Flow Arrow from High to Low Point for any Civil/Linear Geometry

In placing drainage node to the carriageway or kerb/curb lines in 2D plan, it is useful to show the flow arrow from high point to low point for the drainage engineer. Currently, the flow arrow is only available in "Terrain", but not civil geometry...

Add the ability in Civil Labeler to label the side without requiring an offset value.

I need some additional settings to label the side without a value so that I can annotate my plans as required. The text favorite settings for “OpenRoads Plan Annotation Fields-Point Offset” does have settings to use a suffix to label a “Right” or ...

Utility Enhancements

Add the conduit table options similar to drainage for managing conduit sizes, materials, etc... Right now you have to input a conduit table for each utility type and can't import a table from utility to utility. Just need one set of tables to mana...

Ability to Export/Import Alignment With ALL Parts

Currently, the only way to export/import alignments appears to be using LandXML. Currently this does not appear to allow Exporting and Importing Event Points that are part of an Alignment. Since DGN's can be corrupted, there needs to be a method t...

Civil Expression value option for Increasing

Currently there are values for StationStart and StationEnd, which is dependent on the direction of the line being drawn. I am proposing an additional option to report the beginning and ending of stationing with respect to the alignment (smallest t...

Ability to add "lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules

An option to add "geometry lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules would be really useful to make the geometry behave as you wish. As an example it could be the center point of a radius so that the radius keeps it ...

Edit snap rules and constraints

Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...

Allow for different shaft fixity in one model

A column on drilled shafts can have different fixity locations for different load cases. Suggest allowing analysis of the same bridge with different fixities rather then needing to create multiple models with varying fixities for simplicity.

Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally KYT...

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...
