Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

add more columns for 1.33*Mu and Mcr (min. reinforcement in beams) and red the controlling moment if failing

It would solve confusion on the layout of the ultimate moment/min. reinforcement print outs/reports for bridge engineers.

Ability to assign varying ledge heights on either side of an inverted tee cap.

useful feature when we have varying girder depth on either side of an inverted tee cap. currently ledge depth has to be same on either side , and the pgl is achieved by using thickened bearing seats

Add Conduit To Existing Profile Run

It would be very helpful if there was a way to simply Add a Conduit to an existing Profile Run. For example, I have a storm network modeled and a bunch of drawings created by using a Profile Run, but now I needed to add another conduit at the end ...

Annotate vertical curve info on any alignment, not just the active one

Currently, vertical curve annotation (L, K) is part of the Drawing Model annotation groups and can only annotate the active profile. It would work much better if this was part of the Linear Profile Annotation and could be applied to any vertical a...

Horizontal Slew On longsection

This tool currently only works on regression geometry. Sometimes I find myself needing to mix regression and standard geometry. once o make these complex the slews do not show on the long section and i find myself manually typing them in from the ...

Please fix the Standards in OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition to not copy to the individual dgn files in the project.

On very large projects with hundreds of people working on the project and you need to change a standard you should not have to go thru all of the dgns in the project to update or purge old standards. Most of the time the standards evolve as the pr...

feature definition - browser all element that used a specific feature definition

Get a list of elements using a specific feature definition. Similar to level usage. This "select by graphic filter" filter only feature type that compose a terrain model.
