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...

Create Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates

Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...

Feature Definition parameter - Show feature in plan, profile, XS

When we create a features, we want to see them sometimes in 2D, sometimes in 3D, sometimes in profiles, sometimes in cross sections. It would be nice to have a simply parameter "Draw/show in 2D", "Draw/show in 3D", "Draw/show in Profile", "Draw/sh...

Allow for Hydraulic calculations and profile creation while using tap nodes

Tap nodes are incredibly useful but do not allow for hydraulic modeling or for profile runs. I'd prefer to use tap nodes over transitions because they are easier to use and do not break trunklines into segments. This would help with profiles, pipe...

Cross Section named boundary by 2 points - Offset Overrides

When we create cross sections for culverts, the cross section often needs to be created at a skew from the centerline. We are able to create these using the 2 Points option. This option, however, is limited. We would like for our cross sections to...

Search and replace functionality across all cross section models

When needing to change a label or text across all cross sections, it would be very helpful to be able to add a toggle to search and replace text across all models, or select models.

Apply an Annotation Group to multiple named boundaries at a time

In cross section creation it would be helpful to batch select a group of drawing models to apply a specific annotation group to (after drawing models are created from named boundaries). For example, we usually have driveway cross sections or half ...
