Drawing Model Optional

Creation of the drawing Model is Optional in sheet production in MicroStation. I believe this should be true for civil Plan as well. We should be able to create a drawing seed that does not have the option ON for creating drawing. Most of the Plan...

Allow for Densify Horizontal Value and the Densify Vertical Value fields unlocked in order to give more user control to corridor stroking

We need improved stroking control for corridors. Currently stroking for corridors is defined by configuration variables i.e. CIVIL_DEFAULT_CURVE_STROKING and CIVIL_DEFAULT_PROFILE_STROKING, for horizontal and vertical curves respectively, which ta...

Bring back "Depends On" in the Properties

It is my understanding that this was removed in the 2024 version due to general confusion, but I'd like it to be added back. If it is made toggleable, it can be turned off by default to avoid the aforementioned confusion, and this allows those tha...

Labels Every 100' and Ability to Pick Start Point

I created the Civil Label for the 100’ elevation along a geometric element, but I want to be able to pick where the labeling starts and not at the start of the geometric element. I want to establish a target to start the 1st label at a prompted cl...

Utility Overhead Conduits/Nodes

Current Limitations Currently, creating overhead conductors between two "Overhead Nodes" (e.g., utility poles) results in a straight-line conduit. In reality, these lines always exhibit a natural sag due to gravity and tension forces. To model sag...

Enhancing Drainage Annotation Flexibility: Options for Maintaining Relative or Fixed Locations in Plan and Profile Views

Currently, drainage annotation will snap back to the placement location based on the placement settings within annotation groups. When I move the annotation I'd want to have the option of maintaining the location in relation to the object or maint...

Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes

Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...

Allow drainage nodes to show up as a cell (catch basin, headwall, end section) in profile view.

Drainage nodes show up in 2D as the cell/feature definition it is designated like an end section. It would be useful if that same feature would show up in the profile view for drainage profiles. It currently works for the "utilities" part of "Drai...
