DU: Only modelling workflow

When starting a DU, OpenRoads creates a whole DU project inside the file and brings a lot of hidroly/hidraulic properties with it. That's fine if the goal is to run an analysis. But what if I just want to model a whole network and never run it? Di...

civil cell variables with expressions and variations

When we create parametric cells, we are able to use expressions to calculate values based on inputs, and in the properties of the cell, each of the variables (listed as visible) are shown, and you can adjust the cell from there. You can also creat...

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...

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...

Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally KYT...

ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

Fix the rotation issue when importing drainage nodes from inroads.

We recently used ORD to import 200 plus drainage structures from inroads to ORD. It brought in the nodes, but the rotation was off. We had to manually rotate the node to the correct angle. Also, the 2-D and 3-D rotation did not match until the nod...
