No possibility to set the lower limit height of the profile

When creating profiles using ,,Named Boundary”, I cannot set the lower height limit of the profile. I propose to add in the next part of ORD setting the lower height limit if we want to make one drawing sheet from profile. This would help with the...

Modify default Height/Depth of a Node

In current version we do not have flexibility to change height/depth of a node from default 5.25 feet. At times we need lesser deep Nodes which does not require more than 1 or 2 feet of cover from soffit of conduit.

Create multiple long sections/profiles in the same model space

When creating profiles/long sections for track vertical geometry, ORD creates an individual sheet view and model view for each sheet. This creates a large amount of work when trying to bulk annotate or export long sections for drafting. It would b...

Additional Shoulder Rollover Slope Rows (3D Modeling - Templates)

I would like to make a suggestion on an improvement to template design for 3D Modeling in ORD. The Rollover values tool in superelevation template design is incredibly helpful, as it saves time by calculating the proper shoulder super rates accord...

Add an ExtendLine Code to Survey

This code would be similar to the DIST command, except it would allow the crews to add a taped distance to the last segment of a figure, which would extend that segment by that value. It would be similar to a DIST commend except instead of turning...

Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...

Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.
