ADD A NEW IDEA

All ideas

Provide option for automatically generated contours to be printed.

The current contour display options for terrains are limited when it comes to printing. It would be useful to have an option that allows automatically generated contours to be printed, with formatting that can be easily adjusted.

Add a Geometry Connector tool for Vertical Geometry

Cuurently OpenRail implements a tool called Geometry Connector (similar to Multiple Horizontal element Regression Analysis in Power Rail Track). However similar geometry tool is not available for vertical geometry calculations. It would be possibl...

Add The Ability To Insert A Vertical Bend Or Curve Into A Drainage Link/PIPE.

It would be very helpful and much more efficient if there was an option to insert a vertical bend or curve into a drainage link/pipe from the profile run profile view. Basically, adding the exact same tool that is available in plan/horizontal call...

Profile annotation in the point shows slope of the middle of the left and right line

Please see attached file. User would like to be able to show slope of the middle of the profile lines, in annotation that is assigned to a point. Annotation shown on the printscreen.

Improve "Create Terrain from Design Meshes" & "Graphical Filter" tool. Filter by Fence / Shape / Reference Clip / Level Display / Selection Set

When I first saw this tool I was so excited. I could drape the design meshes from top or bottom and create a terrain . Then I started using it and realize the tool may need some improvement because it processes everything in the file or reference ...

Superelevation Frame Annotation can annotate the 0% cross slope location

As part of the profile superelevation annotation, the annotation currently cannot annotate the location where the superelevation is 0%. This would be helpful to show in plans and for designers to easily see the station this point is at.

Need 'Remove Loops' functionality to remove overlapping components/features (or 'bowties') in interior corners

Loops from end conditions are created. InRoads had a remove loops check box to prevent this, and we would like a similar feature added into ORD.

Draw Slope Direction Pattern Tool

We would really benefit from having the "Draw Slope Direction Pattern" tool available in OpenRoads Designer CE similar to what was included with InRoads. I understand that we have the capability to apply "side slope annotation" to corridors, but w...

Add a tool (or an option to the existing place point tool) to compute the traverse using a deflection angle instead of an absolute angle.

The existing Locate Point tool using the Traverse and Radial methods functionally does something similar, but must have 180 degrees added manually to the deflection angles to get the absolute angle.
