Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Surface Templates- Option to create top 3D linear element

Currently, when a surface template is applied there is not a 3D linear element created for the top linear feature. It would be useful to have the option to create the top 3D linear element.

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.

Control the level/feature definition of surface templates selection layer

Currently when you select a surface template in 3D view, a ghost mesh element under the "Default" level appears. I believe this element defines the surface template as a whole. There is presently no way of controlling this element to assign it a f...

Add "Update From Source" to Fieldbooks

Similar to the "Update from Source" available for terrain models, it would be great to be able to right-click on a fieldbook that's being read from an external file and tell it to refresh based on edits made to the external file. Of course, there ...

Add end condition alignment targeting in template component properties dialog

When opening the component properties dialog for an end condition you have the option to select a feature definition. Currently you can only target feature definitions under the 'Linear' category but not 'alignment' category.

Bridge drainage system

OpenBridge does not seem to have a dedicated functionality for drainage system. I have seen solution in OpenBuildings, it looks quite decent. Just to clarify, when I refer to a drainage system, I mean elements like drip pipes, scuppers, vertical p...

Select and apply multiple Annotation Groups at once.

Select multiple annotation groups and click annotate, instead of having to annotate each group individually.

Label all active points in Dynamic XS view

I imagine the interface would look similar to the template library, including the ability to turn off all point names, if desired. I'd still keep the head's up info when hovering on a point.

Annotation of distance between points along an alignment

A tool that makes it possible to annotate the distance between two points along an alignment or between points on two different alignments, but parallel to one alignment is my wish. It would be useful, so you don´t need to annotate or write down t...
