Rail industry needs to measure clearance of many elements relative to the track: linear and point. Not all can be done using 3D clash. Some exact value are sometime required by the standards. Typically measurement of a platform edge from the CL bu...
We need that when writing down the singular points of a railway deviation (P0, P1, P2 and P3), they are joined by straight lines P1 with P2 and P0 with P3. See attached image. In fact, the V8i version did represent the detour scheme. Thank you!
Creation of the drawing Model is Optional in sheet production in MicroStation. I believe this should be true for civil Plan as well. We should be able to create a drawing seed that does not have the option ON for creating drawing. Most of the Plan...
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...
Allow for Densify Horizontal Value and the Densify Vertical Value fields unlocked in order to give more user control to corridor stroking
We need improved stroking control for corridors. Currently stroking for corridors is defined by configuration variables i.e. CIVIL_DEFAULT_CURVE_STROKING and CIVIL_DEFAULT_PROFILE_STROKING, for horizontal and vertical curves respectively, which ta...
ESRI ArcGIS import automatically handle unit conversions
We would like to see the ESRI ArcGIS import functionality enhanced to handle conversions on the fly without having to change the working units of the file. To provide context, we have a base DGN that has working and storage units for SVFT/SVIN. Th...
OBM should support multi-model, 2D and 3D workflows similar to OpenRoads
Users currently need to always start with a 3D file in OBM unlike in ORD. Allow users to support the multi-model (2D and 3D) behavior similar to OpenRoads Designer. All decorations should be in the 2D file and all 3D objects in the 3D file. When s...

Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes
Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...
Rapid Station-to-Station Advancement in Dynamic Cross Sections - ORD
InRoads SS2 roadway designer provided the function to click and hold the "next station" button to rapidly pan and fast forward through the corridor. OpenRoads Dynamic Cross Sections requires you to click and advance one station at a time which is ...
