Annotate station of any alignment/feature in cross section

Loss of functionality from SS4 which had the ability to annotate "Station" or "Feature Station". I am cutting sections for a divided roadway and wishes to annotation the station of each centerline feature in his cross sections. Currently th...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

In regression anaylsis, move the text off the regression line

I've attached couple of screen shots to get my point across. When I do regression, the regression line is selected and highlights. The slew/lift (depending if its horizontal or vertical reg) are displayed ,but right on the millimeter text is where...

Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Corridor element override

End condition override tool allows edits to part of the template for a selected station range in plan view, but the tool only works with end condition components. Update the tool to allow overriding any component or part of the template.

Add a property to apply terrain feature type to civil elements.

Set the terrain feature type for template points (breakline, boundary). When creating a terrain from a corridor, this would automatically create the exterior boundary eliminating the need for trimming edge triangles. Provide this same functionalit...

Ability to Separate Tangents / Gradients from Adjacent Tangents / Gradients after Alignment Simplification

When making alignment modifications by manipulating tangents (Horizontal Alignments) or gradients (Vertical Alignment) we prefer to limit extents of changes to only one tangent / gradient at a time. This is possible, when alignments are built with...
