Corridor Modeling for 90 degrees corners

In modeling the road or site with geometry corner in 90 degrees or sharp, the small arc of corner is required in order to model the round corner. So that no overlap between 3d linear geometry. Software should provide the option to allow the corner...

Ability to plot CPT data in OpenRoads from OpenGround

Our partner Dataforensics has a project with an OpenGround user, HDR where they need to plot borehole data and CPT data in OpenRoads. Seems like they were able to do this in Civil3D but are now using ORD and want to do the same as the attached

Rules between reference files

Indicate in the reference manager if Civil Rules exist between files. When attempting to create a snap rule to an element that is in a reference file display a warning message. Prevent circular reference errors created by snap rules between refere...

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

Use 3D Element Elevation when using Edit Terrain > Insert Vertex

When inserting a vertex on a terrain using the edit tools, the vertex is put at 0 elevation (if outside the terrain) and at the terrain elevation (if inside the terrain) even if you snap to a 3D element. The current workaround requires moving the ...

Add a position tick mark to the Survey Decorators

Inroads allowed the user to toggle a tick mark, such as a plus symbol (+), to show the position of any survey point in the fieldbook. Very useful. ORD allows the toggling of many different attributes of a point by using Survey Decorators. Please a...

Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.

An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...

Publish a complete list of version numbers

Users who can't access the Software Downloads page cannot see the combined version/release numbers of available software packages. They can only see the release numbers on the product documentation pages, but cannot see the associated version numb...

DU: Only modelling workflow

When starting a DU, OpenRoads creates a whole DU project inside the file and brings a lot of hidroly/hidraulic properties with it. That's fine if the goal is to run an analysis. But what if I just want to model a whole network and never run it? Di...
