Copy named boundary from another file

The ability to copy plan drawings from a different file to have the same boundaries for different disciplines and you are able to edit named boundaries in each separate discipline. In summary the named boundaries start the same but they are indepe...

Export Geometry XML from Read Only File

We have many users on the survey side that need to quickly jump in a design file and export out an alignment xml for staking. Non-Roadway users do not have write access to these files and the export geometry tool cannot be used in a read only file...

Slope to Mesh - "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include Meshes

Update the the "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include slope to Mesh. This will allow users to grade to 3d meshes created by linear template components and corridor components. Currently if I want to daylight to a corridor mesh with this c...

Make profile active without opening profile view

It would be useful if some of the profile tools (quick profile from surface, profile from surface, etc) had a toggle to allow the profile to be set as active when it is created. This would make it more efficient in cases like when you need to crea...

Add ability for Geometry build to automate station equations when joining complex geometry

In the Geometry Builder Edit, I can pick multiple geometry complex alignments and add them to create a 'combined' geometry. When I pick the multiple geometry elements and combine them, it starts with the alignment stationing of the first selected ...

Add groups and filters to Parametric Constraints so that I can limit the list to where I am working

Would be nice to be able to group the parametric constraints by what they are, similar to how event points can be grouped. Say I am adjusting pavement depths, would be nice to see only the pavement depth constraints. Similarly, would also like to ...

Addition of a new Linear Terrain Triangle Void Feature to automate precision Terrain triangle trimming

One very important piece of functionality that is currently missing in OpenRoads is a Linear Terrain Void feature type. This Linear Terrain feature would void/null any Terrain triangles it crosses, allowing users to add these features into their t...

Annotation of distance between points along an alignment

A tool that makes it possible to annotate the distance between two points along an alignment or between points on two different alignments, but parallel to one alignment is my wish. It would be useful, so you don´t need to annotate or write down t...

Export to IFC/Export to SHP/Export Geometry to reprojected coordinate system

Part of our design process includes exporting Geometry lines to XML and exporting both IFC and SHP files. These assets get loaded into our GIS system. However, during the design process, we design off of a modified coordinate system, and our GIS s...

Annotate part of element name on cross sections and profiles

I want to be able to annotate the names (and item type properties) of utilities on cross sections and profiles. For example, if there are 10 water pipes that have been surveyed and imported as 3D linear elements they will have unique feature names...
