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...

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...

A way to manage multiple project ITL files

I'm not sure how best to implement it, but it's not uncommon to have multiple people working on a project with multiple corridor files. Having just one itl for the project would cause a lot of conflict and possible erros so multiple itl files are ...

Add more Display Options for Placing Terrain Slope Labels at a Single Point on a Terrain

Currently, the only way to place a single point slope label on a terrain is using the "Analyze Point" tool which works ok, but there are no options at all for controlling the display of the label placed. We would like to have the ability to place ...

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...

Deed Writer – Allow Single Line to Define Right of Way Boundary

In the Deed Writer tool (accessed via Geometry > Reports > Deed Writer), after selecting the reference alignment, the next step prompts the user to identify the Right of Way boundary. Currently, the tool only accepts closed shapes for this b...

Enhancements to Expression Builder

Interface Currently, writing expressions in expression builder is only slightly better than writing code in notepad. The interface could be enhanced similar to Visual Studio with colorized classes, methods, and properties, colorized brackets with ...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX
