Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Viewing Corridor Object and Dynamic Cross Section Tools in Read-Only

I sometimes have to look at another user's Corridor file to get additional details. If I reference in their file or open it read only, I'm not able to open up Corridor Objects to see what template they are using. It would be useful to allow me to ...

Point Control/Parametric control grouping folders within Corridor Objects tool.

Be able to group Parametric Constraints and Point Controls in the corridor Object tool into folders. IE - Ditch Profiles -> Ditch 1, Ditch 2, Ditch 3

Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...

Allow Surface Template for Corridor Top/Bottom Meshes

It would be extremely powerful if Surface Templates could select and use Corridor Top or Bottom Meshes as their base surface. If these were ruled users could create irregular shaped pavement elements with ease. This is something currently very lab...

Feature Definition parameter - Show feature in plan, profile, XS

When we create a features, we want to see them sometimes in 2D, sometimes in 3D, sometimes in profiles, sometimes in cross sections. It would be nice to have a simply parameter "Draw/show in 2D", "Draw/show in 3D", "Draw/show in Profile", "Draw/sh...

Create Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates

Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...

3D Clip in Corridor Clip

Very useful in Rock Tunnel Connections, It should work similar to Mesh Subtract in MicroStation, but should be a part of the Corridor information, like todays Corridor Clip is.

Sorting and Grouping of Corridors and Linear Templates

Currently Corridors and Linear Templates are very poorly sorted in Explorer. These need to at least be sorted alphabetically to allow users to easily find the Corridor/Linear template they are looking for. Our major projects have dozens and dozens...

Don't process corridor for change of disabled Point Control or Parametric Constraint

Not sure why it does this, but it doesnt make sense that the software processes when these are changed although they are disabled. To aid in productivity, especially for large corridors, the corridor should check if the Point Control / Parametric ...
