Ignore Specific Survey Observations

InRoads had the ability to ignore specific survey observations. If ORD had that same capability that would be fantastic.

Live Element Annotation in Drawing Models via Annotation Groups

There can be a lot of instances on a project where a detail in a section is not practical to model 3D, and the user feels compelled draw the element live in the drawing model. It would be great to capture live elements with annotation groups, as t...

Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Corridor element override

End condition override tool allows edits to part of the template for a selected station range in plan view, but the tool only works with end condition components. Update the tool to allow overriding any component or part of the template.

Restore a tool similar to the removed "Asset Manager"

in the new ORailD / ORD we removed the "Asset Manager" tool; in my opinion this tool is useful for several workflow to assign Item types values from an external souce like Excel and avoid the manual attribution of the Item Values.

Parametric rebar cages

Bridge engineering would greatly benefit from having rebar cages that are parametric in nature so we do not need to start over on rebar when a design change occurs.

Move "Standard Signs" icon from "Panel" group to "Place" group in ribbon.

In the OpenRoads SignCAD 2023 ribbon, move the "Standard Signs" icon from the Panels group to the Place group. The "Standard Signs" icon is used for placement of complete signs, rather than panel placement, making the Place group a much more intui...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

If the start element is deleted the remaining part of the alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept with the result that all remaining element moves. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead is needed - in PRT this was po...
