Have the “Open Profile command” work on a selected linear geometry.

Now, if you select a linear entity and then take the open profile model tool,selection is not taken into account: You are aksed to select an entity. That contradicts main function of selection : Selection is typically used to indicate you want to ...

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...

Default Alignment Start Stationing

Include an ability to have a default Start Stationing for an alignment. It would save time (and improve consistency) for several of our alignments where we'd like the default stationing set at 10+00. I imagine many other users could appreciate thi...

Adding Japanese Cubic Parabola

OpenRail Designer seems to have Japanese Sine spiral type added from the formula used in Power RailTrack. However, there seems to be nothing similar to Japanese Cubic Parabola, which is based on a different formula from Japanese Sine.

Add a "Description" entry to the Geometry Line Between Points Command

Allows the User to provide a Description for Geometry Lines; it should match the Geometry Point which already has a Description field.

Move IP to change vertical alignments

Editing the location of an intersection point by just clicking and moving it was possible in PowerRail track - can we have that functionality back as it's a good tool to quickly see changes in alignment when optioneering.

horizontal regression for points

in Inroads there was an option to select points to put in regression in geometry to create a best fit alignment. You could then do a single element regression analysis afterwards and it would give you the best fit line and how far in either direct...

Project Geometry Using Active Feature Definition

When projecting various 2d geometry or 3d linear geometry the user is first required to set the active feature definition in the feature definition toolbar so that the project geometry shows up on the correct level, ect. It would speed things up i...

Cell in GC will have additional properties for IFC

Placed cells with Generative components on alignment which have assigned item types as additional properties. Those properties will be later exported to IFC. Now the additional properties are not shown in GC only in ORD.

Vertical profile offset and snaps

ORD to allow vertical profile offset tool to snap to CAD lines. When alignments change horizontally, profile offsets do not retain snaps to features including CAD lines.
