Add By Linear Element option to Analyze Catchment (by Terrain Model) tool

Be able to select a linear element (eg. edge of road pavement) that the Analyze Catchment tool computes catchment areas from a terrain model for. The tool currently only has a Use Fence option which can still take a long time. If one can narrow it...

Allow new Line of Sight analysis to be included in Civil Cells

The new Line of Sight tool is a great addition to the visibility toolset, however, automated repetitive checks are still not possible. As the "standard" Line of Sight checks are usually for things like approach to stop lines and fixed objects, int...

Variable for Location Preference After Moving Annotation Text

A configuration variable (or dgnlib setting), to control the 'Location' setting of Annotation Text is desired. Images of the setting included. Currently the Location setting for annotation text can be set to Default, Relative or Fixed; Default is ...

Add Reporting Capabilities to OpenRoads: Design Criteria

Managers are requesting a report output from OpenRoads that shows any/all Design Criteria used to generate the model (corridor)...things like Sight Distance, Design Standards, Decisions/Assumptions, Non-Conformance, etc. These managers have 20+ ye...

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references

We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.

Ability to reference in Navisworks model files

Currently our only option is to bring in Navisworks Simulate models is find the .DWGs that possibly populate it and bring each one in individually. The individual reference option misses out on any files from other software (such as smartplant) su...
