Split Drainage Node Baseline Reference into Station Reference and Offset Reference

Drainage nodes currently utilize an Elevation Reference and a Baseline Reference. It would be better to split the Baseline Reference into two separate references, 1) "Station Reference", and 2) "Offset Reference". In practice, this would allow a n...

Add a right click option in the Feature Definition dialogue for "Set Active"

When navigating through all the feature definitions it would be handy to have an option to set the feature to the active definition being used. It's easier many times to navigate through the OpenRoads Standards list to find features than using the...

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

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...

Having an Undo & Redo button for the Table Editor

Sometimes mistakes happen. Rather than closing out of the window and waiting for ORD to undo the mistake, the "Undo/Redo" button would make the design process all little smoother. The button won't end mistakes but it sure beats having to close out...

Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...

Creating pattern/hatch for cut/fill area in Cross-section

It seems that currently it is possible to hatch/pattern corridor template components using Feature Definition. However, it does not show when applied to cut/fill meshes. Would be great to have this as an enhancement

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...

Apply superelevation to Linear Templates

I have built a civil cell using linear templates. The civil cell will need to have superelevation applied to it. Currently I cannot apply superelevation to the linear templates, and I cannot use a corridor within my civil cell without other issues...
