Retain item type on 3D cells exported from Points Feature Definition
If there is an item type attached to a Point Feature Definition, it is not retained when the Point is exported as a standard 3D MicroStation cell. The metadata is only retained to the 2d element, not the 3d. In the case of a mesh (from a component...
Grid Text Rotated with Tick under Plan Grid Annotation
In Plan Grid annotation, grid texts (northing and easting) can only rotate or oriented with the view of drawing model but NOT able to rotated with the tick mark (+) or grid line.
Provide feedback if annotation changes AFTER QC has been performed
While the rules-based annotation is nice, it also introduces some concerns. Some of our designers are frustrated because they don't know if an element (and thus it's child annotation) has been changed AFTER the annotation has been reviewed. Would ...
Able to convert 2D contour lines to 3D contours for terrain creation; Or directly convert 2D contour lines to 3D terrain. Old product Bentley Architecture has function: Elevated Contour fixed this issue.
If I have a pipe and I need to cut a cross section along the pipe, And that pipe has a bend in it, I can't use the 2 point method, I need one that allows for bends and twists and turns. If the annotation is based on the type/purpose then swapping ...
Allow user to define width of superelevation section graphic.
Currently, the graphic representing the superelevation section is hard coded to use the radius of the smallest curve in the alignment. If the radius of the smallest curve is 50 meters or more, the section width is hard-coded to 50 meters.
If t...
Automatically calculate values when inputting into property fields
When inputting numbers into property fields, ORD can automatically calculate them for you. Example: Survey field team shoots the top of casting elevation of a manhole at 500ft, then shoots again for a bottom invert of the manhole but only leaves a...
When exiting out of file. There are Check In, Updated Server Copy, Free, and Close options. Sometimes we want to cancel. This will speed up our workflow because we don't have to wait to get back into the same file.
There is a setting that can be turned on in Power InRoads V8i that keeps open a “results dialog box” that records all actions completed. It gives very basic information that we save as text file. The text is then imported into a Word document temp...

Future consideration
When stepping through model builder there is an option to set the units that are to be used in the design file; however, when the property is set in the field mappings, it does not automatically default to what was selected on a previous screen. T...
