Annotate the flow direction of a ditch in cross section drawing model.
Ability to annotate the flow direction of a ditch using an annotation group within a cross section drawing model. Currently the annotation exists only for plan view (See communities post here ). In Geopak we had a workflow to accomplish this task,...
When using display rules Type it would be useful to have an option of values between A-B, not only >, = , and >=. This way you can choose between multiple versions of a component. Example absolute horizontal 0-1 Curb type F, 1-2 type A, 2-3 ...
This tool would replace the old Geopak tool that created chevrons with minimal effort. It's certainly possible to create chevrons by hand with the current tools, but it takes significantly more time for what was a pretty quick task. I think the ol...
Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points
For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...
Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.
This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.
Currently there is a menu option to unmerge points for components, it would be nice to just unmerge a single point from both components and not all the points.
Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements
The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...
Allow Annotation Groups to use "Place Text Along" from MicroStation
For a plan annotation group, the ability for annotation text on arcs/curves and spirals/transitions to be placed to follow the geometry centreline curvature. The present options only allow the text to be placed as a tangential/perpendicular straig...
When placing a civil labeler, the text displays the field formula and that usually is some big text. The leader placement preview takes this enormous text in consideration and 99% of the times the placement we get is off from the desired, because ...
Who would like to have more capable Civil Reports? Currently, OpenRoads Designer relies on the XSLT 1.0 Transformation Language for generating Civil Reports. This language was published in 1999, now 24 years ago. In 2009, a much more full-featured...
