Placing Multiple Note Labels at Once

I am manually annotating cross sections (~90 total) due to the drawing model annotation tool not working properly. Therefore this idea came about after frequently using the "Note>Place Label" tool and these two feature names: XS Offset & XS...

Civil Labeler - Elevations along Geometry with a given station range

It would be nice to be able to limit the elevation callouts (and other callout types) within a station range if possible. I.E > when labeling EOP/curb through an intersection, using the Elevation - Along geometry labels the entire element and t...

Text Favorite: add Dynamic N,E,S,W preffix for MH labels

Add ability to have dynamic direction- N,E,S,W preffix in the label for MH labels Text Favorites. In Auto CAD the option is called "pipe direction". Following is the example of output required. (S) INV 99.8m (N) INV 99.7M

External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.

Create corridor from reference feature

Our current standard workflow for roadway corridor modeling is to create a pavement corridor then a corridor for each end condition Rt and Lt. I have seen many others including some Bentley folks use this method. It would be big time saver to have...

Limit the types of models that can have coordinate systems

Would be nice if the non-indexed profile models and cross section models prevented users from being able to assign coordinate systems. Also would be nice if coordinate systems weren't able to be attached to sheet models either. Since coordinate sy...

Geometry - Copy Chain Parallel Command

There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.

Integrating Large Action Models for Design Efficiency: Leveraging AI for Advanced Design Assistance

In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Large Action Models (LAMs) offer a new approach compared to Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4. While LLMs have advanced text generation and natural language understanding, LAMs focus on p...

OBM Bridge Wizard - Define CL of Bearing offset from Wizard for Abutments & Bents/Piers

Adding the ability to assign an offset length for the centerline of bearings within the bridge wizard. The program defaults to 9" from the working line of joint. Alabama uses 1'-0" as a standard at piers/bents and we have a standard range between ...

Ditches be channel features

It would be wonderful if ditches were channel features so that they could be treated as surface features like gutters are to get head on inlet.
