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...

Surface Template - "Process Corridor" similar tool

Just add the function to process the template again so it can be updated. This is a major issue when using surface templates with clipping boundaries. If I change the clipping boundary (a simple shape on the 2D model), I have to delete and reapply...

Apply cut/fill annotation to surface templates

When creating a cut/fill End Area Volumes table on cross sections, the annotation does not work for surface templates. If there is no corridor in the cross section, it will not even place an EAV Table. The cut/fill EAV tool works and displays the ...

Enhancement::Additional Tool for Design of Cross over connection between Tangent & Canted Tracks

I suggest improvements to Bentley OpenRail Designer for handling Cross over connections in the following scenarios: Cross over Between Adjacent Tangent Tracks: Enable a simple geometric connection between two parallel tracks without the use of Geo...
