Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references

We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.

Ability to choose named boundary stations from another geometry

Would like to have a checkbox when creating corridors and named boundaries (particular to cross sections) to allow users to choose another geometry to pick start and stop stations. Example, I built an alignment alongside two other adjacent alignme...

Pay Item Manager

ORD needs a pay item tool to manage all pay items and quantities for a project. This would help with keeping up with pay items that do not have elements in a file, especially in regard to digital delivery. PowerGeopak had a quantity manager that c...

Ability to plot CPT data in OpenRoads from OpenGround

Our partner Dataforensics has a project with an OpenGround user, HDR where they need to plot borehole data and CPT data in OpenRoads. Seems like they were able to do this in Civil3D but are now using ORD and want to do the same as the attached

Plan annotation based on element length

A feature to define within the Annotation Group for plan alignment annotation and vary the text favourite used based on element length. For example, I would like to use a text favourite with transition geometry text on 1 line for elements greater ...

Filter Features by Name

The graphical filter is limited to feature element symbology and feature definition. Multiple, redundant, feature definitions must be created in order to import features to multiple surfaces. The feature names, assigned in the template, can be use...

Display Civil Accudraw Controls on Geometry created using Offset Tools

When geometry is created using the Horizontal Offset Tools, if the geometry is controlled using Civil Accudraw snaps this is not reflected in the Properties Tab for start and end points. This makes adjusting the Civil Accudraw snaps difficult, suc...
