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...

Break decks into sections

Usually, the bridge deck of a precast beam is an integral unit per span. In actual construction, the bridge deck may be constructed in sections for each beam. Is it possible to break the bridge deck into sections for each beam, and further divide ...

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.

Prevent or warn users if someone tries to add a reference file manually to a dynamic section or profile window

Seems that users generally shouldn't be adding plan based reference files to dynamic cross section or profile window design models known as non-indexed models. Would be nice to prevent someone from accidentally doing this and not realizing.

Expand range options of Horizontal Feature Constraints

Horizontal feature constraints are a huge benefit to streamlining corridor modeling and tying design intent to civil geometry. The range options (-, 0, +) are pretty limited and often trigger components to behave improperly. Adding more options to...

In regression anaylsis, move the text off the regression line

I've attached couple of screen shots to get my point across. When I do regression, the regression line is selected and highlights. The slew/lift (depending if its horizontal or vertical reg) are displayed ,but right on the millimeter text is where...
