Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section

For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.

Create 3D by slope to target tool alse creates 2D geometry

This tool should work similar to a linear template. It should respect the "Create Template Geometry" option from the feature definition and generate the 2D geometry, not just the 3D one.

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...

Import profile from element

We should be able to import profiles from elements. Because the profile drawing gives us usually like dwg file format, or like cad file format. if we draw an empty profile same dwg's profile scale on the screen, we can import dwg profiles very eas...

Allow pasting Excel tables in Design Standard Tables

One of the features that I think would improve the software is the ability to paste Design Standards Tables from Excel into the software. This would save a lot of time and effort for users who need to adjust these values frequently, especially whe...

add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

Create multiple long sections/profiles in the same model space

When creating profiles/long sections for track vertical geometry, ORD creates an individual sheet view and model view for each sheet. This creates a large amount of work when trying to bulk annotate or export long sections for drafting. It would b...

Additional Shoulder Rollover Slope Rows (3D Modeling - Templates)

I would like to make a suggestion on an improvement to template design for 3D Modeling in ORD. The Rollover values tool in superelevation template design is incredibly helpful, as it saves time by calculating the proper shoulder super rates accord...

Add extra Coloum which shows Delta Value in Geometry Report at PC, PT, No Curve PI, SC and CS

Alerts users to the existence of "kinks" in horizontal alignments. These "kinks" are where the back and ahead tangents at PCs and PTs of curves are not on the same bearing. There is a small tolerance built in to eliminate rounding errors.

Profile: Edit (move, rotate and scale) annotations in profile model

Currently in OpenRail, one cannot edit profile annotations. In profile, one can only select an annotation group, but after all the annotations are placed, they are fixed and cannot be moved, scaled or rotated. In contrast, this is possible when on...
