Linear Template - the BSplines warning is not helpful

When you place a Linear Template on a splined element a warning is generated which requires user interaction to dismiss: "Warning: The base geometry selected for this corridor contains B-Spline elements for the horizontal Transitions. Consider rec...

Survey Point Elevation From Terrain

when creating a new survey point or geometry point, I would like an option to get the elevation of the point XZ from a terrain.

Use parametric cells for creation and management of sign structures and sign bridges

This would be very similar to the way that OBM creates and manages bents, columns, footings, etc. This would allow for more rapid population of custom vertical sign items in our 3D design environments. By this I mean items of different sizes, span...

Need modeling of curved wing walls

Currently in OBM wingwalls can only be modeled straight (and skewed). We need to be able to model curved wing walls, i.e. on a horizontal curve.

Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.

Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

Allow Vertical Geometry Stationing (Profile Annotations) to Reflect Correct Horizontal Chord Definition Stationing

This would be useful for designers working on a project in which chord definition is the client's standard. Currently OpenRail does not correctly annotate the stationing in our profile sheets. The stationing displayed by OpenRail is correct in arc...

Gauge and Cant Reports on Regression Information

Based on the way the new regression tools work for importing regression lines we no longer have a way of running gauge and cant reports on existing alignments based on LHR/RHR surveys.

Annotation Group for Profile Intersection

This will be useful to annotate automatically intersecting features like Roads, Utilities etc.

Add BETWEEN values to display rules

When using display rules Type it would be useful to have an option of values between A-B, not only >, = , and >=. This way you can choose between multiple versions of a component. Example absolute horizontal 0-1 Curb type F, 1-2 type A, 2-3 ...
