Improve Geometry Builder interface

Often Surveyors are responsible for generating exi sting alignments from limited data (in plans or collected in field.) We have identified that using the Geometry Builder can be a "wo rkaround" but it is clunky and there are more steps involved th...

expanded temporary dimensioning in dynamic cross section

I would like to be able to use a temporary horizontal dimension on any graphic that shows in my dynamic cross sections. Currently, we are only able to dimension the corridor we selected for xsecs. In my case, I have many adjacent corridors and sit...

Dynamic XS view - Adjust station jump distance on corridor xs view

I would like the ability to adjust the station jump distance, based on my input rather than the corridor template drop distance. Only works when an allingment is chosen rather than the corridor, which in some cases makes other abilities lacking.

Civil Labeler - Add Dimension Line when annotation between points

When using Civil Labeler to annotate between 2 points, like plan linear>between geometry, it would be great to be able to place a dimension line controlled by usual dimension style and being able to place the annotation at the middle of the dim...

Analyze Pavement Smoothness Assurance/Ride Quality. ProVal equivalent analysis.

QAQC tool to analyze pavement smoothness/ride quality of models. This would help verify model density is appropriate for paving use, verify design intent. The goal is to simplify the process and have any easy method to analyze pavement from both i...

Requesting Dogleg Cross Sections

Cross sections must be perpendicular to the flow lines at all locations. And they cannot intersect with each other. That is why it is common to see cross sections snap at different angles outside the main channel (we call this doglegging). The tri...

New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration

Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...

Facilitate successive volume calculations

Currently the simple calculation between 2 3D models is summarized between 2 comboboxes with a visual choice in a list of 3D models. If we have 60 models it becomes very difficult to make choices because the palette disappears after each calculat...

Have both turnouts as ''free'' when calculating a crossover

When calculating a crossover geometry (2 turnouts+geometry in between) it could be beneficial if both turnouts (beginning and end) could be set as free. This would be beneficial in cases when two tracks are not totall parallel and the only option ...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...
