Create Profile Named Boundary of non-active Verticals

We need a way to manually select the vertical alignment (profile element) when creating Profile named boundaries (instead of assuming we want to use the active vertical). In cases where we have divided roadways that follow a shared centerline but ...

Allow flow arrow density adjustment similar to contour lines

All the current products anchor their surface data in triangles, and allow different types of visualizations to happen. For instance, you can choose to show major and minor contours as needed, and they do not change the way the triangles actually ...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

Join Function in Table Editor Function similar to in Bentley Rail Track Horizontal Check Integrity Box

The join function is not available to join two or more straights with the same bearing that falls under one 'Complex Geometry'. This is especially problematic currently for us as there is currently no way to join two straights (see 'ORD Join Funct...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Ability to define non-uniform cross section named boundaries

The ability to define the location and width of cross section named boundaries that are not uniform along the length of the project. For example, regular sections might be 500 feet wide but some areas require wider sections for ramps, side roads, ...

Correct the 'Thematic Slopes Display Style' to provide a single colour per triangle when displaying terrain triangle slopes.

Some of the older designers will recall the display "Colour-Coded Slopes" within InRoads, where DTM triangles could be shaded a single colour based on their resultant grade. As per the laws of geometry, one triangle could only be assigned one colo...

Edit the Civil Properties in an existing Sheetseeds.dgnlib

Could we edit the values in the sheetseed.dgnlib rather than having to delete and start over. We can see the Civil properties and standards change and evolve could there be a way to let an admin make changes to the values. Example I want to change...
