Add elevation ranges when measuring volume between terrains.

In Geopak, there was a tool under DTM Tools > Analysis > Volumes, where you could specify elevation ranges to calculate the volumes, while also taking into account the volumes between two TINs. You were able to specify multiple contour inter...

Allow Terrain Filter by Civil Element Name

Terrain filters have the ability to use the Feature Definition, but a lot of the time we have elements that we do not want all elements of a feature definition to be captured by the terrain filter. Our current workaround is to have multiple versio...

Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

Ability to choose named boundary stations from another geometry

Would like to have a checkbox when creating corridors and named boundaries (particular to cross sections) to allow users to choose another geometry to pick start and stop stations. Example, I built an alignment alongside two other adjacent alignme...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Annotate vertical curve info on any alignment, not just the active one

Currently, vertical curve annotation (L, K) is part of the Drawing Model annotation groups and can only annotate the active profile. It would work much better if this was part of the Linear Profile Annotation and could be applied to any vertical a...
