Offset Overlapping Reinforcement at Specific Locations in Drawing Models

Reinforcement is typically tied together and is 3D modeled to reflect that. For example, a U bar tied into longitudinal/vertical bars. When a section cut is taken, the drawing models appears to show a single long U bar and not 2/3 separate bars. B...

Template Display Rules for Null Points

Template Display Rules are very powerful and widely used in corridor modeling workflows. However, Display Rules are only available for components. We would like to extend this functionality to the Null Points. This would open new possibilities for...

Export Drainage Model to 2D Linework

It would be nice to be able to export a drainage network into 2D linework that can be edited for plan sheets. Currently, we don't use our modeled files directly in our plan sheets as we cannot adjust the conduit line styles and it takes longer to ...

Auto-rotate Annotation and Labels

Suggestion to allow annotation and labels to align with plan named boundaries and sheet file plan views. For example, consider a plan named boundaries shape around a horizontal curve. If you have a separate standalone annotation file, often times,...

Import .xtr files without losing any data

We receive the rail alignment in the form of a .xtr file. In the file itself it is possible to see that there is station, cant, construction and destruction phase, and turnout information, yet when I import it in OpenRail Designer only the alignem...

Tool for moving multiple nodes at the same time

A tool to move multiple nodes at the same time is needed in ORD as such tool or functionality was not observed with ORD. This is helpful for situations where the nodes will be offset by a certain distance due to the buildings or other constraints ...

Patch Product More Often

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

Add an Interval button to the Dynamic Cross Sections

Please add an interval setting to dynamic cross sections . This will allow users to control the interval in which to view cross sections. By default the interval matches the corridor density.

Display transparent catchment boundary at the cursor when relocating an inlet.

Enable the user when relocating a catch basin to view the catchment boundary as the inlet location is adjusted. Thus, acting as a dynamic and transparent view of the catchment boundary for the inlet at the new location. This will simplify the work...
