Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath.
I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and its rules.
They are so much more simple to use then the linear complex in the horizontal tab.
Specially for site layout. Polygons that are easy to add vertexs and curves to point and simple aligments, easy to edit, add and remove curves.
We can do it with the complex linear or creating a shape and setting a feature definition. But it takes much more work and in the end, I end up with an object way more complex then what a site design needs.
You guys already have the code, just simplify it and bring to geometry tab.
Side note: site layout is a developing function, but it`s on a good track to become a good tool. How it is now, it pales to the SiteOPS inbuitl functions and flexibility by a lot and needs a lot of optimization for complex sites.
But it cant take a design to a Construction Documents level. We need better tools for that. Tools not designed our inherited from openroads that focus on roads and big linear projects. Tools for sites.
