Feature Definition Toolbar
A proposal for improving/expanding this feature
Choosing Feature Definitions is a frequently used feature in OpenRoads Designer. Especially in urban projects, switching between pavement types, curbs, placing signs, s...
Flood Volumes - Surface analysis between three surfaces
It would be beneficial to have the ability to specify surface math logic - Above Existing, Below Proposed, and Below "Floodplain" (variable plane) to get good floodplain volumes.
Selection of named boundary with different associations
TxDOT likes to see driveway P&P’s side by side on a single sheet (see attached example), and when the workspace didn’t have a sheet seed that accommodated this type of configuration we created one ourselves. The main issue is placing both driv...
Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"
Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.
So far Openrail designer contains a tool called create 3D cut for profiles. It is very useful when one wants to show cuts from a 3D section across the track. However one can choose only a specific distance from track. There are cases (for example ...
Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins
Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...
It is usual request to annotate 3D features on cross sections. At point or in frame. It does work when feature is 2D+3D but not if feature is 3D only. That is commong with existing ground and more and more with modelling using linear features (wit...
New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration
Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...
Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates
Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...
Being able to add/remove references that are stored inside cross sectional saved view
Rather than creating a new cross sectional named boundary, it would be convenient for the saved views to synchronize with 3D reference window and level display. There could even be a feature to toggle this feature on and off for a saved view.
