Improve retention of user inputs in inlets

Ensure that user-defined inlet values remain consistent and are not overwritten by prototype default values when minor changes are made elsewhere. This would preserve design intent during edits.

Step-by-Step Guidance for Resolving Inlet Issues

Provide step-by-step help or guidance within the software to troubleshoot and fix inlets that display as red dashed. This would help users understand and resolve issues without external support.

Drainage flex tables for referenced drainage models

Having a drainage flex table that can be used for drainage models that are referenced (this could just be physical information: ID, size, material, inverts, etc., and zoom to) would help so much in reviewing designs.

Static Drainage Profiles

Creates drainage profiles that are static (non-dynamic) that are very quick/simple to make (15-seconds), much like SS2 was, to better enable iterative design.

Settings from Design Model should sync all 8 views in the view group

The saved view reference setting "Settings from Design Model" synchronizes the level display (and other settings) from view 1 in the reference file to ALL views in the master file. One efficient method of producing plans is to have a different lev...

Horizontal Geometry tool similar to the Site Layout

Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath. I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and...

Apply Z (elevation) corrections fro residual surface to existing elements without changing X,Y

OpenRoads Designer currently lacks a workflow to apply spatially varying Z corrections derived from a mesh to existing geometry, while preserving the X and Y coordinates. This is helpful for situations like in point‑cloud‑driven workflows, users f...

Allow for an elevation exaggeration in the 3d view/model

Letting users increase and decrease an exaggeration of the elevation data can help visualize drawings when looking from the side or angles.

Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates

Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...
