Toggle for auto advancing to the next number in the place point tool.

Our workflow requires a different naming convention for different types of points. (Centerline points are 3000 series, section corners are 8000 series ect..) It would be handy to type the point number in once and then have the place point tool aut...

Add ability for Overlay/Stripping Top to follow the lowest between component and terrain.

We often need to provide volumes of additional excavation for substandard subgrade material to a certain depth. The easiest way to get this is through the Milling and Stripping functionality. You set the bottom of the component thickness and have ...

Settings from Design Model should sync all 8 views in the view group

The saved view reference setting "Settings from Design Model" synchronizes the level display (and other settings) from view 1 in the reference file to ALL views in the master file. One efficient method of producing plans is to have a different lev...

Analyze Volume Terrain model misses the old "Triangle Volume report" option

When using the "Analyze Volume Terrain model" tool the only way to save the result is to place a text in the dgn file. As in the legacy product (PowerCivil/InRoads) we need to be able to save a report (eg. using TriangleVolumes.xsl) ...it should b...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Superelevation is a tabular note that goes on the general info sheet with the super elevation diagram, so we usually just fill out the info in that tabular note. Designers just blow up the tabular note to add lines and make it work per project. If...

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.
