Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

SUDA - Spread Slope

Make it easier to manage longitudinal spread slope. It's nice to input the slope in the properties per node, but consider making it integrated to the gutters used during bypass flow drawing of gutters.

GIS Interoperability

I would like to see some of the tools from OpenCities, mainly the ability to read a geodata base, integrated into OpenRoads. Since Bentley Map was removed from the Select Series application and not added to the OpenRoads, we have very little GIS i...

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Ability to use end condition exceptions on linear templates

Being able to use end condition exceptions for linear templates would be extremely beneficial for roadway designers. We often use end condition exceptions to turn off slopes in order to connect external features like ditches to the corridor. Not b...

Field with station range of named boundary

It would be great if we could create a field (text favorite) that would label the station begin and end of a named boundary for an index of sheets layout.

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

Allow cut and fill meshes to be created by named boundary

When creating cut and fill meshes in ORD it creates the meshes for the entire design file. This applies a feature definition for both the cut and fill meshes that only allow for one applied shrink/swell rate. It would be helpful to be able to appl...

Expand Stationing Favorites to allow truncating trailing zeros.

When using any of the labeling and annotation tools, some situations end up with trailing zeros. When users manually labeled such occurrences, they would omit any trailing zeros. Other distance values allow this type of operation, but stationing d...

When using the Set Feature Definition tool on non-civil geometry, have it include Item Types attached to Feature Definition.

Currently, when using the Set Feature Definition tool to assign a Feature Definition to a non-civil element (ie a dumb MSCE line) it does not include the Item Types that are attached to the Feature Definition.
