Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Remove 2gb limit when creating Terrains from PointClouds

When creating a terrain from PointClouds, an intermediate XYZ file is created of the extracted PointCloud points before the filter option is applied. While a very large XYZ file can be created quite quickly (current dataset has created 10gb+ XYZ f...

Add the ability to calculate spread on two sides of a median barrier inlet

There are tens of thousands of barrier inlets on barrier medians throughout the US. Spread needs to be calculated on both sides, with the overall flow being added to the storm sewer system. Currently, the only way to do this is to create to halves...

Remove "Apply Classifications to Library" button from Template Tools or make it more difficult to accidentally misclick.

The button as it functions now, is able to edit whole library with one click. One unnoticed misclick can lead to losing hours of work. Could this function be hidden a bit? Maybe under a separate menu "Edit library" or it could have a pop-up explai...

Allow multiple drainage node elevations to be simultaneously assigned to a terrain

It would be helpful if multiple drainage nodes could be assigned to a terrain in one step. This would solve a problem if someone deletes the proposed terrain that was used to initially layout the drainage system. Currently users have to update the...

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...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

Add ability to match level when importing features from graphics

When I import features from graphics into a field book, the program does not set the correct level (match level) for most features. If we can get it to match the level correctly, it would save a lot of time. To take it a step further, it would be ...
