Ability to add bends in watermain and when the bend angle is changed to geometry updates
When laying out watermain pipes the bends can be 45 degrees, 22.5 degrees, etc. These bends are modeled as nodes in our workspace so we can report of them and display them in our drawings. If the angle of the pipe adjusts, we want the node feature...
The place label tool already has this functionality but once you place the label it's fixed and can't be adjusted. Please add the cell functionality to the place note tool to create labels for signs. Would be extremely useful. Also the place label...
GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD
In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...
Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running
Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...
I'm not sure how best to implement it, but it's not uncommon to have multiple people working on a project with multiple corridor files. Having just one itl for the project would cause a lot of conflict and possible erros so multiple itl files are ...
Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size
Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...
Add The Ability To annotate Terrain Slopes At A Grid Similar To The InRoads Tool "View Slope Vectors"
We need the ability to display terrain slopes at a specified grid interval. This technique is used to present to other stakeholders (non ORD users) for analysis and confirmation that all the slopes of a terrain meet design criteria. InRoads had a ...
Export 3D Elements to IFC without losing its metadata
I need an easier way to export only 3D elements to IFC from OpenRoads Designer. Exported elements need to include all item type attributes. This can be done today by creating the iModel first. From Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, a Saved View in tha...
Deed Writer – Allow Single Line to Define Right of Way Boundary
In the Deed Writer tool (accessed via Geometry > Reports > Deed Writer), after selecting the reference alignment, the next step prompts the user to identify the Right of Way boundary. Currently, the tool only accepts closed shapes for this b...
Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder
Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...
