Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.

Need to annotate partial alignment lengths along turnout from point of switch to start/end

Users need a way to annotate the same way SS2 would annotate with the Switch Height Plan command. Partial lengths along the alignment need to be annotated, but there is not a way to do this in OpenRail. The workaround is to create a dummy alignmen...

Allow user to change default settings

When I open a profile view, the default vertical exaggeration is 10. That is way too much. And I hate having to change it every time I open a profile view. Everyone is diffferent, though. I'm sure some folks love it. It would be nice if there was ...

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...

Warning if we attach a dgn with ss4/ss10 schema data

As projects are still transitioning to ORD, I propose for a warning in ORD if someone tries to attach a reference dgn file that includes ss4/ss10 civil schema. As I understand it can be dangerous to mix these types of data especially if something ...

Allow multiple live load vehicles in Leap Bridge Steel to be exported to Substructure Analysis

Currently, when exporting the Leap Bridge Steel (LBS) to perform substructure analysis, you can only export one live load vehicle at a time. Our project has two separate vehicles to be analyzed. One workaround is to export the loads, close the fil...

profile annotation - parabola dimensions as linear annotation and not drawing model annotation

presently parabola dimensions are in drawing model and not in the linear profile annotations, this make them NOT dynamics and always need to be refreshed. By making them in the linear annotation they could be more dynamics.

Add superelevation tracking

add civil analysis, or tracking to superelevation lane, so we could know what is the superelevation when in transition.

The ability to set a corridor feature definition that automatically increases the template drop interval in sections with curvature and superelevation

As we transition to using the model as a legal document, we are refining the standards we have for template drops to ensure our model provides adequate information to be used directly in construction. Our standards will require a certain interval ...

Provide Low Point/High Point Information in Profile Table Editor

Lost functionality that was available in Geopak. Helpful to meet specific locations when designing a profile, instead of storing the profile and reading the profile report, or hand calculation of the low and high points.
