Export Field Book data with Observations AND Attributes

I process survey data for the Maine Department of Transportation. We have been transitioning from InRoads to OpenRoads for about a year now and are currently testing OpenRoads Designer 2023. We really need a way to export edited Field Book data wi...

Chevron Pavement Marking Tool

This tool would replace the old Geopak tool that created chevrons with minimal effort. It's certainly possible to create chevrons by hand with the current tools, but it takes significantly more time for what was a pretty quick task. I think the ol...

Add skewed cross sections to Event Point Lists

Would be helpful to cut cross sections at an angle (i.e at a skewed culvert) similar to the custom cross section in InRoads.

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Plan Sheet Named Boundary trimmed to fit within Sheet Boundary

When placing plan named boundaries, they do not take into account the sheet extents. In curves the boundaries can extend beyond the sheets. Users then would need to go adjust the named boundaries manually after sheet creation, which then causes ad...

Enhancement::Additional Tool for Design of Cross over connection between Tangent & Canted Tracks

I suggest improvements to Bentley OpenRail Designer for handling Cross over connections in the following scenarios: Cross over Between Adjacent Tangent Tracks: Enable a simple geometric connection between two parallel tracks without the use of Geo...

Improve Civil Analysis to another alignment

Wasn't sure whether to post this to technical support as a bug or here. This is a tiny concern in the greater scheme of things but a frustration nonetheless. Suppose you use civil analysis tool to track a horizontal alignment with an active vertic...

Ability to define non-uniform cross section named boundaries

The ability to define the location and width of cross section named boundaries that are not uniform along the length of the project. For example, regular sections might be 500 feet wide but some areas require wider sections for ramps, side roads, ...

XSLT 2.0 Support - Civil Reports

Who would like to have more capable Civil Reports? Currently, OpenRoads Designer relies on the XSLT 1.0 Transformation Language for generating Civil Reports. This language was published in 1999, now 24 years ago. In 2009, a much more full-featured...

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...
