Ability to make Geometry Profile models indexed DGN models for ease of use & design workflows

Similar to all the other models, we regularly want to go in and out of Alignment Profile models and the current methods of having to navigate to the geometry to access it is very disruptive and inefficient. Also, having these as hidden models limi...

Ability to add marks for the lowest points along ditches in plan

Ability to add marks for the lowest points along ditches in plan. Currently we can only annotate flow arrows. It can also work as vertical change in plan for ditch profiles.

Ability for Superelevation Lanes to use Crossfall between Linear Features to define superelevation

In many circumstances superelevation cannot be easily defined by superelevation points, i.e. tie-ins to existing crossfall, extension of adjacent carriageway crossfalls, eg. ramps, intersections, etc. In these circumstances users need to use linea...

Calculation of track length

A function that calculates the length of the tracks with turnouts withdrawn would be very helpful to calculate the amount of rails. The lengths of rails between turnout points 1 - 2 and 1-3 should be automatically redrawn from the lengths and repo...

Add Relationship Tree View to simplify understanding why circular references happen

Given that ORD is capable of recognising when it is creating a circular relationship reference, it would be very useful to have something like a geometry relationships "tree" we can view to understand the links between elements which would immense...

Want the Edit Complex Terrain Model to show missing terrains

suppose a Complex terrain is created by combining multiple terrains. At some point thereafter if one of the individual terrains is deleted, if the "Edit Complex Model" tool is used the deleted terrain is simply gone. There's no indication that it ...

Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

Specific model option for annotation

Would be nice to have an option to run an 'drawing model annotation' for specific models rather than just all or one. This could be helpful for cross section annotation if we want to use different annotation groups for different ranges of the cros...

Survey Field Book Enhancement

Users would like the ability to create multiple field books without the terrain connecting to each. This would be necessary when surveying multiple sites for one given road project. Currently, this is done by importing the data and then going to t...
