Geometry Replacer needs to include Vertical geometry

The horizontal Geometry Replacer tool is a step in the right direction, but it needs to include support for replacing profiles as well or have a companion tool of some kind.

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

Add Conduit To Existing Profile Run

It would be very helpful if there was a way to simply Add a Conduit to an existing Profile Run. For example, I have a storm network modeled and a bunch of drawings created by using a Profile Run, but now I needed to add another conduit at the end ...

Highlight selected objects through Project Explorer

Want: Objects in model would highlight when selected through the project explorer Why: if you have multiple objects say terrains, and you need to modify them, it would be very helpful to see them highlighted through the project explorer. Often tim...

Surface Template - Vertical offset

When working on sites and parking lot, sometimes we create a grading terrain to construct the slopes and low points than apply to it the pavement surface template. To model the sidewalks (think of a parking lot island) we create a clipped terrain ...

Offset Horizontal Regression from Points

The ability to use an offset to create a single line alignment based on a regression line that was created by points. This ability would allow the user to create a centerline alignment based on monuments/survey points located a specified distance ...

Plan/Profile Sheets - Center Justify Clip Boundary

Right now in our plan and profile drawing seed files, we can only anchor a clip boundary from its left-most point. This works if users always place the same linear distance on each sheet, but if the user wants to vary the project length shown on e...

Modify Element (Trim/Extent)

I would ensure that my vertical and horizontal alignments are the same length by using the Trim/Extend buttonn in geomtery editior in Power Rail Track - can we have the same functionility in ORD please? I know I can snap vertical alignment to the ...

Add some kind of optimization setting for "existing ground terrain contour display" to improve performance

We really need some kind of optimization setting available which will improve the performance of OpenRoads when Existing Ground Terrain Contours are Displayed. I believe this setting in Civil 3D is called "Level of Detail" or something. The proble...
