Retain Observations When Skipping Duplicate Points During Survey Import

During survey traverse workflows that span multiple days, users must import several raw data files into a single field book. Often, points established on a previous day are re-observed as backsights on subsequent days. Currently, the conflict reso...

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 ...

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...

Provide the same Leica translator in OpenRoads Designer that was present as a Survey Add-in to InRoads V8i

Provide the same Leica translator in OpenRoads Designer that was present as a Survey Add-in to InRoads V8i, such that a choice of formats when exporting geometry is to export to the Leica DBX format. There is a gap issue in the process to export O...

Inverse Tool - Be able to select fieldbook points and geometry points

There is an “inverse points” tool, but the key in for point numbers doesn’t work for geometry points, only for fieldbook points. Would like the report it created include an interior angle between three points (right now it only has the bearings ...

Upgrade Extract Contour tool to be more like Pass Through Contours tool from InRoads

The following idea is related to the survey tool gap analysis that is already being considered. The Extract Contour tool should be enhanced to place a graphic line at a specific elevation. Currently, you have to change the contour interval of my t...

Add Survey Feature Definitions to Horizontal Feature Constraint Target List

Add the ability to target survey Feature Definitions with Horizontal Feature Constraints on Points within Templates. There is a deliverable required on surveyors to show cross sections of their surveyed surface where sections within the surface ha...

Move Description Separator and Attribute Separator from the Survey Settings to the TIW.

Currently the Description Separator is in the Survey Settings. Description Separator and Attribute Separator should be in the TIW. (Text import wizard). I will like a prompt to set the Description Separator just before you import a file.

Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...

Add traverse adjustment tool for OpenRoads like Inroads V8i used.

A traverse adjustment tool would be useful when needing to balance the error of closure using the option of methods (the compass rule, the transit rule, and the crandall method)
