Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...

Quantities of civil elements by named boundary

Long linear elements such as pavement marking and guardrail can be reported on by named boundaries if they are clipped according to the named boundary group. Summary of quantities on plans are often tabulated by sheet. The best methodology for thi...

Menu options should be same regardless of where User clicks and how much they zoom in

Please see attachment. Bentley needs to ensure same menu options should be available whether the user right-clicks at the top, bottom, or side, AND regardless of the zoom level used. Edit components should not go missing. -JMS

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Ability to Delete specific Annotation group instance instead of all instances

Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...

Allow Annotation group 'label' settings to work with D&U

A new annotation filter setting (Label) was introduced in OpenRoads 2025. This setting works well to place callouts for corridor components, however when drainage/utility features are selected, we run into issues as shown below. The callout does n...
