Add shear stress calculation (based on HEC-15) to conduit data.

Conduit data has flow data but not shear force data which would help design the channel lining needed to protect from ditch/channel erosion. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/hydraulics/pubs/05114/05114.pdf

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Dynamic leader to Civil Labeler

It would be nice if Civil Labeler could have dynamic on/off leader. If the label text is moved x.xxm away from insertion point, the leader become visible.

Place Template from template library in a drawing

We create typical cross sections as part of our plan set. I've seen guidance from Bentley on how to use different parts of the 3D corridor model to cut cross sections in specific places and then use those cross sections as the typical cross sectio...

Add option to create Mass Haul Diagram from End Area Volumes.

Currently the Mass Haul Diagram volumes are generated from 3D mesh volumes and the End Area Volumes report calculates the volumes from the cross section areas. Hence there is a difference between the Mass Ordinate values between the two reports. I...

Replace or swap master survey terrain without losing links or relationships

Replace or swap master survey terrain without losing links or relationships to design elements or other corridors, DGNs etc. I use a complex terrain to achieve this now, it would be nice to have another option

Non automatic update of cant values in cant table

This comment is coupled with another idea I had regarding selective update of annotations. Again the problem stems directly from the dynamic nature of ORD. Usually the process to create a cant for an alignment goes as follows: -Creation of speed t...

Add the overall Spiral PI station and Northing and Easting to all the Horizonal Alignment reports in CivilGeometry..

When comping existing alignments, we have a need to match the overall Spiral PI data. Adding this to the Report would make the workflow easier.
