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 ...

Please fix the Standards in OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition to not copy to the individual dgn files in the project.

On very large projects with hundreds of people working on the project and you need to change a standard you should not have to go thru all of the dgns in the project to update or purge old standards. Most of the time the standards evolve as the pr...

feature definition - browser all element that used a specific feature definition

Get a list of elements using a specific feature definition. Similar to level usage. This "select by graphic filter" filter only feature type that compose a terrain model.

Add an ExtendLine Code to Survey

This code would be similar to the DIST command, except it would allow the crews to add a taped distance to the last segment of a figure, which would extend that segment by that value. It would be similar to a DIST commend except instead of turning...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...

Add Extend Arc Code to Survey (as in InRoads Survey)

This code was found to be very useful in InRoads Survey and without it, we need to retrain the crews to change their workflows.

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...

Add WorkSet-wide project components to Explorer

It would be extremely useful to be able to have a list of all the project components in a WorkSet easily accessible from the explorer, regardless of what dgn you are in. Exactly like the sheet index tool but for terrain models, alignments, corrido...

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...

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...
