Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Ability to lock profile when start stationing changes

Right now (2022 R1) if an alignment with a profile is extended in the start, the profile moves together with the start of the alignment. Two wishes: Possibility to lock the profile elements in their present position. Possibility to move the whole ...

Bring back the “NE=” key-in command.

U.S. surveyors traditionally work in Northing & Easting, in that order. When working with Microstation V8i, AND with Inroads loaded, the user could perform precision drafting by using the “NE= “ key-in to enter the exact northing/easting coord...

Surface Template better UI

After creation, no 2D handle is created or anything similar. It can only be selected/edited through the 3D model. This tool is amazing, but it is in dire need of some major improvements.

Make editing catchment areas more user friendly

When you initially create a drainage area from a shape, it creates 'smart' vertices that you can grab and move with the cursor. However, after the initial catchment shape is created, the only way to add additional vertices is using the "Insert Ver...

Ability to Synchronize ITL to a Master ITL

Either add ability for multiple users to be in the same ITL and save the information. At the moment we run a separate ITL for segments of a project which leads to slight differences to similar items. It is cumbersome to use the template library or...

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...
