Ability to lock Survey features when reprocessing field book

I made a change to a specific feature and I want to somehow lock the specific feature so it does not change when the field book is reprocessed. Example If I set Terrain Model Attribute of a point to "Do Not Include" then It should stay as that eve...

Add Ability to Create Terrain from Survey in a Reference File

Now that we have to ability to process a survey without having it automatically create a terrain, we would like to be able to use the Create Terrain from Survey command when the Survey is in a Reference File. In order to federate our data, we pref...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN

Measure rail interval similar to Pro Rail extension

In Bentley Rail Track, there was an extension called Pro Rail that allows users to measure the interval between rail dynamically. Right now, we are able to report that using Station-Offset report but we are not able to track it which makes it chal...

Develop and Annotate Partial Geometry

In my experience, it's common to tie a proposed vertical alignment into an existing vertical curve. This can be easily done with the geometry tools. However, the annotation is only drawn to where the proposed geometry terminates. While technically...

Staged Construction Optionality

Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...
