Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Drainage Civil Labels/Annotation Groups Recognize Applicable Pipe Inverts

Currently, drainage structures require various civil labels to be set up for the various numbers pipe inverts coming into a structure (0-5 possible). It would be beneficial if the civil labels and annotation groups automatically annotated and upda...

Multiple Scales For Text/Annotative Items

Allowing multiple scales for text and annotative items or something similar. Especially when working with one survey in multiple files of different scales, it can be hard to get things to show up correctly, even when using the "Master" scale in th...

Provide a property for Corridors that shows the associated ITL

Corridors may use a variety of template drops that come from a non-default ITL (i.e. the one defined by the configuration variable CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY). A property of the corridor could be shown that identifies any of the ITLs associate...

Import Geometry from Imodel

Add the ability to import/export geometry elements from an imodel into your file. Similar to land xml or gpk. Then you retain the ability to archive files without worrying about their civil schema.

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references

We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.

Permanent bracing (PPC girders)

This would give us the ability to make our models more complete within OBM rather than having to either model using MicroStation tools or another software (ProStructures).

Ability to reference in Navisworks model files

Currently our only option is to bring in Navisworks Simulate models is find the .DWGs that possibly populate it and bring each one in individually. The individual reference option misses out on any files from other software (such as smartplant) su...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...
