Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Geometry Connector: Add column for degree of curve for an arc

Please Add column for degree of curve for an arc. The Geometry Connector should show the Degre e of Curve for an Arc, and not just Radius. It is annoying to have to use Excel or a calculator to go back and forth when you need a curve to be a certa...

Add ability to draw Ahead/Back Tangent line for full length from PC to PI and from PT to PI

Currently in annotation group, the back/ahead tangent line drawn at the PI only has the option for a fixed length. We would like the ability to draw back and ahead tangents the full length from PC to PI to PC. This could apply to both horizontal a...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN
