Many organizations like ours have a consistent and comprehensive export mapping scheme required for GENIO exports. Currently users need to copy a standard XML settings file and put it in their user prefs folder to get them correctly mapped for exp...

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

OpenBuildings CATALOGs make it very easy to manage and retrieve data from multiple elements. Really making the I from BIM work. There is nothing similiar to that in OpenSite or OpenRoad, but it should! A very simple example is ifc shema class defi...

Every other software that we use has an option to "compose" the forces from an individual set of shell and beams cross section at a specified location using a given effective shell width, for example two that I use: LARSA has "Compound Element For...

Possibility to add/remove/change length of long sleepers sets in turnouts that are placed in a geometry. When you are working with existing geometry and there are turnouts with too long sleepers sets or if you by mistake place a turnout that has a...

External geometry projected into the design profile needs to be annotated to better inform what / where they are and assist in design processes like matching instantaneous grade

We deliver terrain models for top/bottom surfaces of a roadway. Due to gaps in project data we often have multiple top surfaces and multiple bottom surfaces. It would be nice to export all surfaces as a single XML file similar to alignments.

Currently, the workflow to achieve this is in general case (including canted track) where profile = lower rail elevation is : Create lower rail of branch line: horizontal offset create rails on main: create rails command Extend slope defined by ma...

Existing cant annotation is often, if not always, required on profile drawing. Actually we must project rails onto the profile, create aliases, to extract level differences between existing rails whereas the information is fully available from reg...

This will be very useful for bridge widening projects. Also, consider that the support will have gaps and overlaps between supports.
