Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...

Quantities of civil elements by named boundary

Long linear elements such as pavement marking and guardrail can be reported on by named boundaries if they are clipped according to the named boundary group. Summary of quantities on plans are often tabulated by sheet. The best methodology for thi...

Retain Observations When Skipping Duplicate Points During Survey Import

During survey traverse workflows that span multiple days, users must import several raw data files into a single field book. Often, points established on a previous day are re-observed as backsights on subsequent days. Currently, the conflict reso...

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 ...

Finite Element Analysis for curved and skewed bridges

Curved and skewed bridges often contain challenging geometric features, such as deck corners, diaphragm/cross-frame connections to girders. In these areas, the software is frequently unable to generate a reliable mesh using only the basic mesh set...

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for drawing model annotation groups, if the user wants to update the annotation, they would need to remove the outdated annotation group, which would removal all annotation groups, and then reapply all annotation groups.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

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...

Slope top abutment cap between seat build-ups option

Some states require the top of the abutment cap to slope away from the backwall while the seat build-up remain level.

Variable Cross slope by station outside of deck limits

Currently is you have a cross slope transition start or end outside the deck limits you have to calculate what the cross slope is at the deck limits. It would be helpful if you could just enter the start and stop station of the transition.
