Compound and Reverse Curve Annotation

There is no civil geometry property exposed for "Arc Begin Point Label" or "Arc End Point Label". This leads to a discrepancy in the way that points are labeled for PCC and PRC on the alignment when compared to the curve data table. These annotati...

port all Regression tools from OpenRail to OpenRoads

There are some regression tools that were ported from openRail into openRoads in previous releases. However, they didn't port every regression tool. Most notably, they did not port the Vertical regression tools for creating a regressed profile. We...

OpenRoads/FlowMaster Calculation and Annotation

PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...

Have the ability to automatically change the size of nodes based on inflow required and the size of the pipes connecting to the node

There is usually more than one option for inlets which have different capacities. It would be helpful to have the software select from these options to reduce errors. Also nodes often need to be increased in size when a pipe exceeds the size of th...

Include all of the functionality of UDX into the Items programming and vice versa. Also make the coding functions the same

With the increase in requirements of information to be provided with models it would be easier to have both of these the same so the coding could be shared.

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...

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection 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...
