When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Convert smart civil annotation to plain text

The ability to easily convert smart civil annotations to plain text will make it much easier to share annotations with other disciplines in DWG format. Also, sometimes we just do not want smart annotations within our drawings. Currently have to do...

Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book

Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)

Enhancement to the Coordinate System Tool: Include the chosen coordinates to future sheet views and models

To improve time management and work productivity, I thought modifying the Coordinate System tool to add a feature that will apply the County/Coordinate System to all future sheets and models created in the file. Currently, when we use the 'CreateF...

Plan Annotation by station range

It would be useful to have the ability to annotate only part of the horizontal alignment. There are situations where we need to have several different annotation groups along the alignment.

Control the level/feature definition of surface templates selection layer

Currently when you select a surface template in 3D view, a ghost mesh element under the "Default" level appears. I believe this element defines the surface template as a whole. There is presently no way of controlling this element to assign it a f...

Load Temporary Library ProjectWise Integration

When working in Projectwise projects, the "Load Temporary Library" ONLY allows us to select files from the server. It would be great if it would allow us to choose files from ProjectWise to temporarily load too.
