Ability to Analyze Elevations in Dynamic Cross Section

Users would like the ability to quickly place a point in the dynamic section view to pull elevation information. It would be nice to have that text remain in place as you move from section to section, similar to the cut/fill volumes between sectio...

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...

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...

Improve Geometry Builder interface

Often Surveyors are responsible for generating exi sting alignments from limited data (in plans or collected in field.) We have identified that using the Geometry Builder can be a "wo rkaround" but it is clunky and there are more steps involved th...

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...

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...

Add point of reverse curvature on reverse parabolic transition

In the Superelevation Editor, being able to add a point of reverse curvature on reverse parabolic transitions will help when trying to manually define/adjust points of 0% cross slope.

Add superelevation point type of "crown removed"

In the Superelevation Editor, adding a "crown removed" option to the Point Type list would help when trying to manually define/adjust anywhere there is 0% cross slope.
