"Export to IFC" exports the active model, not the default one.

The "Export to IFC" tool only exports the default model, not the active one. This is a big problem with OR since in most cases, the default model is the 2D. So we have to have the 3D reference turned on for it to export our objects. We end up with...

Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..

There is no way to easily measure an area within a cross section.

In ORD when you attempt to measure the graphics within a XS View it appears that you get the surface area of the entire cut or fill volume. As a user, I need the specific end area for the element. Presently you have to trace the element with a mea...

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...

Automatically adjust structure Hight to include pipe thickness

it would be more accurate to calculate the structure Height if when a pipe is connected to a structure that the bottom base slab was adjusted to be below the wall of the pipe. this would also make the 3D model look better.

Regression: existing cant units

In the same way we introduced slew and lift/lower unites, we should be able to define cant units in the Design File Settings>Civil Formatting. And it should be use by the "Show Existing cant" capability we can set in the Preferences

Add regression report tool for reporting against a control alignment

In Bentley Rail Track you could run a "Regression" report via Tools - XML Re ports - Regression... This was an invaluable way of reporting existing cants, sixfoots, etc. with the figures generated in line with a 'Control Track'.

Text file input for beam layouts and bridge geometry or bgs input

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

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...

Earthwork Quantity Cell table for Cross Sections

We currently only have the ability to produce Cut & Fill volume quantities using available text favorites for our cross sections. That's where it ends when it comes to extracting quantities from the model to display in the drawing/sheet models...
