In Dynamic Sections, add width and cross slope for top of components to pop up window when hovering on components.

In SS2 InRoads Roadway Modeler we used to be able to see component slopes and widths in a pop-up window when hovering on components. This allowed us to quickly test that new point controls (or parametric constraints) were working as intended. It's...

Ability to assign name and/or number to horizontal geometry PC/PT/PI/CC/etc

Or maybe auto-assigning sequential number with the ability to add a prefix based on Feature Definition? Some clients require labeling the horizontal geometry points with a name/number that coincides with tables/reports. This applies to roadway geo...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Create a civil label that easily labels the slope of a terrain model

This label should function similar to the analyze point and analyze between points that are already available but we need to be able to control the display of the output for sheeting.

Need to dimension Surface templates.

Need to be able to dimension Surface templ ates in the dynamic cross section view during design as well as XS Drawing Models for plans productions. Could do it in InRoads.

Organize named boundaries

Allow user to organize named boundaries including moving boundaries between groups and re-ordering within group etc. This would be particularly useful for cross sections and creating end area volumes. Sometimes we have to retrospectively create ad...

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

Exported TIN surface must carry same edge method on importing.

Exported surface in TIN format not keeping the same edge method while importing it in new .dgn file. So, it is expected to get such functionality where the exported surface should carry the same edge method or while importing any surface it should...

Superelevation Reassign

Similar to the ability we have to redefine geometry and reassign corridors (like Complex Redefine or Corridor Reattach), a Superelevation Reassign tool would be very useful. For example, if we are evaluating 2 different alignments/profiles and wou...

Have Sight Visibility Lines also created as 2d Geometry so users can visually inspect/present failures

Currently sight distance analysis results are purely 3d extended objects that only offers a limited amount of functionality to determine visually why a failure is occurring. Adding 2d geometry representation to these objects would allow users to p...
