The Feature Defintion toolbar - a proposal for improving this function
Feature Definition Toolbar
A proposal for improving/expanding this feature
Choosing Feature Definitions is a frequently used feature in OpenRoads Designer. Especially in urban projects, switching between pavement types, curbs, placing signs, s...
Selection of named boundary with different associations
TxDOT likes to see driveway P&P’s side by side on a single sheet (see attached example), and when the workspace didn’t have a sheet seed that accommodated this type of configuration we created one ourselves. The main issue is placing both driv...
Ability to Hide & Isolate all elements belonging to specific Corridors/Linear Templates
In Openbridge you can untick a Bridge in Explorer and it will hide that bridge in both 2d and 3d models. In OpenRoads, this functionality is very much needed for Corridors and Linear templates (similar to what we have for Feature Definitions). We ...

Profile Superelevation annotation based on Crossfall to a Linear feature
For almost all our projects we require very precise crossfall transitioning at tie-ins to existing and situations at ramps where we project crossfall from one carriageway to another. It is not practical for us to report crossfall and copy the valu...
Copy Lines Drawn in Profile Window to Other Profile Window
In order to correctly design Crossovers, profile information needs to be sketched out between profile windows. This is very difficult without the ability to draw lines in a profile window and then copy them to a profile window for another alignment.
So far Openrail designer contains a tool called create 3D cut for profiles. It is very useful when one wants to show cuts from a 3D section across the track. However one can choose only a specific distance from track. There are cases (for example ...
Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins
Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...
New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration
Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...
It is usual request to annotate 3D features on cross sections. At point or in frame. It does work when feature is 2D+3D but not if feature is 3D only. That is commong with existing ground and more and more with modelling using linear features (wit...
