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...
Use File Open dialogues that allow user to paste a file folder address
OpenRoads uses different types of file open dialogues throughout the program. The first type allows the user to paste a file address directly into the navigation bar. The second type does not allow the user to paste the file address and forces the...
If ditches do become channel features, KYTC would need channels to then be able to attach to other node types besides headwalls since we have many conditions and locations where they outlet into inlets of various types.
Users often make changes to the different fit options in the Dynamic XS view that are not persisted when the file is closed or a section via datapoint is issued (Fit Section / Center Backbone / Center on Current Offsets). It defaults back to the F...
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...
While I am in a profile view, I would like to be able to open a new profile from a different horizontal without having to activate the 2D view. It is a small thing but would be nice.
For large projects, we need the ability to have multiple engineers working on the hydraulic model. We can achieve this by splitting the pipe network into multiple files and creating catchments in separate files. Doing so causes us to lose the abil...
The Feature Defintion toolbar - a proposal for improving this function
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...
