Radial line of sight - Along alignment for visual intrusion checks

The new feature in 2022 R3 with the line of sight/ Radial sight check is good for a single check, but being able to run the radial tool along an alignment at set intervals to be able to check for visual intrusion. This will be a great design aid i...

Add minimum vertical clearance results to delta surface tool

After creating the delta surface, we could not determine the location of minimum vertical clearance. We tried the analyze surface tool and it showed us coordinates of the min/max locations. However, the locations were outside of the delta surface....

Allow for an elevation exaggeration in the 3d view/model

Letting users increase and decrease an exaggeration of the elevation data can help visualize drawings when looking from the side or angles.

Ability to control segment length when triangulating.

We are currently not able to change segment length when triangulating surface. In SS2, you can define a segment length when triangulating a surface, but we cannot find this option in the OpenRoads application. There is a Survey stroking variable, ...

Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads

This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

Flood Volumes - Surface analysis between three surfaces

It would be beneficial to have the ability to specify surface math logic - Above Existing, Below Proposed, and Below "Floodplain" (variable plane) to get good floodplain volumes.

Item Type Expression that References a Terrain

Similar to the new Station/Offset Expressions, it would be great to query a terrain in an item type on an element and return the elevation. It would be used primarily for point cells, but I could also see it being useful for linework.

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.
