Better Elevation Thematic Tool for terrains.

It's very hard and troublesome to create elevation countours for cut and fill or layer thickness. The legends values have to be updated by hand for each new terrain. And in the end, it`s actually just a Display Style applied to the terrain or the ...

Land Use Areas from a Reference

It would be nice to extract Land Use Data from a reference file rather than requiring the Land Use Areas always be drawn in the main drainage design file. This would both cut down on clutter in the design file and also allow larger areas to be del...

Export Field Book data with Observations AND Attributes

I process survey data for the Maine Department of Transportation. We have been transitioning from InRoads to OpenRoads for about a year now and are currently testing OpenRoads Designer 2023. We really need a way to export edited Field Book data wi...

Ability to define non-uniform cross section named boundaries

The ability to define the location and width of cross section named boundaries that are not uniform along the length of the project. For example, regular sections might be 500 feet wide but some areas require wider sections for ramps, side roads, ...

Plan Sheet Named Boundary trimmed to fit within Sheet Boundary

When placing plan named boundaries, they do not take into account the sheet extents. In curves the boundaries can extend beyond the sheets. Users then would need to go adjust the named boundaries manually after sheet creation, which then causes ad...

SignCAD Layout Generation From Street-Level Imagery

This would be useful as we currently manage multiple signage replacement projects per year (10-15) that involve the layout of hundreds of signs in SignCAD. This represents a large portion of the labor hours in the creation of engineering plans for...

Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

Improve Civil Analysis to another alignment

Wasn't sure whether to post this to technical support as a bug or here. This is a tiny concern in the greater scheme of things but a frustration nonetheless. Suppose you use civil analysis tool to track a horizontal alignment with an active vertic...

XSLT 2.0 Support - Civil Reports

Who would like to have more capable Civil Reports? Currently, OpenRoads Designer relies on the XSLT 1.0 Transformation Language for generating Civil Reports. This language was published in 1999, now 24 years ago. In 2009, a much more full-featured...

Gutter velocity and normal depth in GVF-ORD D&U

It would be very helpful if ORD drainage model calculates the velocity and normal depth in the gutter- especially when we use gutter as a user defined gutter/channel in the medians to analyze median channel.
