Create multiple field books w/o terrain connecting

The ability to create multiple field books without the terrain connecting to each. This would be necessary when surveying multiple sites for one given road project. Currently, this is done by importing the data and then going to the survey setti...

Parametric rebar cages

Bridge engineering would greatly benefit from having rebar cages that are parametric in nature so we do not need to start over on rebar when a design change occurs.

Export Civil Report to csv

We're using ORD version 2023, and the Civil Reports browser allows us the option to export to xml, html, doc, and xlsx file formats. We used to have a function that allowed us to save as a txt file, which we could change the extension to csv so it...

Add The Ability To annotate Terrain Slopes At A Grid Similar To The InRoads Tool "View Slope Vectors"

We need the ability to display terrain slopes at a specified grid interval. This technique is used to present to other stakeholders (non ORD users) for analysis and confirmation that all the slopes of a terrain meet design criteria. InRoads had a ...

Place Civil Cell on Referenced Survey Feature

I would like the ability to place a civil cell along a survey feature that is referenced. We use a simple civil cell and cross sections to help compute existing pavement cross slopes.

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

If the start element is deleted the remaining part of the alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept with the result that all remaining element moves. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead is needed - in PRT this was po...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...

Drainage Civil Labels/Annotation Groups Recognize Applicable Pipe Inverts

Currently, drainage structures require various civil labels to be set up for the various numbers pipe inverts coming into a structure (0-5 possible). It would be beneficial if the civil labels and annotation groups automatically annotated and upda...
