Invert Terrain Elevation

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

Create Top and Bottom Meshes for Surface Templates

Currently ORD will create a top mesh and bottom mesh when a template is assigned to a corridor. However, when a template is assigned to a design non-corridor terrain, no top or bottom meshes are created. Doing so would be very useful for viewing o...

Ability to Hide & Isolate all elements belonging to specific Corridors/Linear Templates

In Openbridge you can untick a Bridge in Explorer and it will hide that bridge in both 2d and 3d models. In OpenRoads, this functionality is very much needed for Corridors and Linear templates (similar to what we have for Feature Definitions). We ...

Profile Superelevation annotation based on Crossfall to a Linear feature

For almost all our projects we require very precise crossfall transitioning at tie-ins to existing and situations at ramps where we project crossfall from one carriageway to another. It is not practical for us to report crossfall and copy the valu...

Copy Lines Drawn in Profile Window to Other Profile Window

In order to correctly design Crossovers, profile information needs to be sketched out between profile windows. This is very difficult without the ability to draw lines in a profile window and then copy them to a profile window for another alignment.

Add all feature definition types to cross section annotation groups.

Currently, annotation groups are limited to certain feature definition categories. This limits our ability to automatically annotate point features such as signs or geotech borings or drainage/utility nodes. It would be desirable to extract data f...
