Add option to set forward/backward depth and forward/backward display while creating the cross section sheets.

When making named boundaries we were not able to select any settings or seed files that would let us select the options for forward/backward depth and forward/backward display. This means we had to go into each named boundary individually. Its imp...

Add The Ability to use a Fence and Regular MicroStation Shapes as a Boundary When Using The "Analyze Volume" Tool

Currently, the "Analyze Volume" tool "Only" allows you to use an ORD Geometry Shape for a boundary. It would be much more useful and intuitive if we could also use a fence and/or a regular MicroStation shape for a boundary as well like you could w...

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...

Design profile view needs to allow annotation of projected geometry element annotation

Take surface template into account when analyzing volumes

Add the ability to take surface templates into account when analyzing volumes between two terrain models. That way you will not have to create a delta terrain, for instance when you want to take the clearance of top soil into account. This option ...

Additional Measure and Draw tools for Dynamic Sections

I would like a set of tools that I can measure and draw slopes with in the dynamic sections. I can use temporary dimensions for the active corridor elements only, but I would like to get the slopes of elements in adjacent corridors that are in my ...

Want the Edit Complex Terrain Model to show missing terrains

suppose a Complex terrain is created by combining multiple terrains. At some point thereafter if one of the individual terrains is deleted, if the "Edit Complex Model" tool is used the deleted terrain is simply gone. There's no indication that it ...

When creating a new point in a Survey field book using the “New Point” command, allow an option to hand-enter the coordinates.

When using the “New Point” command for a survey point, the user must screen-pick the coordinates. There are times when it would be extremely useful to hand-enter the Northing, Easting, Elevation.

Cross Section Annotation for existing and design terrain models

In the created cross sections for the existing and multiple design terrain (surface), we need to annotate the 1) height difference between the terrain model(s); Also, 2) need to annotate the offset (length) from the point to the cutting line. This...
