Disable Point Controls Rather than Delete When Control Can't Be Found

Currently when the control - profile, alignment, feature - can't be found due to a deletion or reference detachment, the corresponding point control(s) is removed from the corridor. Considering that these events may occur inadvertently and not dis...

Clip 2d geometry same as 3D corridorclip

When a corridor clip is applied, the 2D geometry is not affected by that corridor clip, only the 3d mesh is clipped. I would like an option to choose whether you'd also like to clip the 2D geometry.

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Patch Product More Often

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

Allow Parametric Constraints to Override Rollover Slope

As an OpenRoads Designer user, I want parametric constraints to be allowed to override Rollover slopes to make it easier to apply constraints to the corridor and template models.

Create Geometry from Points Tool

A tool that would allow the user to input, either manually or via CSV (or other import method), an array of points that can be used to create horizontal geometry or drawing strings, and be able to edit said points. This would operate almost the sa...

Tool for moving multiple nodes at the same time

A tool to move multiple nodes at the same time is needed in ORD as such tool or functionality was not observed with ORD. This is helpful for situations where the nodes will be offset by a certain distance due to the buildings or other constraints ...

Need 'Remove Loops' functionality to remove overlapping components/features (or 'bowties') in interior corners

Loops from end conditions are created. InRoads had a remove loops check box to prevent this, and we would like a similar feature added into ORD.

Ability to extend profile runs

I would like the ability to control the limits of the profile run in profile sheets which would also allow me to control the stationing without having to create a separate alignment and project the drainage run into the separate alignment.

Migration Utilities .exe's to be updated

Currently, the Migration Utilities suite of .exe files was created for 2020 R3 release of OpenRail Designer (ORD). In earlier versions of ORD, the linear and profile symbology were linked closely together, in later version of ORD (>2022) the sy...
