Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

Enable a screen-pick option when entering XY coordinates within the Survey Details window

With Inroads Survey, whenever XYZ coordinates needed to be entered for a particular purpose, a screen-pick option was always available. (see attached image) This was extremely useful. However, with ORD, changing the XYZ coordinate of any points in...

Add option for suffix (pos and neg) to Slope Format

In format options for slope annotation we can define prefix for positive and negative values. please add the option to add a suffix. This would allow to annotate for example XS Slopes like so: <2.0% this way or 2.0%> the other way

Display Civil Accudraw Controls on Geometry created using Offset Tools

When geometry is created using the Horizontal Offset Tools, if the geometry is controlled using Civil Accudraw snaps this is not reflected in the Properties Tab for start and end points. This makes adjusting the Civil Accudraw snaps difficult, suc...

Annotate vertical curve info on any alignment, not just the active one

Currently, vertical curve annotation (L, K) is part of the Drawing Model annotation groups and can only annotate the active profile. It would work much better if this was part of the Linear Profile Annotation and could be applied to any vertical a...

Clipping reference

It will be helpful to see where the clipping is coming from. Example if reference file then would be helpful to know what reference file

Horizontal and vertical geometry - edit vertical elevations/profile in plan view, improve geometry snap rules/constraints.

We have used the horizontal and vertical geometry tools to create terrain models for site design of rest areas. We have found this to be very inefficient and time consuming. For example, the rest areas typically have sidewalks that vary in width, ...
