Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

MVD is not defined when exported to IFC

In IFC Export, there is NO Model View Definition in exported IFC.

Text file input for beam layouts and bridge geometry or bgs input

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

Use Annotation Groups to add Hatching / Pattern elements and Dimension Elements

We have several sheets where we want certain lines that have specific feature definitions to have a dimension on the plans. We also have several shapes that we always want to show hatching or patterns appearing on the plans. Right now we have to m...

Simplifying Retaining Wall Construction: A Wingwall-Inspired Approach for Bridge Design

When the bridge needs a long “wingwall”, it break two part – a wingwall which is built with the abutment, and the rest part I call it “Retaining wall”. Is it possibly to make this retaining wall as easy as wingwall? That means like put the wingwal...

Adjust bearing vertically

In order for the place bearing tool to work for as many instances as possible, we either need to be able to adjust the bearing's vertical location due to shim plate placement on an individual basis or else allow for different cells to be used at t...

Import Item Type Values

Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...

Expression Math Function Roundup / Ceiling math

It is known that processing slows when using nested IIF statements. In order to simplify the expressions functions for Roundup and Increments for Ceiling.Math with are needed. Roundup function with a precision Roundup(100.03,1) = 100.1 math functi...
