Synchronized scrolling with two or more profile views

Synchronized scrolling would be really helpful when you have parallel tracks and need to review them and check that they have the same geometry. It could also be good to be able to have the ability for synchronize scrolling between plan and profil...

Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...

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...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Ability to Update Annotation Groups

Currently for drawing model annotation groups, if the user wants to update the annotation, they would need to remove the outdated annotation group, which would removal all annotation groups, and then reapply all annotation groups. It would be nice...

Sheet presentation of Drainage and Utilities nodes in plan view with annotation cells

When we initially stood up Storm and Sanitary, we had the center point presentation in plan view display a representative cell. I propose that we allow the placement through an element template of an annotative cell at the center of nodes to repre...
