Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.

An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...

Point Table using MicroStation Table Styles

This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...

Move complex alignment

I would like the ability to move a complex alignment without breaking any alignment relationships or losing the profile. This way I can keep any elements that are associated with the alignment intact, just moved to a new location with the alignment.

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Lock stationing to an XY coordinate.

As an MX user, we had the ability to lock stationing to an xy coordinate in an alignment. Please add this ability in ORD. An example use would be as follows: the user has a complex horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and wants to append a ta...

Parent -child relationship for polygon elements.

For RW acquisition. Item types would be inherent from the parent polygon and the ability to subtract area from Parent area to child area. Similar to a parcel element in Geopak.

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

Report comparing geometry to adjusted geometry in the geometry builder.

Report comparing geometry before adjustment to adjusted geometry (Compass, Transit and Crandall) in the geometry builder. This report would need to be retained to document how a geometry element was adjusted. The report would need to show the amou...

Geometric "intervals" (remove or hide)

When you are working with design you shouldn´t need to think about whether the elements you see on the screen are "real elements" or "intervals" - and it´s not so easy for the user to control if the program creates one or the other when you work. ...
