Enhancement to Introduce the Remapping Capability on Terrain Model’s Source Path

There is currently not a way to remap the terrain model’s source path in ORD. This capability is needed to be able to push survey data updates via rewriting a .tin file to then update from source (sourcing back to the rewritten .tin file with surv...

Can openrail consider to improve the edit horizontal element tool

There are quite a lot of situations we need to edit element lengths (shorten or lengthen) by fixing their stop ends, which can be done easily in BRT; However, I couldn't find similar tools in Openrail to solve it. Can Openrail improve the table ed...

Allow Annotation Groups to annotate with Label Definitions

Now that the Civil Labeler definitions are stored within a dgnlib, i think it would be really useful to combine some functionality. Annotation Groups allow for annotating with text, cells, or lines. Adding with Label Definition would allow an anno...

Stacked Cross Section easier workflow

Create a better workflow for stacked cross sections. No need for complex seeds and dgnlibs. Just choose if we want to stack everything in a drawing model or in a sheet, how many rows and columns and hit enter.Maybe define the offsets and get a pre...

Disable Point Controls Rather than Delete When Control Can't Be Found

Currently when the control - profile, alignment, feature - can't be found due to a deletion or reference detachment, the corresponding point control(s) is removed from the corridor. Considering that these events may occur inadvertently and not dis...

Profile Run tool feature definition setting ought to re-symbolize drainage objects in profiles

At present, when selecting a feature definition for a profile run, it only affects the construction element created immediately after defining the profile run. It would make sense to have a setting where the feature definition of the profile run o...

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Warn users while detaching references whose labels are annotated in active file

civil labeler allows us to label civil geometry elements from reference files. Simply placing labels appears to apply the civil schema to the active dgn file.User like to have a warning when users detach reference files whose elements are labeled ...

Tool to Convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element or a MicroStation Linestring

There should be a one button command to convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element, a MicroStation Linestring, or individual MicroStation lines (User picks what they want). There are ways to accomplish this process now but most in...

Allow users to see horizontal and vertical alignments while in view only mode.

Wise users open files in read-only mode when they don’t intend to change the file. ORD should promote good file practice to allow us to view geometry when we are in view only mode.
