Ability to View Alignment Stationing in Plan View in ConceptStation

I am requesting an enhancement to allow the user to view alignment stationing in plan view in ConceptStation. Currently, alignment stationing can only be viewed from the profile model. This would be helpful when adding PI points or modifying horiz...

Annotate Horizontal length along straight on profile

Requirement is to annotate horizontal length of straight on profile (station end - station start). It is available in frame annotation but not along linear so annotations don't match. Only the slope length can be annotated along the linear

Ability to change appearance of points generated from Equal Space Points command

With the Equal Space Points command, points are generated to mark intervals along an element. However, these points are very difficult to see and use. In Autocad, the command PTYPE allows you to change point styles to different shapes and sizes to...

Quick Profile Transition application on fillet being part of complex element

When using Quick Profile Transition (QPT), we need ability to select (apply to) a fillet that is part of a complex element - similar to Alt option (to Pick Components of Complex) for Arc Between Elements > Simple Arc, when applying fillet at PI...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

Ability to lock profile when start stationing changes

Right now (2022 R1) if an alignment with a profile is extended in the start, the profile moves together with the start of the alignment. Two wishes: Possibility to lock the profile elements in their present position. Possibility to move the whole ...

Turnout Creation Wizard

Developing turnouts in the new software can be quite cumbersome. If there was a wizard that allowed users to input known common pieces of geometry in a more descriptive and graphical fashion, it would help significantly. When geometry elements are...

Line and Curve Tables for both Alignments and Parcels

Need tools for creating Line and Curve tables with smarts. Geopak D&C had a tool for creating line and curve tables. Why doesn't OpenRoads have tools for this? Needs to be smart so that as changes are made to the geometry the data in the table...
