Add a “Chord" Toggle to all the Horizontal Curve Tools

To have to go to the Back Stage and select Settings ==> File ==> Design File Settings ==> Civil Formatting ==> Degree of Curve Method to change from an Arc Defined Curve to Chord Defined Curve is not a good workflow. In our State we ca...

Profile by Best Fit > Convert to Profile Rule requires ability to set vertical curve type

Create a best fit vertical profile and then convert to a Profile Rule. It only creates parabolas ... we need the ability to create a circular vertical curve. The profile by Best Fit command may only utilize parabolas, but they ONLY work with circu...

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.

Event point description reporting

I have imported several groups of horizontal event points such as viaduct start and endpoints. The points include their point description. I would like to report Station, Easting, Northing and the point description but the "Horizontal Alignment Ev...

Analyze Point improvement to display slope in a vertical radius.

It is often necessary to check the slope in a specific point/section of a vertical curve, but this cannot be done right now with the "Analyze Point" tool. No matter where on the alignment I click the slope that displays is the slope of the first v...

Allow Item Type value to drive dimension of Civil Geometry elements

There are several instances where we draw civil elements with rules and need to change the dimension value (length, offset from element, etc.). Currently the only way to do this is to click on the element and use the handles, or dig through the pr...

Point Table using MicroStation Table Styles

This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...

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...

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...
