Show Slopes in Properties

Request to add the slope of an element in the properties tab. Why is it useful? Allows designers to check slopes at a glance without using dimensioning tools. Slope in relation to the global origin would be helpful for typical sections. However, i...

Merge OBM solids into "wrapped" elements for concrete pours

Though the flexibility of OBM objects is inherently related to keeping the objects separated, there is a need for plans production and construction evaluation to allow users to create custom "wrapped" OBM elements, while analytically, OBM elements...

Horizontal Range Option for Loop Alignment Modeling Controls

When modeling a loop ramp (or any situation where the alignment doubles back on itself) point controls and target aliases have a tendency to find solutions that are technically correct across the infield but that are not the intended solution. For...

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Ability to Delete specific Annotation group instance instead of all instances

Currently users need to remove all annotation per drawing or in all drawings with no control. An additional "Delete Drawing Annotation" with the same options as the annotate drawings one but with an additional "All Drawing Annotation Groups" optio...

More flexibility in Cross Section annotation groups

Summary: Administrators need the ability to apply multiple precision formats within a single cross‑section annotation group. Current limitations prevent annotations from displaying ratios or percentages with mixed precision based on whether values...

Ability to Update Annotation Groups

Currently for drawing model annotation groups, if the user wants to update the annotation, they would need to remove the outdated annotation group, which would removal all annotation groups, and then reapply all annotation groups. It would be nice...

Annotating and Labelling Intersecting Alignment Stationing in Cross Sections

Annotating and labeling cross sections within ORD is missing the functionality to label the stationing of intersecting alignments shown on roadway cross sections. While feature names (alignment names) and elevations of intersecting alignments can ...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...
