Annotate invert and crown elevations of conduit anywhere along its length instead of just the start and end

We would like to be able to set up annotation groups to annotate the invert and/or crown elevations of a conduit along its length using set station intervals. Currently, there are only start/end invert/crown elevation text favorite fields.

Eliminate the Utility Property Panel

We are now 10 years into OpenRoads. Why are we still faced with two property panels. One for MicroStation and one for Utility/drainage. The two property panels overlap in what is displayed. ELIMINATE the Utility Properties Panel so we can end the ...

External Flow Utility Properties for Manholes

Catch basins have the following flow types that can be added: additional subsurface flow (cfs), known flow (cfs), additional carryover flow (cfs), external CA (acres), and external Tc (min). Manholes only have the option of known flow. Known flows...

Enhancement to Group/Join Multiple Nodes in a Structure Node to Match Existing Survey Data

There is currently not a way to join/group multiple nodes to a structure node to match existing survey data. This node join/group capability is needed to match XYZ surveyed invert points (from field collection) and be able to use the Extract from ...

Circular Eccentric Nodes should have the ability to have a rotation point at the center of the structure.

Circular eccentric nodes, like manholes, should have the ability to have a rotation point at the center of the structure and elevation reference at the center of the frame and cover.

Add reflect option for DU cells.

Implement a way to minimize the number of cells by allowing reflecting and mirroring of nodes during placement and manipulation.

Provide a list of Outdated Cached References

If a drainage profile uses a cached view rather than a dynamic one, ORD will provide a notification in the bottom right-hand corner that simply says "Cached References are currently displayed. One or more cached references does not match the curre...

GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...

No duplicate Feature Names in separate files that are referenced

As part of our push into digital delivery, one thing we've run into is that if we are placing lines, points, drainage features, etc. in one file, and then need those same features in a different file for another purpose, the feature names that com...

Allow for easier rotation of utility nodes in profile

Multiple options should be available (node handles that can be manipulated, a match slope to conduit option in properties, a degree value that can be keyed-in, etc). This should allow for simplified placement of cell nodes that serve as pipe fitti...
