ADD A NEW IDEA

Add comprehensive training (on demand with dataset preferred) for generative components in OpenRail

Generative components is a great tool, but there no training available for it. The tool is not known and not being widely used because many if not most users do not know it exists and what to do with it. Transitioning to BIM/ iModel tools and elev...

Terrain substitute tool

"Terrain Substitute” command that would swap all links from one Terrain to another, and also swap Parent Terrains for Surface Templates ( without breaking rules/relationships).

Circular Eccentric Nodes should have the ability to have a rotation point at the center of the structure.

Circular eccentric nodes, like manholes, should have the ability to have a rotation point at the center of the structure and elevation reference at the center of the frame and cover.

Multiple Vehicle Cross-Section Outlines

Unlike BRT, ORD does not allow defining different cross-section outlines for the front, middle, and rear of a vehicle. This capability is critical for accurate clearance assessments, especially for vehicles with varying geometry (e.g., tapered cab...

Inside Rail Pivot for Swept Envelope

In railway design, the standard practice is to pivot at the inside (low) rail when applying cant and generating swept envelopes. Currently, OpenRail Designer does not provide an option for this; users must create complex templates with point contr...

Regression: add a "Remove regression points" command both for H and V regression line

We can add points to regression line but we can't remove points from regression line.We can ignore but it is not good management especially if you added a wrong point to the regression line that must be added to another regression line. Because th...

Enhanced Mathematical functions in the Constraint Equation dialog

As a Template Developer I want enhanced mathematical functions in the constraint equation dialog so that I can spend less time trying to achieve the tasks with fewer workarounds. Workarounds: The users find they must do a lot of workarounds to per...

defining dynamic vehicle envelope for rail vehicles: need missing parameters

when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...
