In both OpenRoads and OpenRail ConceptStation it would be very helpful to be able to add 3D text above tracks, roads and other objects for easier orientation when reviewing the model with project members.
If profiles lived in a physical space that you could get to then you would be able to replace a profile without breaking references and creating a ton of rework. That is what we did in Inroads and it worked great. Now we are forced to use drawings...
It would be useful to be able to turn on-/off single alignments. Perhaps with a checkbox in the "OpenRail Model" section in the explorer, just like the ones in the "Feature definition" section in OpenRail Standards. This could probably be handy wi...
Text Favorite cross section slope - hide trailing zeros
We are able to format most text favorites to hide trailing zeros. However, we are not able to hide trailing zeros for text favorites for Cross Section Annotations > Segments > Slope. We can define the precision, but there is no option to hid...

Inroads allowed the user to toggle a tick mark, such as a plus symbol (+), to show the position of any survey point in the fieldbook. Very useful. ORD allows the toggling of many different attributes of a point by using Survey Decorators. Please a...
I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...
Trim with Connection Points/Regions on opposite sides of cell
I would like to have the ability to put connection regions and connection points on opposite ends of cells, specifically aprons. Currently, the apron won't trim with this setup.

ports - Regression...
This was an invaluable way of reporting existing cants, sixfoots, etc. with the figures generated in line with a
'Control Track'.
