Profile from Top Mesh

We have the ability to create multiple profiles from multiple surfaces at the same time, but there are occasions where I only need to define a single profile line based on multiple surfaces. It would be handy if there was an option to create a pro...

Reverse complex geometry into elements

currently creating complex geometry is irreversible and extremely difficult to edit. neither on-screen nor table edit work well to modify complex geometry, especially removal of PI with curve sets. Also, delete element from complex is not unattain...

Snap to specific chainage in Plan

In PRT it was possible to snap a smart line to a specific chainage in plan by using the key-in 'SO=xxx'. In OpenRail the closest tool I can find is Civil Accudraw with station-offset toggled on, but I have found that often CivilAccudraw does not w...

Accudraw Integration with Civil Geometry Tools

Enable the ability to utilize Accudraw with the Civil Geometry tools [lock perpendicular to drawing compass]. Currently I do not know a way to draw perpendicular lines using the horizontal and vertical civil geometry tools unless I manually type i...

Place a line between two imported points

OpenRoads should have a Command that place a line between two imported points (.asc, .crv, .txt file) V8i does have a command that will place a line between two imported points. After importing the points into the drawing, you click on the "line c...

elevation analysis in profile view

Elevation analysis needs improved within the profile window. Specifically elevation differences. Either at a single station or point, or minimum distances, etc. In the attached screen shot, I would like to know where my minimum distance occurs bet...

I need to create a quick profile that can be graphically manipulated BEFORE I create a corridor or do any detailed design.

The Bentley training videos all create a corridor and cross sections before a profile is created that can be edited. I need a profile of the existing ground BEFORE I do any detailed vertical profile design. That way I can see if it works visually ...

horizontal regression for points

in Inroads there was an option to select points to put in regression in geometry to create a best fit alignment. You could then do a single element regression analysis afterwards and it would give you the best fit line and how far in either direct...

Open profile from profile view

While I am in a profile view, I would like to be able to open a new profile from a different horizontal without having to activate the 2D view. It is a small thing but would be nice.
