Allow pasting Excel tables in Design Standard Tables

One of the features that I think would improve the software is the ability to paste Design Standards Tables from Excel into the software. This would save a lot of time and effort for users who need to adjust these values frequently, especially whe...

Allow user to define width of superelevation section graphic.

Currently, the graphic representing the superelevation section is hard coded to use the radius of the smallest curve in the alignment. If the radius of the smallest curve is 50 meters or more, the section width is hard-coded to 50 meters. If t...

Automatically calculate values when inputting into property fields

When inputting numbers into property fields, ORD can automatically calculate them for you. Example: Survey field team shoots the top of casting elevation of a manhole at 500ft, then shoots again for a bottom invert of the manhole but only leaves a...

Create multiple long sections/profiles in the same model space

When creating profiles/long sections for track vertical geometry, ORD creates an individual sheet view and model view for each sheet. This creates a large amount of work when trying to bulk annotate or export long sections for drafting. It would b...

Additional Shoulder Rollover Slope Rows (3D Modeling - Templates)

ModelBuilder Units

When stepping through model builder there is an option to set the units that are to be used in the design file; however, when the property is set in the field mappings, it does not automatically default to what was selected on a previous screen. T...

Import Utilities using LandXML

There needs to be an option to import utilities from LandXML with the option to specify the import units. I have sewer information from a utility in LandXML format, but the units need to be set to US Survey Feet. Using the import from LandXML clas...

Add an ExtendLine Code to Survey

This code would be similar to the DIST command, except it would allow the crews to add a taped distance to the last segment of a figure, which would extend that segment by that value. It would be similar to a DIST commend except instead of turning...

Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...
