ORD SUDA - drainage profile view

Currently when profiling a Utility (nodes and conduits), the lines on the nodes and conduits are "closed". Old Inroads Storm/Sanitary had open connections. Agency we submit the plans want us to show that connection as open. Only option at the mome...

Combining Properties Menus

It would be super helpful if I didn't have to search two different property menus for where to change specific properties. If the general properties menu and the ORD DU properties menu could be more centralized into one properties menu, this would...

Name Changing Per Drainage Structure

When naming nodes, we usually associate that node name with the conduit, drainage area, and gutter name. But, if we have to update the node name (ex: 0401 to 0405), then we have to change all the other names manually. User is looking for possibili...

Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.

Provide a list of Outdated Cached References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...

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...

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...

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Enhancement to Group/Join Multiple Nodes in a Structure Node to Match Existing Survey Data

There is currently not a way to join/group multiple nodes to a structure node to match existing survey data. This node join/group capability is needed to match XYZ surveyed invert points (from field collection) and be able to use the Extract from ...
