New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration

Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

Display and Annotate Tap Nodes in Profile Drawing

The feature name (e.g. a number) of the tap node can be labeled in the plan.The tap is visible in the "Engineering Profile".It would be helpful if this could also be displayed and labeled in the profile view/drawing. How it should work: Tap Node i...

Wild card for Attribute Name in Text Favorite

Some survey software put out attribute names that include the code (e.g. Note_CURB, Note_Pole). It would be highly beneficial to have the ability to use a wild card when calling out the attribute name in a text favorite (e.g. NOTE*).

Enable hydraulic analysis for referenced files

For large projects, we need the ability to have multiple engineers working on the hydraulic model. We can achieve this by splitting the pipe network into multiple files and creating catchments in separate files. Doing so causes us to lose the abil...

Ability to Annotate Angle between Tangents

When placing an "angle point" in between 2 tangents in track, we need the ability to annotate what the angle value is between the 2 bearings.

Survey Closed Shape Information

I need a closed linear survey element to populate the area in the element information. I'm wanting to create a civil label that will place the area of a closed shape. As far as I can tell, this will work except with survey elements.

Allow superelevation lanes to follow a separate control line

In the old Geopak we could create superelevation shapes to follow a profile grade line (we called this a "PGL Chain". In locations where the lanes transition offset, this helped us to see that the lanes transitioned offset while still following st...

This will be useful to annotate automatically intersecting features like Roads, Utilities etc.
