Annotation of High and Low Points for Geometry and other Linears

For now, the annotation of High and Low Points is very limited:# only one Low Point is detected - multiple low points are ignored# its is a linear3D annotation, and snaps on the annotations are not ruled (this intent is to be able to place drainag...

Draw railway scheme in the annotation

We need that when writing down the singular points of a railway deviation (P0, P1, P2 and P3), they are joined by straight lines P1 with P2 and P0 with P3. See attached image. In fact, the V8i version did represent the detour scheme. Thank you!

Have Sight Visibility Lines also created as 2d Geometry so users can visually inspect/present failures

Currently sight distance analysis results are purely 3d extended objects that only offers a limited amount of functionality to determine visually why a failure is occurring. Adding 2d geometry representation to these objects would allow users to p...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...

Auto-increment Geometry point names/numbers

Some users need to be able to assign unique point numbers. So, when creating a new geometry point, the user should be able to type in a starting point name/number (with or without a prefix) and once they place that point, it should automatically a...

Support importing .laz files into a terrain

Please add the support to import an .laz file directly to a terrain. If it ORD can read an laz into a point cloud it seems like a pointless extra step where I have to convert an laz into a pod or las before I can import it into a terrain.

Need to dimension Surface templates.

Need to be able to dimension Surface templ ates in the dynamic cross section view during design as well as XS Drawing Models for plans productions. Could do it in InRoads.

Make it so Item Type Reports respect clipped length/Fence.

Currently, Reports produced with Item Type data do not respect Fences or clipped length. Could Bentley develop a way to get these reports to work with fences? We need a way of reporting quantities for 'dumb' lines with only Item Types attached. Th...
