Specific model option for annotation

Would be nice to have an option to run an 'drawing model annotation' for specific models rather than just all or one. This could be helpful for cross section annotation if we want to use different annotation groups for different ranges of the cros...

Alternate Surface Drop-Down List

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Name of Alternate Surfaces (AltSurf) when building your Civil Template, it would be nice to have the ability to choose an existing Name of AltSurf from a dropdown-list. The dropdown-list would show existing...

When creating a new point in a Survey field book using the “New Point” command, allow an option to hand-enter the coordinates.

When using the “New Point” command for a survey point, the user must screen-pick the coordinates. There are times when it would be extremely useful to hand-enter the Northing, Easting, Elevation.

Ability to make Geometry Profile models indexed DGN models for ease of use & design workflows

Similar to all the other models, we regularly want to go in and out of Alignment Profile models and the current methods of having to navigate to the geometry to access it is very disruptive and inefficient. Also, having these as hidden models limi...

Export multiple terrain models as a single XML file

We deliver terrain models for top/bottom surfaces of a roadway. Due to gaps in project data we often have multiple top surfaces and multiple bottom surfaces. It would be nice to export all surfaces as a single XML file similar to alignments.

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...

Calculate the area of survey chains if they are enclosed shapes

Survey chains (when enclosed) have a reported area value of zero. This is seen in the properties for the geometry, and also if you try to read the area through an item type using the expression This.GetElement().EnclosedArea. Our construction staf...
