Creating label at every instersection point

The idea is to expand the labeling capabilities so that labeled points are created automatically at all line intersections. Currently, the tool only allows manual indication of the intersection and locating only one label at a time.

Have Sight Visibility Lines also created as 2d Geometry so users can visually inspect/present failures

Currently sight distance analysis results are purely 3d extended objects that only offers a limited amount of functionality to determine visually why a failure is occurring. Adding 2d geometry representation to these objects would allow users to p...

LBS add a special distribution factor for deflection (AASHTO Art. 2.5.2.6.2)

Under commentary C2.5.2.6.2: "For straight girder system bridge, this is equivalent to saying that the distribution factor for deflection is equal to the number of lanes divided by the number of beams"

Bring back "Depends On" in the Properties

It is my understanding that this was removed in the 2024 version due to general confusion, but I'd like it to be added back. If it is made toggleable, it can be turned off by default to avoid the aforementioned confusion, and this allows those tha...

Labels Every 100' and Ability to Pick Start Point

I created the Civil Label for the 100’ elevation along a geometric element, but I want to be able to pick where the labeling starts and not at the start of the geometric element. I want to establish a target to start the 1st label at a prompted cl...

Make Plan by 3D Element tool create Geometry with "Active Profile" to be usable

Unlike the OpenRoads v8i functionality for this tool, Plan by 3D Element does not create Geometry that has an Active Profile and therefore can't be used for the majority of functions users want by default, namely Point Controls (in ORD and OBM Dec...

Organize named boundaries

Allow user to organize named boundaries including moving boundaries between groups and re-ordering within group etc. This would be particularly useful for cross sections and creating end area volumes. Sometimes we have to retrospectively create ad...

Ruled Copy Enhancement to Complex By Element Tool

There is currently not a way to create a ruled copy of an element when using the Complex By Element tool. Being able to create a ruled copy of a range of segments and curves into a complex element with a different feature definition would be a hel...

get quick slope measurement from dynamic cross section based off alignment (not corridor!)

I know if you open dynamic cross sections based off a corridor you can place temporary dimensions. but if you open a dynamic cross section based off the alignment you cannot place temporary dimension lines. I need an easy way to get what slope a g...

Superelevation Reassign

Similar to the ability we have to redefine geometry and reassign corridors (like Complex Redefine or Corridor Reattach), a Superelevation Reassign tool would be very useful. For example, if we are evaluating 2 different alignments/profiles and wou...
