Secondary Alignment End Condition Tie-ins

I’d like to propose an enhancement to how end conditions are resolved when secondary alignments are in use. Currently, when a secondary alignment is applied, end condition tie-in points are only solved at corridor intervals and linearly interpolat...

Add functionality to LBS to handle round variable column definition and analysis/design

Currently, if a bridge is modeled in OBM using variable columns with a round cross-section, that column cannot be accurately transferred to LBS, nor can a variable-round cross-section be defined, analyzed, or designed within LBS. This is a big hol...

Bring back "Create Geometry by Template" command

In the first versions of OpenRoads we had the tool "Create Geometry by Template" which would create ruled geometry from a template . Fast way to for lay out geometry for a project. Not sure why it went away.

LIFT vrs slew report

Hi would be very helpful to get a lift vrs Slew report at set chainages along an alignment. This would help the designer see if they are designing enough lift in the track to achieve the slews, without going to the drawing production stage

Enhance Design Standards to flag gaps in Geometry & apply to Feature Definitions

Additional functionality is needed for Design Standards to be fully functional for project delivery. Some additional thins include: Allow Design Standards to be optionally assigned to Alignment Feature Definitions so Alignments are created with th...

Nodes for multiple barrel conduits

The ability to place a conduit with multiple barrels is very useful. However, there are often scenarios where we are placing a single node on each of the multiple barrels. For example, if I have a twin pipe, we'll often place separate flared-end s...

Support UNC paths and writing a conditional in the OrganizationSetting.cfg file

MnDOT would like to set a network location for the standard libraries. This way every user gets the current design. OpenRoads SignCAD does not currently support UNC paths or writing a conditional in the OrganizationSetting.cfg file. It seems illog...

Civil Labeler - XS Label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point

We need ability to label height difference between centerline and curb or other key-point in our type XS. Or ability to label curb or other key-point height relative to centerline.

End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.

I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

Add profile annotation location option for annotating conduit description only once

If a conduit is perfectly straight, then it is easy to put the description once in the middle, but if the conduit has any bends then each segment gets annotated. Adding an option for annotation frequency with location controls would fix this.
