Civil arc defined by 3 tangent points

Something very useful in MicroStation and AutoCAD is the ability to define an arc by 3 tangent points. The elements could be of any type and each point would belong to a different element.

Notification/warning if alignment doesn't have active profile.

If an aligmment has a vertical profile, can we please ensure that it's active. The profile creation process is labourious in this software, and to find out that your profiles are empty at the end of this process as there weren't active isn't great...

Inserting the actual profile of reference adjacent profile

This is a missing feature on the Project Profile to Element as it is only accurate when two elements are actually parallel. We need some feature that will instantly copy/insert the profile of the adjacent element which is usually a reference dgn. ...

Static grid in profile view

I would like to have possibility to turn on static grid in geometry profile view. Something like the ability to set the main grid and minor grid intervals in the geometry profile view in the same way like it is done in drawings and sheets and make...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

Regression: add a "Remove regression points" command both for H and V regression line

We can add points to regression line but we can't remove points from regression line.We can ignore but it is not good management especially if you added a wrong point to the regression line that must be added to another regression line. Because th...

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.

Auto-increment Geometry point names/numbers

Some users need to be able to assign unique point numbers. So, when creating a new geometry point, the user should be able to type in a starting point name/number (with or without a prefix) and once they place that point, it should automatically a...

Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.
