Sorting and Grouping of Corridors and Linear Templates

Currently Corridors and Linear Templates are very poorly sorted in Explorer. These need to at least be sorted alphabetically to allow users to easily find the Corridor/Linear template they are looking for. Our major projects have dozens and dozens...

Don't process corridor for change of disabled Point Control or Parametric Constraint

Not sure why it does this, but it doesnt make sense that the software processes when these are changed although they are disabled. To aid in productivity, especially for large corridors, the corridor should check if the Point Control / Parametric ...

Provide a property for Corridors that shows the associated ITL

Corridors may use a variety of template drops that come from a non-default ITL (i.e. the one defined by the configuration variable CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY). A property of the corridor could be shown that identifies any of the ITLs associate...

Import Geometry from Imodel

Add the ability to import/export geometry elements from an imodel into your file. Similar to land xml or gpk. Then you retain the ability to archive files without worrying about their civil schema.

Regression: existing cant units

In the same way we introduced slew and lift/lower unites, we should be able to define cant units in the Design File Settings>Civil Formatting. And it should be use by the "Show Existing cant" capability we can set in the Preferences

Project point elements to nearest XCs

A tool that projects point elements (drainage nodes, boreholes, signs, ...) to the nearest XCs. This could work using named groups just like the new shipped funcion: https://bentleyopencivil.ideas.aha.io/ideas/BCI-I-1208?utm_source=idea_comment_ma...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references

We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.

Key Station with civil rule

Key stations can now solely be places with a station input. In many cases the location of your Key Stations depends on the position of other elements, like geometry for example. Being able to give key stations a civil rule - like the Persist Snap ...
