DU: Only modelling workflow

When starting a DU, OpenRoads creates a whole DU project inside the file and brings a lot of hidroly/hidraulic properties with it. That's fine if the goal is to run an analysis. But what if I just want to model a whole network and never run it? Di...

Don't process corridor for change of disabled Point Control or Parametric Constraint

Not sure why it does this, but it doesnt make sense that the software processes when these are changed although they are disabled. To aid in productivity, especially for large corridors, the corridor should check if the Point Control / Parametric ...

Import Item Type Values

Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...

Tool to convert Parametric Cell to a 2D Civil Cell

Civil Cells are often difficult to create due to it's use of parent-child relationships. I find it easier to create what I'm looking for by using constraints and variables for Parametric Cells. I think most Parametric Cells act similar to how a Ci...

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to reference in Navisworks model files

Currently our only option is to bring in Navisworks Simulate models is find the .DWGs that possibly populate it and bring each one in individually. The individual reference option misses out on any files from other software (such as smartplant) su...
