Static grid in profile view

I would like to have possibility to turn on static grid in geometry profile view. Something like the ability to set the main grid and minor grid intervals in the geometry profile view in the same way like it is done in drawings and sheets and make...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Create a Geometric report

I would like to file an enhancement request to create a report displaying geometrics, stations and offsets. I have attached an email with the details on how we would like the information displayed in the report. Here’s the information from our me...

Parent -child relationship for polygon elements.

For RW acquisition. Item types would be inherent from the parent polygon and the ability to subtract area from Parent area to child area. Similar to a parcel element in Geopak.

Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.

An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

Add ability to create an Event Point list in the OpenRoads Designer SDK.

I would like to programmatically create a new EventPoint list for an alignment. Looking through the Bentley.CifNET.GeometryModel.Tools.Helpers methods, I found GetEventPointList(Alignment) that returns a List<Bentley.CifNET.GeometryModel.KeySta...

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Retaining turnouts when horizontal alignments are dropped.

Currently when an alignment is dropped (no longer complex) all associated turnouts delete entirely and any geomtery created from these turnoiuts is also deleted. This is a big issue when optioneering, or when working on a scheme with lots of turno...
