Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.

Add option for rounding corners when using the "Geometry Offsets and Tapers" Tool

With regular MicroStation lines, when using the "move parallel" tool (Offset), there is an option to choose "Round" which creates rounded corners for the offset line. There should be a similar option when using the ORD Tool "Offsets and Tapers." C...

Add Support for 3D Cut on Closed Alignments

Currently, The 3D cut does not work on the closed alignment's profile model. This is required specially in the case of Roundabouts. We can not create a 3D cut on the Roundabout profiles.

Inserting the actual profile of reference adjacent profile

This is a missing feature on the Project Profile to Element as it is only accurate when two elements are actually parallel. We need some feature that will instantly copy/insert the profile of the adjacent element which is usually a reference dgn. ...

Analyze Point improvement to display slope in a vertical radius.

It is often necessary to check the slope in a specific point/section of a vertical curve, but this cannot be done right now with the "Analyze Point" tool. No matter where on the alignment I click the slope that displays is the slope of the first v...

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...

Improve civil geometry constraints

Provide an option to quickly apply combined horizontal and vertical constraints to geometry elements. Where geometry lines (breaklines) intersect, they need to share a common elevation. The current process requires creating profile intersection po...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...
