Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools
Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes
Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors
I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX
PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...
Add ability to use manually drawn pier cap templates extruded up/down station
OBM is limited in the cap shapes it can accommodate currently. It would be very helpful if we had the ability to draw cap shapes in the front elevation view and use those as templates, which OBM extrudes in the up/downstation direction. We would l...
Button to synchronize all template drops for all corridors & linear templates in a file
I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.
RIght of Way take tables are required with named points. The normal workflow is to create points then origin point persist snap those elements creating the shape of the deed boundary to the points. In this way the legal reports show the point name...
Remember the Last‑Used Civil Label in Civil Labeler
Description Why it’s useful: During plan production, users place the same label repeatedly. Requiring them to navigate the full label tree every time adds unnecessary friction and breaks workflow momentum. Who benefits:
High‑volume plan producti...
Integration of OpenRoads Designer Civil Functions in Python
Add OpenRoads Designer Civil functions to Python integration allowing development of Python applications that can access/call the Civil Design processes within OpenRoads
In NSW, many construction contractors use 12d for project setout. I understand that ORD 2025 allows you to import 12d files, but it would also be beneficial to support exporting. This functionality was available in the older MX software.
Ability to annotate slope between linear features in plan using the Civil Labeler
Ability to annotate the slope between two linear features in plan. Currently we can only annotate station and offset but it is very common for designers to check cross slopes.
