Drainage and Utilities Enhancements
- The Place Node command nowlets you select a baseline reference as part of the prompt sequence.
- Nodes now include relevantproperties for connected conduits, such as their shape, size, invert elevation,and material.
- Profile runs can now showthe conduits that connect to a node, that are not part of the profile run.
- Annotation of multipleconduits in cross section drawings can be automated using an Annotation Filter,which now lets you select conduit feature definitions.
- The MicroStation 2D ElementID has been added as a Utility property, which means that it can be included inFlexTables, and exported to external formats such as Shapefiles.
- A Slope (Construction)property has been added, for annotation and reporting.
- The Extract Utilities fromGraphics command now lets you select a feature definition for nodes, as well asconduits.
- The Extract Utilities fromGraphics command now lets you specify a search radius for nodes, to account forthe situation where the ends of the graphics for the conduits are close, butnot coincident.
- You can now import andexport a Utilities submodel, as well as a Drainage submodel using a .sqlitefile.
- Importing InRoads Storm andSanitary, LandXML, and MicroDrainage data can now be done in an empty designfile, as opposed to a new design file.
- You can now remove theelevation and baseline references if those references are no longer available.
- A new configuration variable(CIVIL_SUBSURFACE_LOAD_REFERENCES) has been added to prevent the extraction ofDrainage and Utilities databases from a referenced design file.

Item Types Enhancements
- Added the ability to definepick lists in an excel file.
- Add search capability toItem Types pick list in the Properties dialog.
- Added the ability to definemultiple Item Types per Feature Definition.
- Added the ability to definedefault values for each Item Type property per Feature Definition.
- Added synchronization ofItem Types between 2D, 3D, and profile models. The synchronized Item Type canbe viewed and modified from any of the three views/models.
- Removed Asset Manager iconfrom the Home tab. The Asset Manager icon can be found on the Utilities tab.
- Added a new "Update Sta/OffValues" mode to Asset Manager to calculate Station and Offset values and updateexisting Item Type definitions.
- Improved Asset Managersability to use Linear References in 3d models.
- Enhanced Reports to Groupand Aggregate data.
- Enhanced Reports to includeSummary rows.
- Added new configurationMS_DGNLIBLIST_ITEMTYPES variable to define Item Types dgn library files.
- Renamed PICKLIST_EXCELPATHconfiguration variable to ITEMTYPE_PICKLIST_EXCELPATH. The old configurationvariable remains active at this time but will be retired in the future.
- Added the key-in "PICKLISTSUPDATEEXCELSETTINGS" which can be used to bulk update existingPick List definitions on existing Item Types. This can be useful if the fileExcel name or tab/sheet name changes.

OpenRoads Designeris an extremely versatile civil design application that is used for all types and sizes of civil projects around the world. The application addresses a wide variety of complex tasks such as interchange design, roundabout design, earthworks, surveying, sanitary and stormwater network design, subsurface utilities, and production of construction staking reports. Traditional 2D methods are manual and tedious, full of communication and data gaps, leaving you frustrated, exhausted, and with a project that costs you accuracy, time, and money. From survey through plan production and construction documentation, OpenRoads Designer is the one application you need to meet project requirements on time, every time, regardless of change.

OpenRoads makes collaborating on 2D and 3D models easier and more efficient than ever. From team-level, work-in-progress collaboration to project-level, multidiscipline coordination, project managers, reviewers, site workers, and inspectors can view designs, perform virtual walkthroughs, query model information, and analyze embedded property data. You can automate the production of high-quality drawings, including multidiscipline documentation sets, which are consistent across the entire project. Get a live view of the project in sheet orientation. As the design changes, so will the sheets. Make edits directly in the design model and the application will update the sheets.

OpenRoads is all you need for geometrics, survey, drainage, utilities, quantity takeoff, cut/fill, site grading, lane configurations, and mobility. Ensure visibility into overall project performance with design-time analytics to achieve optimized design outcomes for a wide variety of analysis such as drainage, terrain, safety, grading, site visibility, and more. Roadway designers and engineers require software that seamlessly collaborates across disciplines, addresses growing industry demands, and includes automation to remove tedious manual work. Whether you need to produce traditional 2D deliverables, advance to 3D modeling, support digital transformation, or all the above, OpenRoads is the choice for road design.

Even as the transportation industry is moving towards the creation of 3D models, the need for a variety of deliverables continues to be part of the project workflow. With OpenRoads, you can create whatever deliverables you might need. Experience your designs in real time with constraint-driven templates, a context sensitive intuitive interface, and dynamic 3D modeling. Visualize the design at any time and on demand within the modeling workflow. No translations, software, or special workflow process is needed. Whether it is 2D or 3D, plans or models, digital or paper, OpenRoads is designed to allow you to work in all these arenas simultaneously, leveraging information from one to help populate the other. Our 3D models can be leveraged for 4D scheduling and 5D cost estimation, bringing your design to constructed fruition, on time and on budget.
