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.

Drainage Structure Analyzer

Please include a tool similar to the Drainage Structure Analyzer from Inroads Storm and Sanitary. This tool is very useful for quick sizing without having to set up a model, especially with culverts and channels.

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...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.
