There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai
n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are
looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.
More options when creating custom diagrammatic arrows
Description: While SignCAD currently supports the creation of diagrammatic arrows with two arrows, there is a growing need for more complex arrow configurations. Users often require diagrammatic arrows with three or more arrows for detailed traffi...
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...
It would be good to have the option to drag the start and end stations of the profile by variable slope from element in the profile window. Similarly as the partial offset tool in plan. At the moment the user needs to update values in the properti...
Retain item type on 3D cells exported from Points Feature Definition
If there is an item type attached to a Point Feature Definition, it is not retained when the Point is exported as a standard 3D MicroStation cell. The metadata is only retained to the 2d element, not the 3d. In the case of a mesh (from a component...
Ability for Corridor Horizontal Parametric Constraints to be applied with Reverse Cubic Curves
In our legacy software we could quickly and easily apply a reverse cubic curve tapers for our designs without having to create Geometry and have our lane edges follow that - noting that the Geometry is not actually the required reverse cubic curva...
Update "Coordinate Grid" tool to allow more options
The "Coordinate Grid" tool needs to be updated to provide more options of the coordinate text placement allowing offsets & rotation etc. There should be, at a minimum, the same amount of control as we had with the InRoads tool "Place Coordinat...
Allow user to define width of superelevation section graphic.
Currently, the graphic representing the superelevation section is hard coded to use the radius of the smallest curve in the alignment. If the radius of the smallest curve is 50 meters or more, the section width is hard-coded to 50 meters.
If t...
Automatically calculate values when inputting into property fields
When inputting numbers into property fields, ORD can automatically calculate them for you. Example: Survey field team shoots the top of casting elevation of a manhole at 500ft, then shoots again for a bottom invert of the manhole but only leaves a...
