Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes

Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...

Correct the 'Thematic Slopes Display Style' to provide a single colour per triangle when displaying terrain triangle slopes.

Some of the older designers will recall the display "Colour-Coded Slopes" within InRoads, where DTM triangles could be shaded a single colour based on their resultant grade. As per the laws of geometry, one triangle could only be assigned one colo...

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

Triangles disappear when editing terrain model using swap line if feature definition does not have triangles on.

Open up a dgn with a terrain and set the feature definition to only display the boundary. Turn on triangles Edit terrain with Swap Line command Once you use the command the triangles disappear and reverts back to the initial feature definition. It...

Allow drainage nodes to show up as a cell (catch basin, headwall, end section) in profile view.

Drainage nodes show up in 2D as the cell/feature definition it is designated like an end section. It would be useful if that same feature would show up in the profile view for drainage profiles. It currently works for the "utilities" part of "Drai...

rotate cells placed by field book

We need to be able to manually rotate survey cells in a 3D file. Yes, I understand there are macros to automate this. But simply put, we should be able to use the microstation rotate command and have the cell respond.
