Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Add Elevations to the Event Point List Table

The elevations of the event point can only be seen when one generated a Horizontal Alignment Event Point List Report. It would be better also if the elevations can be seen earlier in the Event Points List Table

Make the Geometry Copy Element tool clone / duplicate an element with all rules, etc.

Currently the Copy Element tool either fail to copy, copies elements incomplete (with missing Vertical Geometry) or does not reproduce rules as intended. The Geometry Copy Element command should effectively be a cloning tool that copies everything...

Annotate a XS model range

It would be nice to be able to annotate a range of cross sections models instead of one or all.

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

IFC export: 3D line styles and Mesh export

3D line styles are a powerfull tool, but if the ifc can't export it, they don`t mean much in a BIM world. Possibility to export them (barriers, Posts, Signs, ...) is a major breakthrough for OpenRoads/OpenSite BIM capabilities. The same goes for m...

Implement Civil Accudraw for Dynamic Cross Section View

Similar to the plan and profile Civil Accudraw, it would be useful to have a tool to be able to view offset, elevation, and slope in the cross section interface. This is desired in the dynamic cross section view, where users could actively utilize...

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Ability to Delete specific Annotation group instance instead of all instances

Currently users need to remove all annotation per drawing or in all drawings with no control. An additional "Delete Drawing Annotation" with the same options as the annotate drawings one but with an additional "All Drawing Annotation Groups" optio...

Reassign/Reattach Civil Labels

It would be nice to have the ability to reattach civil labels to a new element or terrain. A good example is for jointing/geometric sheets with a lot of spot elevations. Fairly often a new terrain is created and the spots break and need to be repl...
