Feature Lines Similar to Civil 3D

It would be nice to be able to graphically change elevation and slope of an element similar to feature lines in Civil 3D. Made it really quick to create break lines and grade areas without have to go into a profile view and create a vertical profi...

Existing terrain element concept and modifiers

Vectorworks Landscape, Revit 2024 or Virtual Surveyor (a drone photogrammetry software) treat existing terrain in a extremely effective way, but all of them lack the volumes and tools from OpenRoads. What they do is genarating a solid from the exi...

Add ability for Overlay/Stripping Top to follow the lowest between component and terrain.

We often need to provide volumes of additional excavation for substandard subgrade material to a certain depth. The easiest way to get this is through the Milling and Stripping functionality. You set the bottom of the component thickness and have ...

Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...

Parametric Constraints Labels Stations Overlaps

Is there a way we can see if there is an overlap in the stations in parametric constraints labels? Like in InRoads, it highlights in orange color if there is an overlap in stations with same labels. This will help and save lot of design time, if t...

civil cell variables with expressions and variations

When we create parametric cells, we are able to use expressions to calculate values based on inputs, and in the properties of the cell, each of the variables (listed as visible) are shown, and you can adjust the cell from there. You can also creat...

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...

GenerativeComponents - Feature Definition tool Node

Special Node/Option for Full recognition (reading civil information) and creation of Feature Definitions in GenerativeComponents. GC & Civil Packages would benefit greatly if we could automate the creation of Civil Lines (2D/3D) for subsequen...

GenerativeComponents - Alignment Node

Special Node/Option for Full recognition/utilisation of Alignment in GenerativeComponents. Since GC made it's entry into Civil products, it is vital that it gets tools (Node/-s) vital for closer cooperation with Civil Packages who make us of Align...
