Annotate Multiple Terrain levels in Cross section frames annotation

In our legacy software packages we regularly annotated levels of multiple Terrain surfaces and the level differences between them in Cross sections and we look to have lost this functionality in ORD so far. This is especially useful to annotate th...

Tool to Convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element or a MicroStation Linestring

There should be a one button command to convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element, a MicroStation Linestring, or individual MicroStation lines (User picks what they want). There are ways to accomplish this process now but most in...

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

User option for linear stroking when creating terrains while processing field data in 3d files.

It would be very useful to big back the user option for stroking linear elements when creating terrains. This was available in v8i and greatly enhanced our surface models. Right now there is a configuration variable but it can't be set by users. A...

Text Favorite Use Dimension Style Setting

When a Text Favorite is set to "Active Settings" it looks at the file setting and is not reading active dimension style setting from the element template or the tool settings. According to MicroStation the Active Setting is set by the dimension st...

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.

Allow users to see horizontal and vertical alignments while in view only mode.

Wise users open files in read-only mode when they don’t intend to change the file. ORD should promote good file practice to allow us to view geometry when we are in view only mode.

Support spaces for bearing input in geometry tools

The geometry tools should allow for spaces between degrees minutes and seconds (N78 34 22E). This format is supported in the Geometry Builder but not the other geometry tools and the inconsistence is frustrating. Currently you have to enter either...
