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...

Edit profile elevations in plan view

Show vertical elevations and allow for dynamic profile elevation and slope edits in plan view without needing to open up individual element profiles.

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.

Annotate the flow direction of a ditch in cross section drawing model.

Ability to annotate the flow direction of a ditch using an annotation group within a cross section drawing model. Currently the annotation exists only for plan view (See communities post here ). In Geopak we had a workflow to accomplish this task,...

Invert Terrain Elevation

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

Option to display all cross sections in one model

Our designers would still like to display all cross sections generated by the Drawing Production tools in one model so that the designer can analyze them as they wish in one view rather than looking at them sheet to sheet or drawing model to drawi...

Dynamic Cross Section View should honor point control secondary alignments

I'd like temporary dimensions to report normal to secondary alignments

Calculating Multiple Polygon Volumes using Analyze Volume from Terrain Model

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

Cant offset rotation option for Tunnels

An additional rotation option is needed for cant application. This is an offset point from the track centreline location. Offset point is a user defined value and defined in the tool interface. When Center Offset is selected as rotation option, tw...

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...
