Clipping export of 3D models using Named Boundaries to separate dgns

When exporting a model to IFC it is possible to export the model splitting to Named Boundary Groups. This is very powerfull because you can split your model and the volume reports in smaller parts. It would also be good if you can split the dgn to...

Contour Edit Mode

It would be useful to allow editing of contours after a terrain model is created. Call it "Contour Edit Mode" and allow users to massage contours in areas and preserve these edits similar to how ORD now remembers triangle edits in 10.12.

Placing Multiple Note Labels at Once

I am manually annotating cross sections (~90 total) due to the drawing model annotation tool not working properly. Therefore this idea came about after frequently using the "Note>Place Label" tool and these two feature names: XS Offset & XS...

Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates

Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...

Create Cut Fill Volumes from one element

Extension of the "Create Cut Fill Volumes" function with the ability to choose whether calculations will be performed for a selected element (similar to the function "Create Closed Mesh") or for all elements included in the model (just like it's b...

Civil Labeler - Elevations along Geometry with a given station range

It would be nice to be able to limit the elevation callouts (and other callout types) within a station range if possible. I.E > when labeling EOP/curb through an intersection, using the Elevation - Along geometry labels the entire element and t...

Define Station (similar to Internal Station) from defined alignment

It is often that alignment starting from a turnout is using mainline stationing at toe of the turnout. So it would be useful to have a method to define station at first or last point of Alignment-A from Alignment-B, and ruled.Maybe not limited to ...

Export to DWG: Improve and SIMPLIFY

Nowadays, it`s very, very and I can`t stress this enough, difficult to generate a dwg deliverable package for clients. Our market (Brasil) is dominated by AutoDesk, so dwg is a standard. We work on infrastrucure and have some really complex plan l...

External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.
