Existing Cant

Currently in ORD existing cant can only either be viewed graphically in the curvature diagram or from within the cant editor. Current workflows to annotate existing cant in profile require the projection of both left and right rails in the vertica...

Volumetric Meshes created as Scalable Meshes

For large scale projects, earthwork volumetric meshes cause considerable deficits in navigation performance due to the high count of vertices and faces to be calculated with each navigational operation. Use of scalable meshes for these components ...

Include column and shaft controlling service loads (RCPIER/LEAP)

When designing drilled shafts, there is no option to display controlling shear and moment loads (bottom of column). This is needed for the geotechnical engineer on designing th drilled shaft. For column design, it is sometime useful to also show c...

Template (ITL): add parameters for component length, spacing and individual

It could be useful for different purposes to be able to create component meshes of defined length (construction, pre cast slab). I suggest to add at least 3 parameters to any component: length of the component: the question is then, where to measu...

Civil Labeler - Add ability to use in Sheet Model

Please add the option to use Civil Labeler in sheet models. For some sheets, there is no readily-apparent need to create a drawing model (e.g. for schematic-type drawings with no dimensions), so we only create a sheet model. Unfortunately, this pr...

Provide a list of Outdated Cached References

If a drainage profile uses a cached view rather than a dynamic one, ORD will provide a notification in the bottom right-hand corner that simply says "Cached References are currently displayed. One or more cached references does not match the curre...

Add ability for Overlay/Stripping Top to follow the lowest between component and terrain.

We often need to provide volumes of additional excavation for substandard subgrade material to a certain depth. The easiest way to get this is through the Milling and Stripping functionality. You set the bottom of the component thickness and have ...

Allow Civil Labeler to work with regular MicroStation Smartlines

Currently, Civil Labeler is limited to ORD Geometry/Elements etc. but sometimes we have regular linework drawn as basic MicroStation smartlines in which we need to call out Coordinates and Elevations. Civil Labeler should have the ability to do this.

Option to overwrite Saved views when reprocessing named boundaries to sheets

Allow a checkbox to choose to overwrite or replace existing saved views when re-processing a set of named boundaries for output to sheets. This will help to maintain order in the files and avoid excess unused items. If not creating another 'versio...

Improve Civil Labeler placement workflow

When placing a civil labeler, the text displays the field formula and that usually is some big text. The leader placement preview takes this enormous text in consideration and 99% of the times the placement we get is off from the desired, because ...
