Ability to create a 3D ruled element when two gradings cut each other

When two gradings cut each other, for example mine corridor grading and a lateral ramp grading, you can use the Define target aliasing tool to use one of the two gradings as a target for the corridor containing the other grading to obtain the 3d l...

Infill grading tool

Provide a tool to quickly create infield gradings. When creating infield gradings, often we only to include part of a geometry element instead of the entire element. Because the terrain from element tool doesn't have the option to only import part...

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Linear Template - the BSplines warning is not helpful

When you place a Linear Template on a splined element a warning is generated which requires user interaction to dismiss: "Warning: The base geometry selected for this corridor contains B-Spline elements for the horizontal Transitions. Consider rec...

Use parametric cells for creation and management of sign structures and sign bridges

This would be very similar to the way that OBM creates and manages bents, columns, footings, etc. This would allow for more rapid population of custom vertical sign items in our 3D design environments. By this I mean items of different sizes, span...

Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.

Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

Add BETWEEN values to display rules

When using display rules Type it would be useful to have an option of values between A-B, not only >, = , and >=. This way you can choose between multiple versions of a component. Example absolute horizontal 0-1 Curb type F, 1-2 type A, 2-3 ...

Ability to edit Annotation Groups in any model

It's a little cumbersome to keep going back and forth between models when developing annotation groups. An alternative could be to be able to select the geometry that is shown as the example when in the annotation group manager.
