Improve Civil Analysis to another alignment

Wasn't sure whether to post this to technical support as a bug or here. This is a tiny concern in the greater scheme of things but a frustration nonetheless. Suppose you use civil analysis tool to track a horizontal alignment with an active vertic...

Warn users while detaching references whose labels are annotated in active file

civil labeler allows us to label civil geometry elements from reference files. Simply placing labels appears to apply the civil schema to the active dgn file.User like to have a warning when users detach reference files whose elements are labeled ...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

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...

Better Elevation Thematic Tool for terrains.

It's very hard and troublesome to create elevation countours for cut and fill or layer thickness. The legends values have to be updated by hand for each new terrain. And in the end, it`s actually just a Display Style applied to the terrain or the ...

Surface Template - "Process Corridor" similar tool

Just add the function to process the template again so it can be updated. This is a major issue when using surface templates with clipping boundaries. If I change the clipping boundary (a simple shape on the 2D model), I have to delete and reapply...

Insert Vertex tool

Tool that adds vertex at chosen interval to a selected element segments. The "facet" tool is supposed to achieve this, but it is not designed to respect original element vertexes. So it ends up modifing the element path. The tool should work insid...

Apply cut/fill annotation to surface templates

When creating a cut/fill End Area Volumes table on cross sections, the annotation does not work for surface templates. If there is no corridor in the cross section, it will not even place an EAV Table. The cut/fill EAV tool works and displays the ...

Option to refresh/update/revise geometry point sequencing

When designing different types of sites/pads etc, it is very typical to provide set out points on our drawings. The issue is that designs can change requiring us to remove certain points which will leave a gap in the point sequencing. There needs ...
