dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.

Create 3D points from rails when creating regression line from rails

Currently, when one uses the create regression line from rails tool, the points that the program creates are 2D, in other words they contain only X and Y, not Z. It would be nice to create points along with the regression line that contains also i...

Being able to add/remove references that are stored inside cross sectional saved view

Rather than creating a new cross sectional named boundary, it would be convenient for the saved views to synchronize with 3D reference window and level display. There could even be a feature to toggle this feature on and off for a saved view.

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

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.

Deck Elevation at Coping Break Back Points

OBM has the option to create a deck elevation report parallel to start of the support or normal to the alignment. Bentley should include the option to find the elevation and station of the bent traverse line to not intersect with the railing lines...

Quick Horizontal Regression by Slew

The ability to have a tool or a checkbox that lets you run a quick horizontal regression for the alignment that is entirely controlled by the slew value input and not a 'tolerance' value. This would make the quick horizontal regression tool much m...

Stationing Text "View Readable" Setting to Honor Rotated Views

The "View Readable" Setting (SEE IMAGE 1) Should: Display text as readable when looking left up the page when the alignment is at zero degrees as the industry standard ( SEE IMAGE 2)(note that the view is unrotated and North is pointing up) Honor ...

Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.

Horizontal Slew On longsection

This tool currently only works on regression geometry. Sometimes I find myself needing to mix regression and standard geometry. once o make these complex the slews do not show on the long section and i find myself manually typing them in from the ...
