Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally KYT...

Reverse direction of an existing complex element

A tool to reverse the direction of an existing complex element. There is a workaround by complexing the complex element but not an ideal solution.

Coupling between horizontal and vertical regrerssion lines

A very problematic area is the coupling between horizontal and vertical regression analysis. Generally speaking, one must create a horizontal regression line first, create regressed elements, couple them together in a complex geometry and then pro...

Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...

SUDA - Spread Slope

Make it easier to manage longitudinal spread slope. It's nice to input the slope in the properties per node, but consider making it integrated to the gutters used during bypass flow drawing of gutters.

See Coordinates of Objects in Model Space

Say if I had pre-cast units (say rectangular for ease of the idea), you can see the coordinates of the 4 bottom corners (or other named points) of the pre-cast unit if I click on it. This would show up in model space view as shown: https://imgur.c...

Add FGE to Beam Elevation Report

It would be useful to have FGEs in the beam elevation report that correspond to the girder 10th points provided in that report

Create point in profile view

It would be helpful to manually create a point (say via imputing a station and elevation) that is similar to the profile intersection point tool. For example, I want to be above or below a certain point where I am testing a variety vertical curve ...

Annotate intersecting alignment point in cross section

I would like to see OpenRoads have the ability to annotate intersecting alignment on cross sections. The attached images illustrate what I am looking for.

Add the ability to calculate spread on two sides of a median barrier inlet

There are tens of thousands of barrier inlets on barrier medians throughout the US. Spread needs to be calculated on both sides, with the overall flow being added to the storm sewer system. Currently, the only way to do this is to create to halves...
