Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Corridor element override

End condition override tool allows edits to part of the template for a selected station range in plan view, but the tool only works with end condition components. Update the tool to allow overriding any component or part of the template.

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.

Use survey elements for point controls

If I have a survey element that represents some existing feature, I'd like the ability to use it as a point control when designing corridors.

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...

Terrains Analyse Volume scenarios toolbar

Instead of a one time thing, create and save the comparison set in a toolbar table. If I want to run again I just need to hit a refresh button for the specifc set. When developing a project, keeping track of cut and fill volumes between design and...

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...

Annotate Slope between 2 Linear Geometries in Cross Section

2 x 3D linear geometries are created with the existing terrain. In cutting cross section, 2 points are displayed in a section. However, the slope value between 2 points are not able to annotated under annotation group.

Add some kind of optimization setting for "existing ground terrain contour display" to improve performance

We really need some kind of optimization setting available which will improve the performance of OpenRoads when Existing Ground Terrain Contours are Displayed. I believe this setting in Civil 3D is called "Level of Detail" or something. The proble...
