XSLT 2.0 Support - Civil Reports

Who would like to have more capable Civil Reports? Currently, OpenRoads Designer relies on the XSLT 1.0 Transformation Language for generating Civil Reports. This language was published in 1999, now 24 years ago. In 2009, a much more full-featured...

Ability to have corridor/linear template pivot at end of alignment

Currently when developing a object that is at a skew, whether it be a road, bridge, culvert, or other detail modeling. If the start/end of the object is at a skew compared to the alignment that it is attached to, it is difficult to model. The user...

Ability to define non-uniform cross section named boundaries

The ability to define the location and width of cross section named boundaries that are not uniform along the length of the project. For example, regular sections might be 500 feet wide but some areas require wider sections for ramps, side roads, ...

Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...

Named Key Station

Key Station is defined as a station of an alignment, and additional information can't be added. I think it would be great to able to assign a name to the Key Station and use this name in the other modelling that requires station inputs. This will ...

Add Ability to Place Civil Label With View Independent Setting When Using Leader in Civil Labeler

I am needing to enable the View Independent setting in Civil Labeler on text favorites using leaders. For example, I am using text favorites in Civil Labeler (that require leaders) to annotate existing right-of-way and property lines information a...

Add Color Coded Surface tool from InRoads to OpenRoads Designer.

The Color-Coded surface tool is missing in OpenRoads Designer which was there in InRoads, We can use the Thematic Height Display Style but that forces to use Rasterized Option while printing and in the PDF the surface gets pixelated.

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

Annotate Height/Offset difference from Multiple Stratum in Cross Section

Currently, Drawing annotation for Cross Section is only available for Ground Z and (design) Z. If there are multiple stratum and terrain models, no direct option to annotate the height/offset difference from design to other stratum, or stratum (te...
