Currently, ORD cannot process more than two attributes from a survey data file into their own unique attribute column. The workaround is tedious and unintuitive: First, modify the CSV file from the data collector (not good practice to modify a sur...
Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates
Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...
Allow superelevation lanes to follow a separate control line
In the old Geopak we could create superelevation shapes to follow a profile grade line (we called this a "PGL Chain". In locations where the lanes transition offset, this helped us to see that the lanes transitioned offset while still following st...
One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...
Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex
When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...
Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve
As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Feature Definition Toolbar
A proposal for improving/expanding this feature
Choosing Feature Definitions is a frequently used feature in OpenRoads Designer. Especially in urban projects, switching between pavement types, curbs, placing signs, s...
Ability to control the directory opened when importing text files to fieldbooks
Currently, when importing text files to fieldbooks the directory opens in the last used directory. It would be useful to control this behavior so that it can open in the directory where the active DGN is located. This can function similar to the c...
Provide an option to quickly apply combined horizontal and vertical constraints to geometry elements. Where geometry lines (breaklines) intersect, they need to share a common elevation. The current process requires creating profile intersection po...
