Allow "Save Settings" to save your preferred default settings in the Feature Definition Tool Bar

Many users prefer different settings to be selected by default in the Feature Definition Tool Bar. Currently, "Persist Snaps and Rule" is always ON by default when opening a file but nothing else. Even if you turn this off, or activate another set...

Calculate Component Quantities for Linear and Surface templates

To get the component quantities and document them, it is not possible to get a table for linear templates and surface templates as quick and easy as with the corridors. - Corridor. You can go to Explorer, OpenRoads Model, right click in a corrido...

"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...

Lock stationing to an XY coordinate.

As an MX user, we had the ability to lock stationing to an xy coordinate in an alignment. Please add this ability in ORD. An example use would be as follows: the user has a complex horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and wants to append a ta...

Ability to create a 3D ruled element when two gradings cut each other

When two gradings cut each other, for example mine corridor grading and a lateral ramp grading, you can use the Define target aliasing tool to use one of the two gradings as a target for the corridor containing the other grading to obtain the 3d l...

Export alignment in read-only file as LandXML

I have opened an ORD .dgn design in read-only mode. This is not uncommon, especially when using ProjectWise and the file is either at coordination/shared state, or checked out to another user. However, it is not possible to export the alignment us...

Infill grading tool

Provide a tool to quickly create infield gradings. When creating infield gradings, often we only to include part of a geometry element instead of the entire element. Because the terrain from element tool doesn't have the option to only import part...

Update the tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" to add better functionality when applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework

The tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" can currently be applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework, but it doesn't work very well at all, assuming due to it's reliance on stroking. It is often much more efficient/simple to create certain design ...

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

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...
