Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.
