In previous products, the user was able to drawing a pattern lines by inputting stations and offset lengths (for an individual station or for the entire alignment length). The new process of creating pattern lines with Civil AccuDraw is a massive ...
Label all the points in a superelevation section with Civil Labeler
Superelevation is a tabular note that goes on the general info sheet with the super elevation diagram, so we usually just fill out the info in that tabular note. Designers just blow up the tabular note to add lines and make it work per project. If...
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...
Profile by Best Fit > Convert to Profile Rule requires ability to set vertical curve type
Create a best fit vertical profile and then convert to a Profile Rule. It only creates parabolas ... we need the ability to create a circular vertical curve. The profile by Best Fit command may only utilize parabolas, but they ONLY work with circu...
This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...
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.
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.
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...
