Create Geometry from Points Tool

A tool that would allow the user to input, either manually or via CSV (or other import method), an array of points that can be used to create horizontal geometry or drawing strings, and be able to edit said points. This would operate almost the sa...

"Locking" Civil Cell Properties

One of the challenges with civil cells is that they make sense to the creator but not the downstream users. One of the reasons for this is because once placed, any of the civil rules can be edited, which can often break the civil cell. There shoul...

Profile Annotation.Parabola Sight Distance editable

The formula for the Text Favorite "Profile Annotation.Parabola Sight Distance" appears to be hard-coded into the software. When SSD is not restricted by the curve (A < 1.75%), the output is listed as "INF'". Is it possible to make this output e...

Add Decorators to Geometry Points

Users would like the ability to turn on/off temporary decorators so that they can easily work with points in the DGN, but not affect plotting/referencing.

Node-Connected Pipe Flex Table - Pipe Angle

Currently the Node-Connect Pipe Flex Table can report -Pipe- Label, Description, Rise, Inverts (Start & Stop), and Size. It would be useful if the angle of each pipe could also be included. Often in design need to verify a minimum distance bet...

Ability to change default setting of Remove Tangent Restriction

Every time we open the Geometry Builder tool or add a new geometry, the "Remove Tangent Restriction" lock in the top right changes to a hardcoded ON state (picture below). We'd like to be able to control its default state, especially within the sa...

Enhancing Named Boundaries: Updating Named Boundaries and Applying Geometry Rules

To enhance productivity and efficiency in live projects, we need dynamic Named Boundaries linked to Geometry. This includes the ability to update the shape or location of a named boundary after creating a sheet model, with the changes reflected in...

Cross Section drawing/sheet models should honor level On/Off from 3D models without refresh

Summary: When users turn levels off in the Default 3D models, that display state does not carry into cross section drawing/sheet models without opening them more than once. This creates unexpected sheet output where items that are intentionally hi...

Compound and Reverse Curve Annotation

There is no civil geometry property exposed for "Arc Begin Point Label" or "Arc End Point Label". This leads to a discrepancy in the way that points are labeled for PCC and PRC on the alignment when compared to the curve data table. These annotati...
