How can I design a turnout in 3D. Not only the rail but also all other details, such as sleepers, tongues, etc
Up to now the rails of the turnout can be created in 3D as 3D rails, but the turnout has many other elements, above all the sleepers are divided and all have different dimensions. How could this be created as 3D elements?
Ability to Hard-Code Precision and format for Station, Angle, Direction, etc. in XML reports
Using XML coding, we can control the precision of items for linear measurements and area measurements, bypassing the precision set by the user. This allows us to provide a more consistent report output. Currently it is not possible to do similar o...
It would be useful to have a zoom button (toggle) added to CivilAccudraw to automatically zoom to location of selected point. Example: type a station and it will zoom to that station. And maybe with capability to zoom 2D only or on multiple views ...
When using Cross Section Navigator, ability to see what the respective named boundary in plan view
When using the Cross Section Navigator to review the XS, I would like the ability to see the named boundaries highlight according to the cross section that you are looking at. This was a feature in OpenRoads Technology.
When I open a profile view, the default vertical exaggeration is 10. That is way too much. And I hate having to change it every time I open a profile view. Everyone is diffferent, though. I'm sure some folks love it. It would be nice if there was ...
Create Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates
Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...
Warning if we attach a dgn with ss4/ss10 schema data
As projects are still transitioning to ORD, I propose for a warning in ORD if someone tries to attach a reference dgn file that includes ss4/ss10 civil schema. As I understand it can be dangerous to mix these types of data especially if something ...
Cell in GC will have additional properties for IFC
Placed cells with Generative components on alignment which have assigned item types as additional properties. Those properties will be later exported to IFC. Now the additional properties are not shown in GC only in ORD.
Vectorworks Landscape, Revit 2024 or Virtual Surveyor (a drone photogrammetry software) treat existing terrain in a extremely effective way, but all of them lack the volumes and tools from OpenRoads. What they do is genarating a solid from the exi...
Export DWG special mode for sheets and deliverables
ArchiCAD, Sketchup and Revit have a very nice workflow for creating DWG deliverables. Basically, the software merge all the viewports in the model like an array and then creates a viewport of each in the sheet. They also dumb down all the smart ci...
