Analyze Point improvement to display slope in a vertical radius.

It is often necessary to check the slope in a specific point/section of a vertical curve, but this cannot be done right now with the "Analyze Point" tool. No matter where on the alignment I click the slope that displays is the slope of the first v...

Utility Overhead Conduits- Need Vertical Sag

Can the Overhead conduits be set to apply "sag " curves for models in 3D? which means, we will need to include vertical curves when placing them between 2 nodes (eg. poles); In a real world, the conduits typically have some sag, and not as straigh...

Channels Attach to other nodes besides headwall

If ditches do become channel features, KYTC would need channels to then be able to attach to other node types besides headwalls since we have many conditions and locations where they outlet into inlets of various types.

Drainage Civil Labels/Annotation Groups Recognize Applicable Pipe Inverts

Currently, drainage structures require various civil labels to be set up for the various numbers pipe inverts coming into a structure (0-5 possible). It would be beneficial if the civil labels and annotation groups automatically annotated and upda...

Enable hydraulic analysis for referenced files

For large projects, we need the ability to have multiple engineers working on the hydraulic model. We can achieve this by splitting the pipe network into multiple files and creating catchments in separate files. Doing so causes us to lose the abil...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

RM Bridge Envelopes for Shell Forces

I would like to start using RM Bridge with shell elements for transverse analysis, however, I have just found out that currently it does not provide envelope results for shell forces, this is an essential tool for live load transverse analysis.

RM BRIDGE Line Integrals Enhancement

I have tried using the line integrals for shell elements in RM Bridge, but the results are not accurate by around 10%. This is not acceptable. I was told by Ana Carla that the linear integrals results come from Gauss points integration, but I do n...

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...

Add the ability to calculate spread on two sides of a median barrier inlet

There are tens of thousands of barrier inlets on barrier medians throughout the US. Spread needs to be calculated on both sides, with the overall flow being added to the storm sewer system. Currently, the only way to do this is to create to halves...
