Creating a fence to filter the elements to be considered for graphical filter

Currently, Graphical Filter will use all elements in the DGN to create the terrain based on the filter created. However, in certain cases, that might not be ideal as we may not need the entire terrain model to be created. As such, having the abili...

Reference property with copyable ECExpression

We'd like the "Reference" property from the screen capture to be a copyable ECExpression to use in Item Types. As it stands, there's no way to use this property.

Regression: add "Add to Complex" and "Remove from Complex" tools

In our regression workflow using OpenRoads Designer, we are very reliant on the "Undo" button to remove a segment from the complex alignment being drawn in when the solution isn't working and we need to back up and start again. This happens freque...

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...

Annotating and Labelling Intersecting Alignment Stationing in Cross Sections

Annotating and labeling cross sections within ORD is missing the functionality to label the stationing of intersecting alignments shown on roadway cross sections. While feature names (alignment names) and elevations of intersecting alignments can ...

Ability to Update Annotation Groups

Currently for drawing model annotation groups, if the user wants to update the annotation, they would need to remove the outdated annotation group, which would removal all annotation groups, and then reapply all annotation groups. It would be nice...

Vertical geometry name to default to the horizontal geometry name

When I am doing feature modeling, such as intersections, I am creating a lot of features and profiles. I like things to have names so that I can easily identify them. In the workspace I am provided, the vertical geometry created for any given hori...

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...
