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.

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*).

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.

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...

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...

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...

Graphical display of corridor parametric constraints

It would be more efficient to be able to see the station limits of parametric constraints graphically on screen with a control line in plan view and be able to change these stations and values dynamically similar to point controls. The only option...

Allow Graphical and Tabular Editing Simultaneously

Within the Table Editor tool, provide the designer the ability to graphically edit the profile while simultaneously locking any particular VPI or grade in proximity to where they wish to make a change. This was an awesome feature in Vertical Geome...
