Export to IFC/Export to SHP/Export Geometry to reprojected coordinate system

Part of our design process includes exporting Geometry lines to XML and exporting both IFC and SHP files. These assets get loaded into our GIS system. However, during the design process, we design off of a modified coordinate system, and our GIS s...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Option to include a sign edge/outline when importing into DGN files

When using the SignCAD to DGN utility, the sign panel outline is obscured when the signs contain a single white border with no indentation and the fill setting enabled. To work around this, our sign designers must add an outline/no-fill shape to t...

Transpose Element option to Create a Copy.

When using the Transpose tool, the software makes a copy of the element you are selecting to transpose, and that is the element that is reversed, leaving behind the original underneath. Most of the time I do not want a copy of the transposed eleme...

Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

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...

Need Named Boundaries or Multi-Point Cross Sections that can turn for secondary alignments

Currently, when secondary alignments are used, the cross sections are always based perpendicular to the primary alignment. We need the ability for named boundaries (or some other means of creating multi-point cross sections) to understand when sec...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Viewing Corridor Object and Dynamic Cross Section Tools in Read-Only

I sometimes have to look at another user's Corridor file to get additional details. If I reference in their file or open it read only, I'm not able to open up Corridor Objects to see what template they are using. It would be useful to allow me to ...
