Annotate Cross Section Locations In Plan

We often want to show the location of cross section in plan which can be done using the named Boundary Lines but they need to be annotated so you know what each represents e.g. stations/chainages or section names such as letters etc. There is a wo...

Driveway Profile Sheet Creation Tool

For our DOT, we need to show profiles for driveways. Since they are not large, it is expected to have 4 or more to a single sheet. In the current workflow, creating the drawing models and moving the drawing models to sheets to make this work is ti...

Collision-Free cross section annotation

​​There appears to be a feature in OpenRail and previously was in InRoads where you could specify in the Annotation Group to have the annotation shift if there was an overlap with another annotation but can't find the same feature in OpenRoads Des...

Split Cross Sections if Elements in Model Extend Outside of Default Width.

Currently our DOT requires that if ROW lines (or any element in the corridor) are outside the width of the default XS width, the user needs to create an extension or split the XS's to be able to show all design elements and ROW labels. Currently t...

Superelevation Frame Annotation can annotate the 0% cross slope location

As part of the profile superelevation annotation, the annotation currently cannot annotate the location where the superelevation is 0%. This would be helpful to show in plans and for designers to easily see the station this point is at.

Import .xtr files without losing any data

We receive the rail alignment in the form of a .xtr file. In the file itself it is possible to see that there is station, cant, construction and destruction phase, and turnout information, yet when I import it in OpenRail Designer only the alignem...

Enhancement to Create Project Node to Element Tool

There is currently not a way to project a node from the Drainage and Utility Model to an element (horizontal alignment’s profile model). Profile runs can be created and then projected onto the profile model by conduit linkage. With this enhancemen...

Display transparent catchment boundary at the cursor when relocating an inlet.

Enable the user when relocating a catch basin to view the catchment boundary as the inlet location is adjusted. Thus, acting as a dynamic and transparent view of the catchment boundary for the inlet at the new location. This will simplify the work...

Make the Point Analyze Tool usable in Read-Only files

You can't use the Analyze Point tool on read-only files presumably because it is trying to add annotation but sometimes people just want to check measurements such as slope between geometry in a read-only files and this is a very useful tool to do...

Enhancement to Auto Update Field Codes on Point Features when Field Code on Linear Feature is Updated

If a user changes a linear feature code, the expectation would be to also see the feature codes on the points that make up that linear feature change accordingly (if the linear feature was dependent on these points features and the appropriate lin...
