Ability to add bends in watermain and when the bend angle is changed to geometry updates

When laying out watermain pipes the bends can be 45 degrees, 22.5 degrees, etc. These bends are modeled as nodes in our workspace so we can report of them and display them in our drawings. If the angle of the pipe adjusts, we want the node feature...

GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD

In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...

Gutter velocity and normal depth in GVF-ORD D&U

It would be very helpful if ORD drainage model calculates the velocity and normal depth in the gutter- especially when we use gutter as a user defined gutter/channel in the medians to analyze median channel.

Ability to extend profile runs

I would like the ability to control the limits of the profile run in profile sheets which would also allow me to control the stationing without having to create a separate alignment and project the drainage run into the separate alignment.

Set Minimum and Maximum Cover Constraints to the Conduit Catalog, not the Prototype

Pipe standards vary their minimum and maximum pipe cover values based on the size of the pipes. There needs to be an ability to set this per conduit size so that when running a design you can consider these different cover depths. As of now, you w...

Catchment Sub Areas need to be more accessible

A catchment's subareas is ONLY accessible by opening the subareas collection. This limits the ability to streamline various workflows. At minimum sub areas need to be accessible from the following: Flex Tables - The current flex tables will only...

Annotate invert and crown elevations of conduit anywhere along its length instead of just the start and end

We would like to be able to set up annotation groups to annotate the invert and/or crown elevations of a conduit along its length using set station intervals. Currently, there are only start/end invert/crown elevation text favorite fields.

Eliminate the Utility Property Panel

We are now 10 years into OpenRoads. Why are we still faced with two property panels. One for MicroStation and one for Utility/drainage. The two property panels overlap in what is displayed. ELIMINATE the Utility Properties Panel so we can end the ...
