Ability to Analyze Elevations in Dynamic Cross Section

Users would like the ability to quickly place a point in the dynamic section view to pull elevation information. It would be nice to have that text remain in place as you move from section to section, similar to the cut/fill volumes between sectio...

Improve Geometry Builder interface

Often Surveyors are responsible for generating exi sting alignments from limited data (in plans or collected in field.) We have identified that using the Geometry Builder can be a "wo rkaround" but it is clunky and there are more steps involved th...

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...

Auto-annotate parametric constraints, template transitions, point controls, superelevation

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

Tabular profile annotation to include speed table values

As a light rail design engineer I want to produce profiles with a lot of information to be able to check a maximum amount of information on a single document.On critical information for light rail design is the maximum speed. This is because light...

"Curve Set" text favorite annotation should annotate entire curve set

Under the Curve Set option under Location, an option for Spiral Left Middle, Spiral Right Middle, Curve Left Middle, Curve Right Middle needs to be added. Ability to annotate the Middle of a Spiral and/or Curve within a Curve Set. These options ne...

Horizontal Geometry tool similar to the Site Layout

Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath. I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and...

Have both turnouts as ''free'' when calculating a crossover

When calculating a crossover geometry (2 turnouts+geometry in between) it could be beneficial if both turnouts (beginning and end) could be set as free. This would be beneficial in cases when two tracks are not totall parallel and the only option ...

Civil Labeler - Add Dimension Line when annotation between points

When using Civil Labeler to annotate between 2 points, like plan linear>between geometry, it would be great to be able to place a dimension line controlled by usual dimension style and being able to place the annotation at the middle of the dim...
