In the previous Bentley software our DOT used, the software was able to connect the cut and fill lines when transitioning from cut and fill between template drops. Currently the only way that is possible is to have a feature name override on the c...
Enhancement for the Civil Labeling functionality to allow labels to be placed and displayed correctly on 3D cut elements within profile drawing models. Currently, Civil Labels do not recognize or annotate these 3D cuts, limiting the ability to doc...
Native Terrain Contour Extraction tool in ORD similar to GeoPAK's Load DTM Features tool
OpenSite Designer currently displays terrain contours as dynamic, rule-based graphics that remain associated with the terrain model. While this workflow is suitable during design development, some users require permanent contour graphics during dr...
Currently the Node-Connect Pipe Flex Table can report -Pipe- Label, Description, Rise, Inverts (Start & Stop), and Size. It would be useful if the angle of each pipe could also be included. Often in design need to verify a minimum distance bet...
Add "Point" column to the table in the Corridor Objects-Point Control window to show which point is being controlled
As a Highway Designer I want the Corridor Objects-Point Control window to include a column in the table that shows which point is being controlled so that I can sort based on that point name to quickly determine which point controls applied to tha...
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...
Greater flexibility to display vertical geometry on profile sheets
Currently, vertical geometry can ONLY be displayed within the profile model of its parent horizontal alignment. On complex roadway projects, this profile view often contains numerous overlapping elements, such as:
Northbound and southbound PGLs ...
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...
Allow Annotation group 'label' settings to work with D&U
A new annotation filter setting (Label) was introduced in OpenRoads 2025. This setting works well to place callouts for corridor components, however when drainage/utility features are selected, we run into issues as shown below. The callout does n...
Allow Creating Regions/Areas by flood with surveyed elements in a reference file
When creating regions/areas in a design file using the Flood tool, allow ORD to find linework created with survey. This feature was available with surveys created prior to ORD. Right now you need to copy the elements you wish to use as a boundary ...
