Option to show Stopping Sight Distance instead of K-Value for vertical parabolas

Current default setting shows Vertical Curve Parameter or K-Value below the parabola length in the dynamic display of a vertical alignment. The geometry report has to be run or the annotation must be displayed to see the available SSD. It would be...

There is no way to easily measure an area within a cross section.

In ORD when you attempt to measure the graphics within a XS View it appears that you get the surface area of the entire cut or fill volume. As a user, I need the specific end area for the element. Presently you have to trace the element with a mea...

Have Plan Readability Recognize Sheet Orientation

The existing Annotation settings offer a plan readability setting to invert text if it would otherwise appear upside down. This appears to be tied to design file orientation. For this to really be useful, it needs to function according to the fina...

Surface Templates- Option to create top 3D linear element

Currently, when a surface template is applied there is not a 3D linear element created for the top linear feature. It would be useful to have the option to create the top 3D linear element.

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...

. Can the process of creating the sheet layout be updated to select the intersections as key locations which are to be the centre of a sheet, then the remaining length between the intersections is divided to provide an optimal spacing.

The Sheet layout for alignment plans is not used verry much because it often places the sheet break within intersections. An intersection should be on one sheet without a break. Can the process of creating the sheet layout be updated to select the...

Automatically adjust structure Hight to include pipe thickness

it would be more accurate to calculate the structure Height if when a pipe is connected to a structure that the bottom base slab was adjusted to be below the wall of the pipe. this would also make the 3D model look better.

Use parametric cells for creation and management of sign structures and sign bridges

This would be very similar to the way that OBM creates and manages bents, columns, footings, etc. This would allow for more rapid population of custom vertical sign items in our 3D design environments. By this I mean items of different sizes, span...

In "Template Options" dialog, add option to apply affixes to parametric constraints

The Create Template feature has a "Template Options" dialog that allows you to apply affixes to a component when dropping it into a template (e.g. automatically appending "_L" and "_R" to the end of point and component names). This feature doesn't...
