Toggle for Display of Civil Element Intervals
There are some cases where the intervals of trimmed Civil Elements become confusing and make selecting other elements difficult, especially in more complex locations.
Would like to see a key-in/button that would toggle the display of the Intervals on…
ORD 2019, Civil AccuDraw Station-Offset
When laying out geometry with Civil AccuDraw, and using Station-Offset, isn’t the exact keyed-in reference / Origin geometry Station supposed to be a Rule? So if the beginning Station of the alignment changes on the reference geometry, the new geometry…

How to Convert Polyline in DWG file to Alignment in OpenRoads Designer?
If I am getting a DWG file from preliminary design and after importing the DWG file to OpenRoads, how can I convert the Polyline of proposed alignment to the horizontal alignment and change its feature definition as per requirement?
ConceptStation - Alignment sources
I'd like to suggest that something along the lines of an "Alignment sources" button be added to the Information page so the user can easily see what alignments have been imported, similar to the terrain and raster information.

Vertical Profile
How Can we Track the level difference between two Line in profile e.g. Ground Level line and Design line or between any two profile line in Open roads like we can track during the Vertical design in MX road.
Converting from arc element to line, and vice-versa
Problem:
You have arc elements in your design's linework used to create complex chains/shapes. These complex shapes have associative elements such as hatching, patterning, dimensions, etc... To remove the arc from the complex chain/shape you have to…

Edit Stationing Start Value
Our current project consists of editing/updating an old set of plans that was never constructed. These plans had stationing, and many of the components of our new design are very similar. To compare, it would be better if the stationing was roughly similar…
Can I export Openroads geometry lines as graphics only?
When I reference Openroad files in which I have drawn geometry lines to the old program (PowerCivil V8i), so others in the office can help with the drawing, the PowerCivil Program crashes. Is there a way to export the geometry lines as purely graphical…
