Existing terrain element concept and modifiers

Vectorworks Landscape, Revit 2024 or Virtual Surveyor (a drone photogrammetry software) treat existing terrain in a extremely effective way, but all of them lack the volumes and tools from OpenRoads. What they do is genarating a solid from the exi...

annotate cut and fill sections in plan view

this would allow for automated text to get placed for cut and fill sections to denote which areas are which. This would assist with meeting SCDOT requirements. Previously, this could be accomplished in PowerGEOPAK with a SCDOT VBA.

When files are upgraded from SS10 to ORD, it's important that we use the client's ORD seed file. I would be nice if the remapper would allow us to select an ORD seed file to use when upgrading ss10 dgn's instead of upgraded dgn's being based on th...
