Tool to project the slope between 2 elements onto a third element.

There used to be a tool in InRoads (I think it was part of the Generate Longitudinal Feature) where you could project the slope between 2 elements onto a third element. The is no such tool in ORD. The only way I can figure to do it now is to creat...

Requesting Dogleg Cross Sections

Cross sections must be perpendicular to the flow lines at all locations. And they cannot intersect with each other. That is why it is common to see cross sections snap at different angles outside the main channel (we call this doglegging). The tri...

Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

Selective update of annotations

Sometimes it feels totally frustrating to work with annotations in ORD. The problem stems from the dynamic nature of ORD files. Say we have a track where we have done annotations and we took our time to specify their position and adjust them. We h...

Expand Text Favorite Fields to the limit

Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...

Similar to the new Station/Offset Expressions, it would be great to query a terrain in an item type on an element and return the elevation. It would be used primarily for point cells, but I could also see it being useful for linework.
