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 a step backward in functionality. Rapidly panning through the station intervals was very useful in InRoads in order to quickly verify the model and identify issues with the templates, problematic areas, and make fill slope decisions while designing. It was also useful as a low-impact way to check someone else's design and diagnose issues with the model. This should be incorporated into the OpenRoads dynamic cross section viewer.

On behalf of Ramboll Transport division:
We REALLY need a scroll function or similar, to quickly browse through cross section stations. Please elevate to PLANNED instead of future consideration.
