Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally KYT...

ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

When using the Set Feature Definition tool on non-civil geometry, have it include Item Types attached to Feature Definition.

Currently, when using the Set Feature Definition tool to assign a Feature Definition to a non-civil element (ie a dumb MSCE line) it does not include the Item Types that are attached to the Feature Definition.

Save dialogue window sizes

Many dialogue windows don't open up with the best proportions to see the data and they don't save the proportions after they have been edited. It gets tiring having to edit the proportions of dialogues to see the data as needed every single time I...

Retaining turnouts when horizontal alignments are dropped.

Currently when an alignment is dropped (no longer complex) all associated turnouts delete entirely and any geomtery created from these turnoiuts is also deleted. This is a big issue when optioneering, or when working on a scheme with lots of turno...

The use of regression line/points to report lift information in profiles

Currently there is not functionality to annotated lift information using regression line/points. Have you use another design alignment (in this case it would the exisitng alignment). It would be great to be able to use one data source to report sl...

Turn feature definitions on/off in a reference

If feature definitions are turned off in a file, it doesn't show up when reference and it's not possible to even view without going back into the file. It would be helpful to have the option to turn on feature defintions the same way levels can be...

Vertical Event Points

There use to be the ability to create Vertical Event Points. This appears to have been removed in that the Event Point List is now singular and tied to the Horizontal Alignment. The old capability (now removed) allowed things to be annotated in th...
