Apply superelevation to Linear Templates

I have built a civil cell using linear templates. The civil cell will need to have superelevation applied to it. Currently I cannot apply superelevation to the linear templates, and I cannot use a corridor within my civil cell without other issues...

Item Types and Civil Cells

Every time I try to place a civil cell where the referenced, optional, or dependent elements have Item Types attached to them, ORD crashes. I'm not sure if this is a defect or if civil cells just aren't built to handle embedded item type data. Eit...

Having an Undo & Redo button for the Table Editor

Sometimes mistakes happen. Rather than closing out of the window and waiting for ORD to undo the mistake, the "Undo/Redo" button would make the design process all little smoother. The button won't end mistakes but it sure beats having to close out...

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...

Ability to define non-uniform cross section named boundaries

The ability to define the location and width of cross section named boundaries that are not uniform along the length of the project. For example, regular sections might be 500 feet wide but some areas require wider sections for ramps, side roads, ...

Join Function in Table Editor Function similar to in Bentley Rail Track Horizontal Check Integrity Box

The join function is not available to join two or more straights with the same bearing that falls under one 'Complex Geometry'. This is especially problematic currently for us as there is currently no way to join two straights (see 'ORD Join Funct...

Annotate Height/Offset difference from Multiple Stratum in Cross Section

Currently, Drawing annotation for Cross Section is only available for Ground Z and (design) Z. If there are multiple stratum and terrain models, no direct option to annotate the height/offset difference from design to other stratum, or stratum (te...

Point Code and number included in the regression points

The point code and number should be included in the regression points so that it can be printed out and identified when you make a regression report. If you only see the stationing and offset from the geometry you cannot separate normal track poin...

Add ability to dual code survey points as one single point similar to InRoads Survey (add option to avoid overlapping annotation on dual coded points)

The biggest drawback to creating multiple points in ORD vs one single dual coded point in InRoads survey is overlapping text in annotation/labeling.
