"Export to IFC" exports the active model, not the default one.

The "Export to IFC" tool only exports the default model, not the active one. This is a big problem with OR since in most cases, the default model is the 2D. So we have to have the 3D reference turned on for it to export our objects. We end up with...

Add surface to multiple drainage profiles quickly & in batch

I would like to be able to select multiple pipe profiles in the drainage and utilities tab and right click to add a surface to all of them at once. This will save a considerable amount of time - instead of needing to open each profile model indivi...

Toggle for auto advancing to the next number in the place point tool.

Our workflow requires a different naming convention for different types of points. (Centerline points are 3000 series, section corners are 8000 series ect..) It would be handy to type the point number in once and then have the place point tool aut...

Add BETWEEN values to display rules

When using display rules Type it would be useful to have an option of values between A-B, not only >, = , and >=. This way you can choose between multiple versions of a component. Example absolute horizontal 0-1 Curb type F, 1-2 type A, 2-3 ...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Prestressed Concrete Girder Beam End Cuts & Clips

It would be great if we could control the vertical end cut orientation of the concrete girders: Normal (as is) and Vertical (plumb to the world). Also, we often have to clip the corners of girders when bridges are on heavy skew. Would be nice to b...
