Allow for Hydraulic calculations and profile creation while using tap nodes

Tap nodes are incredibly useful but do not allow for hydraulic modeling or for profile runs. I'd prefer to use tap nodes over transitions because they are easier to use and do not break trunklines into segments. This would help with profiles, pipe...

add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Add elevation ranges when measuring volume between terrains.

In Geopak, there was a tool under DTM Tools > Analysis > Volumes, where you could specify elevation ranges to calculate the volumes, while also taking into account the volumes between two TINs. You were able to specify multiple contour inter...

Allow Terrain Filter by Civil Element Name

Terrain filters have the ability to use the Feature Definition, but a lot of the time we have elements that we do not want all elements of a feature definition to be captured by the terrain filter. Our current workaround is to have multiple versio...

Add an ExtendLine Code to Survey

This code would be similar to the DIST command, except it would allow the crews to add a taped distance to the last segment of a figure, which would extend that segment by that value. It would be similar to a DIST commend except instead of turning...

Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...

Add Extend Arc Code to Survey (as in InRoads Survey)

This code was found to be very useful in InRoads Survey and without it, we need to retrain the crews to change their workflows.

Allow new Line of Sight analysis to be included in Civil Cells

The new Line of Sight tool is a great addition to the visibility toolset, however, automated repetitive checks are still not possible. As the "standard" Line of Sight checks are usually for things like approach to stop lines and fixed objects, int...
