In modeling the road or site with geometry corner in 90 degrees or sharp, the small arc of corner is required in order to model the round corner. So that no overlap between 3d linear geometry. Software should provide the option to allow the corner...
Add regression report tool for reporting against a control alignment
In Bentley Rail Track you could run a "Regression" report via Tools - XML Re
ports - Regression...
This was an invaluable way of reporting existing cants, sixfoots, etc. with the figures generated in line with a
'Control Track'.

Future consideration
Would be beneficial to be to add overlaps to profile named boundaries so they match the plan sheets. Would like for this to be an automated option when creating profile named boundaries based from the Plan sheet named boundaries.
Add a visual graphic notation when you edit a template drop
We currently have visual graphics to show us a KEY STATION or a POINT CONTROL has been added to your corridor. A visual graphic or notation that a template drop has been edited would be a nice addition. Also, maybe add the ability to add a short n...
Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.
An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...
In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...
Inroads allowed the user to toggle a tick mark, such as a plus symbol (+), to show the position of any survey point in the fieldbook. Very useful. ORD allows the toggling of many different attributes of a point by using Survey Decorators. Please a...
Feature Defintions (Window) - a proposal for improving this function
Feature Definition Toolbar
A proposal for improving/expanding this feature
Choosing Feature Definitions is a frequently used feature in OpenRoads Designer. Especially in urban projects, switching between pavement types, curbs, placing signs, ...
Provide ability to place a 3D sign panel in a design model with the size and design from the sgn file. Transoft's Guidesign program has this ability as an example.
