Survey Point Elevation From Terrain

when creating a new survey point or geometry point, I would like an option to get the elevation of the point XZ from a terrain.

Feature Lines Similar to Civil 3D

It would be nice to be able to graphically change elevation and slope of an element similar to feature lines in Civil 3D. Made it really quick to create break lines and grade areas without have to go into a profile view and create a vertical profi...

Placing Multiple Note Labels at Once

I am manually annotating cross sections (~90 total) due to the drawing model annotation tool not working properly. Therefore this idea came about after frequently using the "Note>Place Label" tool and these two feature names: XS Offset & XS...

Toggle for auto advancing to the next number in the place point tool.

Our workflow requires a different naming convention for different types of points. (Centerline points are 3000 series, section corners are 8000 series ect..) It would be handy to type the point number in once and then have the place point tool aut...

Add option to modify a curve to have spirals on a complex alignment

Instead of having to look at the OpenRoads Model tab in the explorer and selecting the fillet to add transition ahead and back for spirals, could a plus sign or other visual on the complex alignment be added that you could click to just put in the...

Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Reverse direction of an existing complex element

A tool to reverse the direction of an existing complex element. There is a workaround by complexing the complex element but not an ideal solution.

Profile Symbology Setting

Currently OpenRail does not have the ability to assign profile symboligies for Turnouts with the Turnout Feature Definition.

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Add all feature definition types to cross section annotation groups.

Currently, annotation groups are limited to certain feature definition categories. This limits our ability to automatically annotate point features such as signs or geotech borings or drainage/utility nodes. It would be desirable to extract data f...
