Vertical curves/kvalues to report direction as positive/negative

Handing of vertical curves in reports/table editor is always positive in the reports. Geometry exports are used by Construction Teams, as part of the Approved for Construction design pack. Horizontal curves have a handing convention - +ve = RH cur...

Add a warning prompt before deleting a line if it has elements drawn in the profile view.

This warning would be useful to avoid loosing work done in profile views.

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

Annotation of 3D features only on Xsection

It is usual request to annotate 3D features on cross sections. At point or in frame. It does work when feature is 2D+3D but not if feature is 3D only. That is commong with existing ground and more and more with modelling using linear features (wit...

In the Create Template editor add a list similar to the Point Name List for Components

This would enable users to quickly edit the component feature definitions for templates in the library.

Place a sanitary pipe that follows a terrain at a specific depth of cover.

It appears that the software currently doesn’t allow sanitary conduit FDs to follow a slope even when the FD is set to depth of cover. it would be nice to tell the program to follow a given depth under the terrain, so I can see the pipe slope vary...

Add the ability to place banks of conduits.

Electrical and Communications conduits are usually placed in banks of multiple conduits of say 12 conduits which may be of different sizes.

Cant editor parameters before creating cant

In the Cant Editor, there is a tool called validate data which allows you to add in your design parameters and then check against the cant the Openrail has already automatically generated. although a good tool, i just think it would be better Open...

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...

Overlap detection in Corridor Objects

I noticed that template ranges can overlap and there is no obvious indication that this is occurring. Ideally over lapping station ranges should highlight in red to draw attention to it.
