Expand Text Favorite Fields to the limit

Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...

Cross Section named boundary by 2 points - Offset Overrides

When we create cross sections for culverts, the cross section often needs to be created at a skew from the centerline. We are able to create these using the 2 Points option. This option, however, is limited. We would like for our cross sections to...
