Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Model Curves with Radius in OBM

Currently 3D elements that are curved are rendered with a series of line segments. While this might be okay for some applications, it makes the 3D model very unhelpful for plans production (i.e. you cannot dimension radii of curves). We need the c...

Draw railway scheme in the annotation

We need that when writing down the singular points of a railway deviation (P0, P1, P2 and P3), they are joined by straight lines P1 with P2 and P0 with P3. See attached image. In fact, the V8i version did represent the detour scheme. Thank you!

Auto-rotate Annotation and Labels

Suggestion to allow annotation and labels to align with plan named boundaries and sheet file plan views. For example, consider a plan named boundaries shape around a horizontal curve. If you have a separate standalone annotation file, often times,...

Clip 2d geometry same as 3D corridorclip

When a corridor clip is applied, the 2D geometry is not affected by that corridor clip, only the 3d mesh is clipped. I would like an option to choose whether you'd also like to clip the 2D geometry.

Add an Interval button to the Dynamic Cross Sections

Please add an interval setting to dynamic cross sections . This will allow users to control the interval in which to view cross sections. By default the interval matches the corridor density.

Tool to Convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element or a MicroStation Linestring

There should be a one button command to convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element, a MicroStation Linestring, or individual MicroStation lines (User picks what they want). There are ways to accomplish this process now but most in...

Leader Symbols Do Not Rotate option

We have several custom leaders that are circles with symbols contained within them. The issue is the DOT does not want the symbol within the circle to rotate. There should be an option to have the symbol not rotate for a leader as an option in the...

Enhance Annotation Definitions (Add text frame option and associate leader line to text)

Currently when creating/using annotation groups, the annotation definition can place a leader line. But when the annotation is placed the leader line is not associated with the text so if I move the text the leader line does not move with it. Simi...

Improve "Create Terrain from Design Meshes" & "Graphical Filter" tool. Filter by Fence / Shape / Reference Clip / Level Display / Selection Set

When I first saw this tool I was so excited. I could drape the design meshes from top or bottom and create a terrain . Then I started using it and realize the tool may need some improvement because it processes everything in the file or reference ...
