Create corridor from reference feature

Our current standard workflow for roadway corridor modeling is to create a pavement corridor then a corridor for each end condition Rt and Lt. I have seen many others including some Bentley folks use this method. It would be big time saver to have...

Create corridor without vertical

Having the ability to create a corridor without needing a vertical can be helpful when a project involves widening. With widening, I wouldn't need a profile along the CL, but instead it would be along the EOP. Point controls can be used to attach ...

Geometry - Copy Chain Parallel Command

There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.

Bring back Active Chain Control or Similar Tool

In GeoPak, the Active Chain Control tool was very useful for selecting a particular chain or alignment and having the location information (station, offset, etc.) be display in a dialogue box. The location information would live track with the loc...

Graphically edit the profile by variable slope

It would be good to have the option to drag the start and end stations of the profile by variable slope from element in the profile window. Similarly as the partial offset tool in plan. At the moment the user needs to update values in the properti...

Retain item type on 3D cells exported from Points Feature Definition

If there is an item type attached to a Point Feature Definition, it is not retained when the Point is exported as a standard 3D MicroStation cell. The metadata is only retained to the 2d element, not the 3d. In the case of a mesh (from a component...

Update "Coordinate Grid" tool to allow more options

The "Coordinate Grid" tool needs to be updated to provide more options of the coordinate text placement allowing offsets & rotation etc. There should be, at a minimum, the same amount of control as we had with the InRoads tool "Place Coordinat...

Allow user to define width of superelevation section graphic.

Currently, the graphic representing the superelevation section is hard coded to use the radius of the smallest curve in the alignment. If the radius of the smallest curve is 50 meters or more, the section width is hard-coded to 50 meters. If t...

Automatically calculate values when inputting into property fields

When inputting numbers into property fields, ORD can automatically calculate them for you. Example: Survey field team shoots the top of casting elevation of a manhole at 500ft, then shoots again for a bottom invert of the manhole but only leaves a...
