Verify Turnout

Use the Geometry Connector with start and end elements chosen as turnouts. The converged result gives a disconnection between the regression alignment and the turnout. You can only discover it by zooming in to the closest possible view. A "Verify ...

Calculate the area of survey chains if they are enclosed shapes

Survey chains (when enclosed) have a reported area value of zero. This is seen in the properties for the geometry, and also if you try to read the area through an item type using the expression This.GetElement().EnclosedArea. Our construction staf...

We need a SINGLE LIST of configuration variables that can be filtered by ALL products and generation

It would be nice if there was a single list of configuration variables so that we don't have to hunt in different product Help documents (microstation vs openroads) to find details of how they are used. Furthermore there seems to be a lot of confi...
