Don't duplicate densification of template drops

When defining model requirements, we want to define the template drop interval and a stroking distance to densify template drops through vertical and horizontal curves. This will insure that models are designed to meet construction standards and s...

Field with station range of named boundary

It would be great if we could create a field (text favorite) that would label the station begin and end of a named boundary for an index of sheets layout.

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Parametric Constraints Labels Stations Overlaps

Is there a way we can see if there is an overlap in the stations in parametric constraints labels? Like in InRoads, it highlights in orange color if there is an overlap in stations with same labels. This will help and save lot of design time, if t...

Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads

This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Ability to use end condition exceptions on linear templates

Being able to use end condition exceptions for linear templates would be extremely beneficial for roadway designers. We often use end condition exceptions to turn off slopes in order to connect external features like ditches to the corridor. Not b...

Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.

Save dialogue window sizes

Many dialogue windows don't open up with the best proportions to see the data and they don't save the proportions after they have been edited. It gets tiring having to edit the proportions of dialogues to see the data as needed every single time I...

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...
