Add custom line style automation for pipes in Drainage & Utilities
There is currently no way to utilize multiple custom line styles (or element templates) for pipes in plan view for Drainage and Utilities so that they are tied to the drainage property and will update to the correct line style if the pipe size cha...
Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book
Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)
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...
This would be useful for designers working on a project in which chord definition is the client's standard. Currently OpenRail does not correctly annotate the stationing in our profile sheets. The stationing displayed by OpenRail is correct in arc...

When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...

Civil Labeler - XS Label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point
We need ability to label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point in our type XS. Or ability to label curb or other key-point height relative to centerline.
The existing Annotation settings offer a plan readability setting to invert text if it would otherwise appear upside down. This appears to be tied to design file orientation. For this to really be useful, it needs to function according to the fina...
End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.
I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

If profiles lived in a physical space that you could get to then you would be able to replace a profile without breaking references and creating a ton of rework. That is what we did in Inroads and it worked great. Now we are forced to use drawings...
