Dynamic Cross Section Enable Showing Elevations at Selected Template Points

Similar to the commands like "Place Temporary Vertical Dimension", have a Right Click command to enable showing the temporary elevation of a specific template point selected such as a Ditch Flowline template point, existing surface at EOP template...

Join Function in Table Editor Function similar to in Bentley Rail Track Horizontal Check Integrity Box

The join function is not available to join two or more straights with the same bearing that falls under one 'Complex Geometry'. This is especially problematic currently for us as there is currently no way to join two straights (see 'ORD Join Funct...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

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, ...

Edit the Civil Properties in an existing Sheetseeds.dgnlib

Could we edit the values in the sheetseed.dgnlib rather than having to delete and start over. We can see the Civil properties and standards change and evolve could there be a way to let an admin make changes to the values. Example I want to change...

Verify Turnout

Use the Geometry Connector with start and end elements chosen as turnouts. The converged result gives a disconnection between the regression alignment and the turnout. You can only discover it by zooming in to the closest possible view. A "Verify ...

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...

Unable to report on Geometric Points direction relative to an Alignment.

In OpenRail Designer, unable to output the direction information when comparing geometry points to a baseline alignment. In Bentley Rail Track we were able to create clearance reports that included the direction. It appears OpenRailDesigner's repo...

Surface Template - "Process Corridor" similar tool

Just add the function to process the template again so it can be updated. This is a major issue when using surface templates with clipping boundaries. If I change the clipping boundary (a simple shape on the 2D model), I have to delete and reapply...

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 ...
