Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...

Horizontal and vertical geometry - edit vertical elevations/profile in plan view, improve geometry snap rules/constraints.

We have used the horizontal and vertical geometry tools to create terrain models for site design of rest areas. We have found this to be very inefficient and time consuming. For example, the rest areas typically have sidewalks that vary in width, ...

Automatic/batch update of Profile 3D cut

This won't update immediatly when the 3D model is updated. This means that when going to plan production, all profiles needs to be refreshed.

Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Edit snap rules and constraints

Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...

Have the “Open Profile command” work on a selected linear geometry.

Now, if you select a linear entity and then take the open profile model tool,selection is not taken into account: You are aksed to select an entity. That contradicts main function of selection : Selection is typically used to indicate you want to ...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Add a "Description" entry to the Geometry Line Between Points Command

Allows the User to provide a Description for Geometry Lines; it should match the Geometry Point which already has a Description field.
