Evaluate the use of Lambda excess reinforcement for development length of steel used in design

I agree that the excess reinforcement factors would be different for each POI and load case. That is one reason most engineers conservatively ignore that factor. A simple or temporary solution is to set that factor equal to 1. I believe that AASHT...

Possibility to add/remove/change long sleepers sets

Possibility to add/remove/change length of long sleepers sets in turnouts that are placed in a geometry. When you are working with existing geometry and there are turnouts with too long sleepers sets or if you by mistake place a turnout that has a...

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Add profile annotation location option for annotating conduit description only once

If a conduit is perfectly straight, then it is easy to put the description once in the middle, but if the conduit has any bends then each segment gets annotated. Adding an option for annotation frequency with location controls would fix this.

Description Fields for Corridor Inputs

For the modeling and model review process, it would be helpful to have Description fields for common corridor inputs, such as Parametric Constraints, Point Controls, etc. that can be easily discovered using the Corridor Objects tool.

Select Multiple Annotation Definitions Simultaneously While Building Annotation Group

While building an Annotation Group, Annotation Definitions have to be selected one at a time in a temporary window. Make the definition selection window persistent, and allow multiple definitions to be simultaneously selected for addition to the a...

One button downgrade and export

While we are in a transition phase between the old v8i to the ORD dgn files, we sometimes receive files in the wrong dgn format. The steps to downgrade to a v8i backwards compatible file involves too many steps and introduces units and coordinate ...

Cross Section to Surface

Cross Section to Surface-This needs added back in the program. Using a 2D interface to make a ditch with ORD (the most simplest part of the roadway) has gotten so complicated and beyond time consuming. I would estimate xsecs now take at least 10 t...

Users shouldn't have to hit "o" to target what you want to track

Why is this so slow and have to hit "o" to target what you want to track? We only care about the horizontal alignment and everything is built off that. That tool never works and it is just a constant fight. You will key say Sta. 500+00 and want le...
