Ability to have corridor/linear template pivot at end of alignment

Currently when developing a object that is at a skew, whether it be a road, bridge, culvert, or other detail modeling. If the start/end of the object is at a skew compared to the alignment that it is attached to, it is difficult to model. The user...

Search bar for feature definitions

We would like to see a search bar or Filter for Feature Definitions. Our Featue Definitions are numbering in the hundreds if not thousands and as much as we try to organize it in a way that makes sense some are still hard to find.

Add option to find 3D Linear Elements when cutting XS sheets

Right now it seems cutting XS sheets always finds meshes in the 3D model, but it won't find 3D Linear Elements. I can use Linear Templates to make sure everything gets found, but it'd be nice to have a toggle/option when placing the Named Boundaries.

Allow drainage nodes to show up as a cell (catch basin, headwall, end section) in profile view.

Drainage nodes show up in 2D as the cell/feature definition it is designated like an end section. It would be useful if that same feature would show up in the profile view for drainage profiles. It currently works for the "utilities" part of "Drai...

In Dynamic Sections, add width and cross slope for top of components to pop up window when hovering on components.

In SS2 InRoads Roadway Modeler we used to be able to see component slopes and widths in a pop-up window when hovering on components. This allowed us to quickly test that new point controls (or parametric constraints) were working as intended. It's...

Plan Sheet Named Boundary trimmed to fit within Sheet Boundary

When placing plan named boundaries, they do not take into account the sheet extents. In curves the boundaries can extend beyond the sheets. Users then would need to go adjust the named boundaries manually after sheet creation, which then causes ad...

There seems to be a need to Compress or purge out unused OpenRoads Feature Definition, Feature Symbology, Annotation Groups, Annotation Definitions. Compressing out unused "Stuff" in a MicroStation DGN file seem to be a normal function of MicroSta...

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.
