Merge and separate geometry with dependencies from and into multiple DGNs

When you have multiple files with geometry which reference each other, I think there should be a tool to allow you to merge those DGN's into one without losing relationships e.g. I can merge my main alignment file and the file which contains my ch...

Ability to Separate Tangents / Gradients from Adjacent Tangents / Gradients after Alignment Simplification

When making alignment modifications by manipulating tangents (Horizontal Alignments) or gradients (Vertical Alignment) we prefer to limit extents of changes to only one tangent / gradient at a time. This is possible, when alignments are built with...

Custom Linestyles Drawn in a Profile View do not scale

When Drawing a Custom Linestyle in a Profile view. The linestyle is scaled with the vertical exaggeration. This makes the linestyle unreadable, and therefore cannot have custom linestyles in profile view unless re-drawn in the drawing model, which...

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

Have both turnouts as ''free'' when calculating a crossover

When calculating a crossover geometry (2 turnouts+geometry in between) it could be beneficial if both turnouts (beginning and end) could be set as free. This would be beneficial in cases when two tracks are not totall parallel and the only option ...

Complex Terrain Loading Performance Improvement

Following recommendations of federated files workflow, Complex Terrain is usually built from individual terrains located in separate attachments. Complex Terrain file is then attached to design files, i.e. geometry, corridors, etc.. During opening...

Create a tool for parametric turnout tie placement, with specific ties and spacing

The idea is similar to parametric civil cell: we need a tool to place the ties along the turnout. The ties must be of different lengths, placed at different spacing, and must follow the alignments from and to specifically identified points. The ti...

defining dynamic vehicle envelope for rail vehicles: need missing parameters

when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...

Civil Labeler - Add capability to incorporate cells alongside text favorites

We have several annotations that require a combination of cell and civil element data. I've attached 2 examples where we have a need to combine cell with text favorite data. While the text favorite can be added within the cell itself, there are ti...
