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...

Contouring at specific elevations and export

With projects needing a variety of contours at specific elevations and not simply intervals, we need a way to easily display and then export specific contours with labels as line strings.

Dynamic Tables

For the geometry review; setting out or other OpenRoads/OpenRail tables, if we can place the table/report into DGN design model, once the geometry or model is updated, the values of the table placed in the design model is also updated dynamic. sim...

Allow Vertical Geometry Stationing (Profile Annotations) to Reflect Correct Horizontal Chord Definition Stationing

This would be useful for designers working on a project in which chord definition is the client's standard. Currently OpenRail does not correctly annotate the stationing in our profile sheets. The stationing displayed by OpenRail is correct in arc...

Configuration variable to control default path for .tiw files

When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.

Civil arc defined by 3 tangent points

Something very useful in MicroStation and AutoCAD is the ability to define an arc by 3 tangent points. The elements could be of any type and each point would belong to a different element.

Make profile active without opening profile view

It would be useful if some of the profile tools (quick profile from surface, profile from surface, etc) had a toggle to allow the profile to be set as active when it is created. This would make it more efficient in cases like when you need to crea...

GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...

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 ...
