Analyze point

It would be extremely useful to have Analyze Point on every tab by default. That tool gets utilized a lot to evaluate all kinds of civil geometry.

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

Point Control lock to to start and lock to end option should honor the corridor start and end limits

Actually , the lock to start and lock to end stations are defined by the start and end of alignment or feature the corridor it is based on. This makes the point control handles (in the 2d view) to be outside the corridor limits when the corridor i...

Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

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.

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Equal Space Point - Independently Control points after creation

After using the Equal Space Points command, I would like the ability to edit and adjust the offset of individual points which are created. We would also like an option to drop the Equal Space portion of the 'rule' so that we can have station and o...

Turnout points for tounge position

In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...

Retaining turnouts when horizontal alignments are dropped.

Currently when an alignment is dropped (no longer complex) all associated turnouts delete entirely and any geomtery created from these turnoiuts is also deleted. This is a big issue when optioneering, or when working on a scheme with lots of turno...
