3d measure between any to points.

I have used a 3d measure macro in Microstation for 20 years now. I love it. It would be nice to have this feature in ORD . Would be simple to add. The way the tool would work: Users snap between any two points. I dialog would pop up displaying the...

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...

Create a button/command that creates a linked 3D model associated with the active 2D model

When we create a new file we often start with a 2D seed with only one 2D model in it. We often would like to have a linked 3D model associated with that 2D model. It would be great to have a simple button that force creates the linked 3D model.

Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.

This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.

unmerge single point tool in template menu

Currently there is a menu option to unmerge points for components, it would be nice to just unmerge a single point from both components and not all the points.

Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements

The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...

Find and Replace in Template Library

For example I create a template for a given track section, and then copy this and update the point names for the next track. For this I need to go through each point and change just one aspect of the point name. Given itl files are just a text doc...

Replace or swap master survey terrain without losing links or relationships

Replace or swap master survey terrain without losing links or relationships to design elements or other corridors, DGNs etc. I use a complex terrain to achieve this now, it would be nice to have another option

Selective update of annotations

Sometimes it feels totally frustrating to work with annotations in ORD. The problem stems from the dynamic nature of ORD files. Say we have a track where we have done annotations and we took our time to specify their position and adjust them. We h...

Annotation Group Definition Copied to Active File when Used

When labeling civil geometry (alignments for example), whichever annotation group that is utilized is copied from the DNGLIB and saved with the active DGN. This is only the case when the geometry being annotated is stored within the active DGN, no...
