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...
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...
Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers
One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...
Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?
Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.
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...
in Drainage and Utilities, remove the Maximum Spread (global for the dgn file) and make it editable for each individual node. Roadways have lots of different gutters etc so I don't want a max spread for the whole file, I want individually.
When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...
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...
Kindly add a non-graphical way of identifying whether a pipe contains bends or not and information about the coordinates.
The report is required to produce pipe setting out schedules and share the coordinates with the contractor. It would be...
