Annotate the flow direction of a ditch in cross section drawing model.

Ability to annotate the flow direction of a ditch using an annotation group within a cross section drawing model. Currently the annotation exists only for plan view (See communities post here ). In Geopak we had a workflow to accomplish this task,...

Invert Terrain Elevation

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Generate 2D Closed Shape from Corridor Component or Other Mesh

It would be extremely useful to have the option to generate a 2D shape of the top planar surface of a 3D component that updates as the corridor changes. This would be similar to how corridor points can already generate a 2D line if specified in th...

Calculating Multiple Polygon Volumes using Analyze Volume from Terrain Model

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

Would be very helpful to get some kind of warning that pops up when someone tries to import geometry from an xml file where the chord/arc defined on some of the xml file geometry is different than the “degree of curve method’ setting assigned to t...

Profile Grid Text Annotation - Convert to Point Cell instead of Graphic Cell

Currently, when a profile is annotated along the grid, the text is placed as a Graphic Annotation Cell. For right to left profiles, the easeiest fix is to create Annotation Groups and Defs that basically annotate the text backwards. Then, the prof...

Clarify X/Y when using Civil Analysis

suppose you use the Civil analysis tool to track the mainline horizontal alignment to a point at the edge of pavement. It can be confusing for users to know if X/Y displayed in the dialog represents the point selected (e.g. at the edge of pavement...
