Correct the 'Thematic Slopes Display Style' to provide a single colour per triangle when displaying terrain triangle slopes.

Some of the older designers will recall the display "Colour-Coded Slopes" within InRoads, where DTM triangles could be shaded a single colour based on their resultant grade. As per the laws of geometry, one triangle could only be assigned one colo...

ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

ORD Drainage - Separate CUlverts and Storm Sewer Pipes into Completely Separate Design Windows

Having to click 'Is Culvert' is just one more placve an error can take place in design. Creating spearate design windows for each of these elements will minimize this potential, and will make it easier for reviews as well.

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

add the entry to turnout feature definition: from point .1 to point .0 as required by US and Canadian standards

In US and Canadian standards, the turnouts are defined from switch point, and the distance between point of switch ( .1) and PITO (intersection, as point .0) is the most critical distance. As right now, there is no prompt available in turnouts fea...

Adding variables toggle to turnout feature definition

Currently the turnout feature definition only supported non-US convention and methodology. It is only based on ratio which is not well suited for US and Canadian users. North American rail standards are based the actual frog and switch angles expr...

Display the slope of the conduits in the Node utility properties

There are a lot of properties of the conduits connected to a node within the utility properties of that node. However, one thing that I need to call out (and would like to automate) is the difference in slope that occurs between two conduits conne...

Use survey elements for point controls

If I have a survey element that represents some existing feature, I'd like the ability to use it as a point control when designing corridors.
