Loops from end conditions are created. InRoads had a remove loops check box to prevent this, and we would like a similar feature added into ORD.

Ability to annotate the difference of slope for vertical curve (parabola)

Currently we can not annotate the grade difference on the profile parabola, We can use the Item types to build a expression to calculate the grade difference and then use the civil labeler, but this workflow works only if the profile is not comple...

Merge and separate geometry with dependencies from and into multiple DGNs

When you have multiple files with geometry which reference each other, I think there should be a tool to allow you to merge those DGN's into one without losing relationships e.g. I can merge my main alignment file and the file which contains my ch...

Template Display Rules for Null Points

Template Display Rules are very powerful and widely used in corridor modeling workflows. However, Display Rules are only available for components. We would like to extend this functionality to the Null Points. This would open new possibilities for...

Ability to Place a Conduit/Pipe "Without" a Node

Many times, we have conduits/pipes that simply daylight a surface and drain on to the ground or into a pond. Please add the ability to place conduit/pipes "Without" the need of a Node. I understand that we can create a sort of null point/node that...

ORD Profile Crossings -ORD Profile Enhancement

This idea has been submitted as an enhancement for profiles. InRoads, there was functionality to locate crossing features that would plot and annotation the location on the profile. This is a considerable time saver for long projects where many cr...

Disable Point Controls Rather than Delete When Control Can't Be Found

Currently when the control - profile, alignment, feature - can't be found due to a deletion or reference detachment, the corresponding point control(s) is removed from the corridor. Considering that these events may occur inadvertently and not dis...

Enhancement to Introduce the Remapping Capability on Terrain Model’s Source Path

There is currently not a way to remap the terrain model’s source path in ORD. This capability is needed to be able to push survey data updates via rewriting a .tin file to then update from source (sourcing back to the rewritten .tin file with surv...

Add a right click option in the Feature Definition dialogue for "Set Active"

When navigating through all the feature definitions it would be handy to have an option to set the feature to the active definition being used. It's easier many times to navigate through the OpenRoads Standards list to find features than using the...

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...
