Label all the points in a superelevation section with Civil Labeler

Superelevation is a tabular note that goes on the general info sheet with the super elevation diagram, so we usually just fill out the info in that tabular note. Designers just blow up the tabular note to add lines and make it work per project. If...

Point Table using MicroStation Table Styles

This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...

GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

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...

Ability to edit Annotation Groups in any model

It's a little cumbersome to keep going back and forth between models when developing annotation groups. An alternative could be to be able to select the geometry that is shown as the example when in the annotation group manager.

Annotate station of any alignment/feature in cross section

Loss of functionality from SS4 which had the ability to annotate "Station" or "Feature Station". I am cutting sections for a divided roadway and wishes to annotation the station of each centerline feature in his cross sections. Currently th...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Feature Name Override Pick List

When editing points in ITL and applying a feature name override, there should be a pick list of all currently defined name overrides. Right now the only option is to remember what names you have assigned.

Requesting Dogleg Cross Sections

Cross sections must be perpendicular to the flow lines at all locations. And they cannot intersect with each other. That is why it is common to see cross sections snap at different angles outside the main channel (we call this doglegging). The tri...
