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...

Survey Field Book Enhancement

Users would like the ability to create multiple field books without the terrain connecting to each. This would be necessary when surveying multiple sites for one given road project. Currently, this is done by importing the data and then going to t...

Annotate Slope between 2 Linear Geometries in Cross Section

2 x 3D linear geometries are created with the existing terrain. In cutting cross section, 2 points are displayed in a section. However, the slope value between 2 points are not able to annotated under annotation group.

Configuration variable to control default path for .tiw files

When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.

Updating XS annotation group w/o resetting annotation placement

The XS annotation group will place annotations in text conflicting locations. Once the user resolves the text conflicts there is a chance that the annotations may have to be revised when the model is updated. Therefore, it would be helpful if ther...

Variable for location of GENIO export mapping xml file

Many organizations like ours have a consistent and comprehensive export mapping scheme required for GENIO exports. Currently users need to copy a standard XML settings file and put it in their user prefs folder to get them correctly mapped for exp...

Auto-annotate parametric constraints, template transitions, point controls, superelevation

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

Terrain substitute tool

"Terrain Substitute” command that would swap all links from one Terrain to another, and also swap Parent Terrains for Surface Templates ( without breaking rules/relationships).

Export multiple terrain models as a single XML file

We deliver terrain models for top/bottom surfaces of a roadway. Due to gaps in project data we often have multiple top surfaces and multiple bottom surfaces. It would be nice to export all surfaces as a single XML file similar to alignments.

Terrains Analyse Volume scenarios toolbar

Instead of a one time thing, create and save the comparison set in a toolbar table. If I want to run again I just need to hit a refresh button for the specifc set. When developing a project, keeping track of cut and fill volumes between design and...
