I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...
It's a little cumbersome to keep going back and forth between models when developing annotation groups. An alternative could be to be able to select the geometry that is shown as the example when in the annotation group manager.
Create a button/command that creates a linked 3D model associated with the active 2D model
When we create a new file we often start with a 2D seed with only one 2D model in it. We often would like to have a linked 3D model associated with that 2D model. It would be great to have a simple button that force creates the linked 3D model.
We would like a way to set even stationing to one precision and odd stations to another.
Even station, 0 decimals and odd station 2 decimals in the same run.
For the modeling and model review process, it would be helpful to have Description fields for common corridor inputs, such as Parametric Constraints, Point Controls, etc. that can be easily discovered using the Corridor Objects tool.
Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.
An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...
Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.
This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.
Currently there is a menu option to unmerge points for components, it would be nice to just unmerge a single point from both components and not all the points.
Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements
The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...
