Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads

This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Ability to use end condition exceptions on linear templates

Being able to use end condition exceptions for linear templates would be extremely beneficial for roadway designers. We often use end condition exceptions to turn off slopes in order to connect external features like ditches to the corridor. Not b...

Export Civil Report to csv

We're using ORD version 2023, and the Civil Reports browser allows us the option to export to xml, html, doc, and xlsx file formats. We used to have a function that allowed us to save as a txt file, which we could change the extension to csv so it...

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

civil cell variables with expressions and variations

When we create parametric cells, we are able to use expressions to calculate values based on inputs, and in the properties of the cell, each of the variables (listed as visible) are shown, and you can adjust the cell from there. You can also creat...

Coupling between horizontal and vertical regrerssion lines

A very problematic area is the coupling between horizontal and vertical regression analysis. Generally speaking, one must create a horizontal regression line first, create regressed elements, couple them together in a complex geometry and then pro...

Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...

See Coordinates of Objects in Model Space

Say if I had pre-cast units (say rectangular for ease of the idea), you can see the coordinates of the 4 bottom corners (or other named points) of the pre-cast unit if I click on it. This would show up in model space view as shown: https://imgur.c...
