Surface Template - Vertical offset

When working on sites and parking lot, sometimes we create a grading terrain to construct the slopes and low points than apply to it the pavement surface template. To model the sidewalks (think of a parking lot island) we create a clipped terrain ...

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Ability to lock Parametric Constraint Start/End to XY or Stations

There are many different situations where users may want Parametric Constraints to be locked to specific stations or XY locations. An additional column in Corridor objects with this option would be very valuable for users to identify and control d...

Use parametric cells for creation and management of sign structures and sign bridges

This would be very similar to the way that OBM creates and manages bents, columns, footings, etc. This would allow for more rapid population of custom vertical sign items in our 3D design environments. By this I mean items of different sizes, span...

Ability to switch the priority of other end conditions within the end condition editor as an override.

Currently there is no way to use end condition exceptions and as an override switch between other end conditions within a certain station range. A simple addition to the override feature where you could temporarily change the priorities of the end...

Tabular profile annotation to include speed table values

As a light rail design engineer I want to produce profiles with a lot of information to be able to check a maximum amount of information on a single document.On critical information for light rail design is the maximum speed. This is because light...

"Curve Set" text favorite annotation should annotate entire curve set

Under the Curve Set option under Location, an option for Spiral Left Middle, Spiral Right Middle, Curve Left Middle, Curve Right Middle needs to be added. Ability to annotate the Middle of a Spiral and/or Curve within a Curve Set. These options ne...

Add reference alignment elevation to the "point feature station offset elevation report"

Current report only reports XYZ of the point and station along alignment. Elevation on reference is basic information needed. Unfortunately civil expression in item type doesn't work in 2024 to workaround (CivilExpression.ElevationStart(this."Refe...

Allow "Save Settings" to save your preferred default settings in the Feature Definition Tool Bar

Many users prefer different settings to be selected by default in the Feature Definition Tool Bar. Currently, "Persist Snaps and Rule" is always ON by default when opening a file but nothing else. Even if you turn this off, or activate another set...

Improve retention of user inputs in inlets

Ensure that user-defined inlet values remain consistent and are not overwritten by prototype default values when minor changes are made elsewhere. This would preserve design intent during edits.
