Slope to Mesh - "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include Meshes

Update the the "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include slope to Mesh. This will allow users to grade to 3d meshes created by linear template components and corridor components. Currently if I want to daylight to a corridor mesh with this c...

Add End Diaphragm Tool

Create an End Diaphragm tool that matches abutment cap geometry for integral abutments. Some DOT's do things different than Virgina and have two different types of concrete. A superstructure concrete for the end diaphragm and a substructure concre...

A tool to identify the actual XY coordinate location of a high or Low Point on a terrain

Currently we can Analyze Element to obtain the range high and range low for XYZ of a terrain, but that XY value does not reflect the coordinate of the actual range high/low Z, it just gives the highest/lowest XY in terms of the coordinate number. ...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Deed Writer - Multiple Deed Phrase Catalogs

Our deed phrases can vary slightly by client. It would be helpful if there was a way to create, edit, and access multiple deed phrase catalogs to more easily switch between client preferences.

Add option to find 3D Linear Elements when cutting XS sheets

Right now it seems cutting XS sheets always finds meshes in the 3D model, but it won't find 3D Linear Elements. I can use Linear Templates to make sure everything gets found, but it'd be nice to have a toggle/option when placing the Named Boundaries.

Surface template-Don't stop the tool after one action

It would be useful to stay in the same tool after one surface template has been placed, similar to all other tools in OpenRoads. At the moment, I have to pick the tool again everytime I want to place a surface template.

Create Template Geometry - Option to create 2D Elements from points located below top surface

Currently only template points located on top surface can produce 2d linear elements. This also only seems possible, when the components they belong to, are not ‘Excluded From Top/Bottom Mesh’ (option in Component properties dialog) and the ‘Creat...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Ability to add "Folders" or "Categories" in other Libraries

The "Cross Frames", "Connection" and "Connector Angles" libraries have a flat folder structure. It would be nice to be able to add one or more "folders/categories" for the sake of sorting the templates. That ability exists in the "Decks" library.
