There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai
n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are
looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.
Elevation analysis needs improved within the profile window. Specifically elevation differences. Either at a single station or point, or minimum distances, etc. In the attached screen shot, I would like to know where my minimum distance occurs bet...
Currently when only one rail alignment can be selected to output a horizontal report. Would be great if the ability to select multiple alignments and output a horizontal report at the same time. Reason: Currently have projects which contain multip...
Geometry Points ruled by Name to allow users to move Points by importing ASCII
Ruling point import by name would add some powerful automation to the software. If a user could import a Point via ASCII and have any existing Points with the same name update (while maintaining the same object) this would allow things like posts ...

Future consideration
When using drawing seeds to define named boundary limits, all of the drawing seeds available from the variable MS_DGNLIBLISTDRAWINGSEEDS are listed. This would include both the Plan version and the Profile version of a Plan&Profile sheet. This...
Separate geometric ratios summary from stress ratio summary
OpenBridge LEAP Steel Summaries include geometric ratios (like 6.10.7.3-1) together with stress ratios. This is not helpful, as that ratios is not a real demand/capacity ratio, therefore when that geometric value of "performance ratio" is high, it...
Dimension Element Tool: Dimensioning the arc length along with arc shape leader
The user needs a length dimension along with a leader shape that matches the measured arc. In the attached image, the white arc represents the length dimension along with the leader, which has the same shape as the measured arc (orange arc).
This tool was very useful for placing cells such as "raised pavement markers" at set distance intervals along very long stretches. Without this tool, plans involving tasks such as these, especially in transportation plans, take much longer.
