expanded temporary dimensioning in dynamic cross section

I would like to be able to use a temporary horizontal dimension on any graphic that shows in my dynamic cross sections. Currently, we are only able to dimension the corridor we selected for xsecs. In my case, I have many adjacent corridors and sit...

Auto-annotate parametric constraints, template transitions, point controls, superelevation

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

Ability to create a 3D ruled element when two gradings cut each other

When two gradings cut each other, for example mine corridor grading and a lateral ramp grading, you can use the Define target aliasing tool to use one of the two gradings as a target for the corridor containing the other grading to obtain the 3d l...

Need to have an option for manual/automatic corridor processing

There is an existing option to deviate rules on a corridor. This is inconvenient and difficult to use because of the workflow associated this it: select A corridor -> deactivate rules, then select A corridor -> enable rules -> process (th...

End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.

I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

Ability to lock Parametric Constraint Start/End to XY or Stations

There are many different situations where users may want Parametric Constraints to be locked to specific stations or XY locations. An additional column in Corridor objects with this option would be very valuable for users to identify and control d...

Bring back Active Chain Control or Similar Tool

In GeoPak, the Active Chain Control tool was very useful for selecting a particular chain or alignment and having the location information (station, offset, etc.) be display in a dialogue box. The location information would live track with the loc...

Don't duplicate densification of template drops

When defining model requirements, we want to define the template drop interval and a stroking distance to densify template drops through vertical and horizontal curves. This will insure that models are designed to meet construction standards and s...

Add Non-Modelled Volumes in Mass Diagram

In ORD 2023 there is no provision for manually adding non-modelled cut or fill volumes to a mass diagram or earthwork report. Manual volumes are typically used for borrowing sites, waste sites, non-modelled bridge embankments and merging models su...
