Place Cross Section Named Boundary/Create Drawing - round top grid to nearest major interval

When creating cross sections, the user would like the option to round the top grid line to the nearest major interval. Currently, when creating cross sections, the top grid line (top of named boundary) is always the top elevation plus top clearanc...

Plan/Profile Sheets - Center Justify Clip Boundary

Right now in our plan and profile drawing seed files, we can only anchor a clip boundary from its left-most point. This works if users always place the same linear distance on each sheet, but if the user wants to vary the project length shown on e...

Annotate component quantities on cross sections

We need the ability to annotate component quantities on cross sections like you can the cut/fill volumes. Information could be pulled from the Quantities Report by Named Boundary.

Make it possible to apply various symbology on one alignment

Many times an alignment is partly existing and partly new or changed. In the drawings this should be shown with different symbology and annotation, something that is not easy in ORD. A tool that can do this would be very useful!

Named Key Station

Key Station is defined as a station of an alignment, and additional information can't be added. I think it would be great to able to assign a name to the Key Station and use this name in the other modelling that requires station inputs. This will ...

Automate the creation of plan-plan sheets with different views of the same station range.

We often do sheets where the same station range is shown, plan on top and bottom, but they have different information. For instance, the top plan view might be a staking overview where the bottom plan might be a jointing diagram. Both have the sam...

Unable to report on Geometric Points direction relative to an Alignment.

In OpenRail Designer, unable to output the direction information when comparing geometry points to a baseline alignment. In Bentley Rail Track we were able to create clearance reports that included the direction. It appears OpenRailDesigner's repo...

Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...

Export model data in a way that Tremble Surveying can use it.

NCOT is basically paying for the roadway design 3 times. We have a design unit or PEF do the main design. When the contract is awarded, the Contractor building it, if they need a model for machine grading, they hire someone to make that model for ...
