feature definition - browser all element that used a specific feature definition

Get a list of elements using a specific feature definition. Similar to level usage. This "select by graphic filter" filter only feature type that compose a terrain model.

Analyze point

It would be extremely useful to have Analyze Point on every tab by default. That tool gets utilized a lot to evaluate all kinds of civil geometry.

Add WorkSet-wide project components to Explorer

It would be extremely useful to be able to have a list of all the project components in a WorkSet easily accessible from the explorer, regardless of what dgn you are in. Exactly like the sheet index tool but for terrain models, alignments, corrido...

Being able to add/remove references that are stored inside cross sectional saved view

Rather than creating a new cross sectional named boundary, it would be convenient for the saved views to synchronize with 3D reference window and level display. There could even be a feature to toggle this feature on and off for a saved view.

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

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.

Turnout points for tounge position

In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...

Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...
