It would be beneficial to allow drainage designers to use graphical elements in combination with terrains to define time of concentration components

Currently, in order to determine one of the components of the Time of Concentration (Tc), ORD DU users have to jump completely out of the 'Catchment Properties' interface to determine the length and slope of the Tc element (since once you are in t...

Turn on/off elements in the main dgn will change on all the sheets.

It is expected to turn on and off elements in the container file and it will reflect those changes on all the profile sheet models.

Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.

Allow LFD substructure analysis with an LRFD Superstructure in LEAP Steel

When performing a superstructure replacement, it is common to design the proposed superstructure in LRFD but then analyze the existing substructure capacity in LFD. Currently with LEAP Steel, because the superstructure was designed in LRFD the sub...

Create 3D by slope to terrain needs to have the option for the fill slope to be positive and vise versa for cut slope

When projecting a line to a terrain currently the only option for fill is down and cut is up. This needs to be a user selectable option. There are many cases where the proposed surface is above the existing ground yet the fill projection needs to ...

Exporting reports to excel now prompted to save the file first, rather than it exporting directly into a new excel window.

Reporting tools are critical to our workflows to validate and document designs. Please consider reverting to exporting directly to Excel without having to save first - as this added step appears to be causing the issue, and only adds time to the w...

Store vertical/horizontal alignment of low points

A tool existed in Geopak that could pick out the low point of a cross section to the left and right of centerline and construct horizontal and vertical alignments from that. This essentially automated the creation of a ditch profile along an entir...

Ability for Corridor Horizontal Parametric Constraints to be applied with Reverse Cubic Curves

In our legacy software we could quickly and easily apply a reverse cubic curve tapers for our designs without having to create Geometry and have our lane edges follow that - noting that the Geometry is not actually the required reverse cubic curva...

Geometry Points ruled by Name to allow users to move Points by importing ASCII

Ruling point import by name would add some powerful automation to the software. If a user could import a Point via ASCII and have any existing Points with the same name update (while maintaining the same object) this would allow things like posts ...
