Add all feature definition types to cross section annotation groups.

Currently, annotation groups are limited to certain feature definition categories. This limits our ability to automatically annotate point features such as signs or geotech borings or drainage/utility nodes. It would be desirable to extract data f...

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

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...

One button downgrade and export

While we are in a transition phase between the old v8i to the ORD dgn files, we sometimes receive files in the wrong dgn format. The steps to downgrade to a v8i backwards compatible file involves too many steps and introduces units and coordinate ...

Annotating plan elements on profile

We have a client need to streamline the process to annotate the horizontal geometry on the profile. The need is to call out the curve compensation that is calculated at horizontal curves and displayed with a dimension line. As well adding in the h...
