Deed Writer - Allow tool to apply for other survey categories

At present, the Deed Writer tool describes boundaries only. We should be allowed to use this tool to also describe easements and acquisitions. For example: If an easement is necessary to be described along the centerline of a sewer pipe.

Visible final contour labels in corridor

After the corridor is created, it is possible to see the final contours. However, the contour elevation labels are not shown unless a proposed surface is created. Why is that so? I believe it would be beneficial to toggle on/off contour elevation ...

Slope to Mesh - "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include Meshes

Update the the "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include slope to Mesh. This will allow users to grade to 3d meshes created by linear template components and corridor components. Currently if I want to daylight to a corridor mesh with this c...

Inverse Tool - Be able to select fieldbook points and geometry points

There is an “inverse points” tool, but the key in for point numbers doesn’t work for geometry points, only for fieldbook points. Would like the report it created include an interior angle between three points (right now it only has the bearings ...

Staged Construction Optionality

Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...

Allow Annotation Groups to annotate with Label Definitions

Now that the Civil Labeler definitions are stored within a dgnlib, i think it would be really useful to combine some functionality. Annotation Groups allow for annotating with text, cells, or lines. Adding with Label Definition would allow an anno...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Place snappable points at key turnout elements, i.e. PS (.1) and PITO (.0)

To comply with US railroads standards, we need to place agency-specific cells at the turnouts. The cells must snap to either PS (point .1) or PITO (point .0). Right now these points are not snappable, neither graphically identifiable which makes m...

Support Multiple Leaders on Civil Labels

Currently, civil labels with leaders do not support multiple leaders. We often label similar elements with a single label and multiple leaders. The civil label could read the data from the first element and then allow us to place multiple arrows. ...

Create Template Geometry - Option to create 2D Elements from points located below top surface

Currently only template points located on top surface can produce 2d linear elements. This also only seems possible, when the components they belong to, are not ‘Excluded From Top/Bottom Mesh’ (option in Component properties dialog) and the ‘Creat...
