Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Add option for rounding corners when using the "Geometry Offsets and Tapers" Tool

With regular MicroStation lines, when using the "move parallel" tool (Offset), there is an option to choose "Round" which creates rounded corners for the offset line. There should be a similar option when using the ORD Tool "Offsets and Tapers." C...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...
