Collision-Free cross section annotation

​​There appears to be a feature in OpenRail and previously was in InRoads where you could specify in the Annotation Group to have the annotation shift if there was an overlap with another annotation but can't find the same feature in OpenRoads Des...

End Area Earthwork Corrections for Curvature

End Area Volumes are still a contractual requirement on projects. We need a tool to correct the earthwork calculations around curves like the GEOPAK “Centroid Adjustment” tool that did that correction and provided a summary of the centroid locatio...

Driveway Profile Sheet Creation Tool

For our DOT, we need to show profiles for driveways. Since they are not large, it is expected to have 4 or more to a single sheet. In the current workflow, creating the drawing models and moving the drawing models to sheets to make this work is ti...

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

Annotate Cross Section Locations In Plan

We often want to show the location of cross section in plan which can be done using the named Boundary Lines but they need to be annotated so you know what each represents e.g. stations/chainages or section names such as letters etc. There is a wo...

Enhancement to Create Project Node to Element Tool

There is currently not a way to project a node from the Drainage and Utility Model to an element (horizontal alignment’s profile model). Profile runs can be created and then projected onto the profile model by conduit linkage. With this enhancemen...

Split Cross Sections if Elements in Model Extend Outside of Default Width.

Currently our DOT requires that if ROW lines (or any element in the corridor) are outside the width of the default XS width, the user needs to create an extension or split the XS's to be able to show all design elements and ROW labels. Currently t...

Export to IFC/Export to SHP/Export Geometry to reprojected coordinate system

Part of our design process includes exporting Geometry lines to XML and exporting both IFC and SHP files. These assets get loaded into our GIS system. However, during the design process, we design off of a modified coordinate system, and our GIS s...

Annotate part of element name on cross sections and profiles

I want to be able to annotate the names (and item type properties) of utilities on cross sections and profiles. For example, if there are 10 water pipes that have been surveyed and imported as 3D linear elements they will have unique feature names...

Allow Parametric Constraints to Override Rollover Slope

As an OpenRoads Designer user, I want parametric constraints to be allowed to override Rollover slopes to make it easier to apply constraints to the corridor and template models.
