression line from rails

Currently, when one uses the create regression line from rails tool, the points that the program creates are 2D, in other words they contain only X and Y, not Z. It would be nice to create points along with the regression line that contains also i...

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

Quick Horizontal Regression by Slew

The ability to have a tool or a checkbox that lets you run a quick horizontal regression for the alignment that is entirely controlled by the slew value input and not a 'tolerance' value. This would make the quick horizontal regression tool much m...

Make Grips Visible and Useable on 4k displays

When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...

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...

Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.
