    Add The Ability to use a Fence and Regular MicroStation Shapes as a Boundary When Using The "Analyze Volume" Tool

    Currently, the "Analyze Volume" tool "Only" allows you to use an ORD Geometry Shape for a boundary. It would be much more useful and intuitive if we could also use a fence and/or a regular MicroStation shape for a boundary as well like you could w...

    Update the Minnesota M1-6M, M1-6a and M1-X4 county shields for 3-digits

    MnDOT wants to start using wider 3-digit sizes (22.5"x18", 30"x24" & 45"x36") for some of the county shields within the Minnesota standard in OpenRoads SignCAD. The wider 3-digit sizes are needed for the M1-6M and M1-6a blue pentagon county sh...

    Compare real data from a tunnel with its theoretical corridor

    Hello. We're building a tunnel and need OpenTunnel to be able to compare the actual data from the constructed tunnel (recorded via scanning) with the theoretical data from the designed tunnel corridor. There are other programs that do this: Istram...

    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...

    Edit Begin and End Support for Deck and Beam Groups

    Let's say there are 4 spans and the user defines a bridge with 5 supports and the deck and beam groups run from support 1 to support 5. Then the engineer learns that we don't want this long of a bridge, only 3 spans. Please add the ability to chan...

    Non automatic update of cant values in cant table

    This comment is coupled with another idea I had regarding selective update of annotations. Again the problem stems directly from the dynamic nature of ORD. Usually the process to create a cant for an alignment goes as follows: -Creation of speed t...

    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.

    Assign Feature Definition to Complex Geometry to automatically apply to parent elements of the complex

    When using Set Feature Definition (FD) or change FD in Properties dialog, to assign / change a FD to a Complex Geometry, such process only affects the Complex Element entity itself, i.e. FDs of all geometry elements which the complex element is ma...
