when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...

In US and Canadian standards, the turnouts are defined from switch point, and the distance between point of switch ( .1) and PITO (intersection, as point .0) is the most critical distance. As right now, there is no prompt available in turnouts fea...

Currently the turnout feature definition only supported non-US convention and methodology. It is only based on ratio which is not well suited for US and Canadian users. North American rail standards are based the actual frog and switch angles expr...

There are a lot of properties of the conduits connected to a node within the utility properties of that node. However, one thing that I need to call out (and would like to automate) is the difference in slope that occurs between two conduits conne...

There is currently not a way to join/group multiple nodes to a structure node to match existing survey data. This node join/group capability is needed to match XYZ surveyed invert points (from field collection) and be able to use the Extract from ...

Currently item types and their attributes would need to be programmed into to read a component or selected manually after an element is displayed. If the templates in the template library had the ability to set these selections and values ahead of...

I would like to be able to apply a surface template to multiple terrain models at once, either by a previously-selected selection set, or by selecting one or more terrain models within the tool itself. In the attached image I would like to apply t...

"Terrain Substitute” command that would swap all links from one Terrain to another, and also swap Parent Terrains for Surface Templates ( without breaking rules/relationships).

Unlike BRT, ORD does not allow defining different cross-section outlines for the front, middle, and rear of a vehicle. This capability is critical for accurate clearance assessments, especially for vehicles with varying geometry (e.g., tapered cab...

In railway design, the standard practice is to pivot at the inside (low) rail when applying cant and generating swept envelopes. Currently, OpenRail Designer does not provide an option for this; users must create complex templates with point contr...
