I have used a 3d measure macro in Microstation for 20 years now. I love it. It would be nice to have this feature in ORD . Would be simple to add. The way the tool would work: Users snap between any two points. I dialog would pop up displaying the...
We currently only have the ability to produce Cut & Fill volume quantities using available text favorites for our cross sections. That's where it ends when it comes to extracting quantities from the model to display in the drawing/sheet models...
In modeling the road or site with geometry corner in 90 degrees or sharp, the small arc of corner is required in order to model the round corner. So that no overlap between 3d linear geometry. Software should provide the option to allow the corner...
Feature Defintions (Window) - a proposal for improving this function
Feature Definition Toolbar
A proposal for improving/expanding this feature
Choosing Feature Definitions is a frequently used feature in OpenRoads Designer. Especially in urban projects, switching between pavement types, curbs, placing signs, ...
Provide ability to place a 3D sign panel in a design model with the size and design from the sgn file. Transoft's Guidesign program has this ability as an example.
Add regression report tool for reporting against a control alignment
In Bentley Rail Track you could run a "Regression" report via Tools - XML Re
ports - Regression...
This was an invaluable way of reporting existing cants, sixfoots, etc. with the figures generated in line with a
'Control Track'.

Civil Labeler - XS Label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point
We need ability to label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point in our type XS. Or ability to label curb or other key-point height relative to centerline.
End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.
I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

Inroads allowed the user to toggle a tick mark, such as a plus symbol (+), to show the position of any survey point in the fieldbook. Very useful. ORD allows the toggling of many different attributes of a point by using Survey Decorators. Please a...
Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.
An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...
