Ability to append, join, or combine individual alignments and have it hold the sub alignment stationing, which would create station equations

In Geopak, we had the ability to take individual alignments and create an overall alignment from a subset of alignments and it would hold the individual stationing for each alignment, creating station equations. There is no way to do this in ORD u...

Transpose Element option to Create a Copy.

When using the Transpose tool, the software makes a copy of the element you are selecting to transpose, and that is the element that is reversed, leaving behind the original underneath. Most of the time I do not want a copy of the transposed eleme...

Compound Curve with Spiral Segments Tool

A geometry tool is needed to easily create a Compound Horizontal Curve with Spiral segments. Having the ability to quickly compute a Spiral-Curve-Spiral-Curve-Spiral between two tangents would be greatly beneficial to the track design work we do. ...

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Allow users to see horizontal and vertical alignments while in view only mode.

Wise users open files in read-only mode when they don’t intend to change the file. ORD should promote good file practice to allow us to view geometry when we are in view only mode.

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...

Having an Undo & Redo button for the Table Editor

Sometimes mistakes happen. Rather than closing out of the window and waiting for ORD to undo the mistake, the "Undo/Redo" button would make the design process all little smoother. The button won't end mistakes but it sure beats having to close out...

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

Profile by Best Fit > Convert to Profile Rule requires ability to set vertical curve type

Create a best fit vertical profile and then convert to a Profile Rule. It only creates parabolas ... we need the ability to create a circular vertical curve. The profile by Best Fit command may only utilize parabolas, but they ONLY work with circu...
