Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Plan-Profile-Profile drawing/sheet creation with named boundaries

Plan-Profile[LT]-Profile[RT] (and Profile[LT]-Profile[RT]) sheet creation for LT/RT split/bifurcated profile grade lines has been requested more frequently by our internal designers and our consultant designers. We have a workflow that can accompl...

Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.

It would be extremely helpful, if we were able to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies so that automation of the creation of new 'Custom Drainage Features' every time a drainage structure had a different bottom box (...

import parcels, survey chains, lines, curves, spirals from GPK

Since GEOPAK is no longer supported. I have heard from Bentley time and time again that we can get to our data out of the GPK and import it into ORD. BUT this is only true for chains, profiles and points. What about Parcels? survey chains? lines? ...

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection b...

Ability to Update Annotation Groups

Currently for drawing model annotation groups, if the user wants to update the annotation, they would need to remove the outdated annotation group, which would removal all annotation groups, and then reapply all annotation groups. It would be nice...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.

Re-introduce "Connect element" from Power RailTrack

In Power RailTrack and before that in Inrail there was a tool called something like "connect element" or something quite similar. What it did was to connect an element belonging to the alignment but was not in its correct location to the alignment...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...
