Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads
This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Ability to use end condition exceptions on linear templates
Being able to use end condition exceptions for linear templates would be extremely beneficial for roadway designers. We often use end condition exceptions to turn off slopes in order to connect external features like ditches to the corridor. Not b...
Add Trim/Extend Arrow Handle For Editing Generated linework (slope toes) From Create 3D By Slope To Target Tool
When using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target Tool " the only way to Trim/Extend the resulting linework is to manipulate the start/stop station which is very cumbersome. It would be much more intuitive if a Trim/Extend arrow head (similar to geomet...
Rm Bridge: Use local axis for leading envelope displacements when local axis results are being reported
When reporting envelope .sup files, the leading value when reporting displacements is always global, while the results displayed are either local or gobal (selected by the user). This is inconvenient for displacement envelope result reporting when...
Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...
Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve
As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.
Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment
Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...
Ensure that user-defined inlet values remain consistent and are not overwritten by prototype default values when minor changes are made elsewhere. This would preserve design intent during edits.
Provide step-by-step help or guidance within the software to troubleshoot and fix inlets that display as red dashed. This would help users understand and resolve issues without external support.
Drainage flex tables for referenced drainage models
Having a drainage flex table that can be used for drainage models that are referenced (this could just be physical information: ID, size, material, inverts, etc., and zoom to) would help so much in reviewing designs.
