Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Point Control Limits

When setting a point control reference in InRoads, it would automatically set the limits to the start and end of that feature. I would like to see this as an option instead of only being able to lock to the start or end of the corridor/alignment. ...

Ability to snap and adjust point features by two points

Currently the snapping point and elevation reference is based on the cell origin. However, it would be helpful to allow for snapping and elevation control at both the beginning and end of the 3D cell. Example: 3D Guardrail End Treatments and Trans...

Add a smooth/roughened interface parameter in LEAP Concrete

Currently, LEAP Concrete reports required interface shear reinforcement values for both a smooth and a roughened condition. It also flags a design as not passing if either minimum is not met. If I know I have a roughened girder, I should be able t...

Anisotropic shell elements in RM Bridge

The implementation of FEM shell elements as a supplement to the beams in RM Bridge Enterprise, is a useful tool. Sometimes it will be useful to model the shell elements with different properties in the longitudinal direction compared to the transv...

Create Profile Named Boundary of non-active Verticals

We need a way to manually select the vertical alignment (profile element) when creating Profile named boundaries (instead of assuming we want to use the active vertical). In cases where we have divided roadways that follow a shared centerline but ...

Convert cells that represent text and letters to native text

GuideSign uses cells, not text, in the signs. I want to bring in signs to SignCAD. I want the cells to convert to text on import.

There is no way to easily measure an area within a cross section.

In ORD when you attempt to measure the graphics within a XS View it appears that you get the surface area of the entire cut or fill volume. As a user, I need the specific end area for the element. Presently you have to trace the element with a mea...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...
