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...

Checkbox to turn on-/off alignments

It would be useful to be able to turn on-/off single alignments. Perhaps with a checkbox in the "OpenRail Model" section in the explorer, just like the ones in the "Feature definition" section in OpenRail Standards. This could probably be handy wi...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Geometry Connector: automatically use turnout radius when connecting an arc to a turnout

When using Geometry Connector to connect turnouts, it is often that we must extend the last arc of the turnout. Because the arc is in the turnout we cannot extend it. Instead, we must add an arc of same radius. It would be nice that in such situat...

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...

Ability to have multiple superstructure types in one bridge definition. For example, steel main spans with concrete approach spans is currently defined as 3 bridges

Many bridges have approach spans that are smaller in length to the main spans. For example, a bridge that crosses over a railroad ROW may have prestressed concrete in the approach spans and a continuous steel bridge over the railroad, then the end...

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.
