When creating a new point in a Survey field book using the “New Point” command, allow an option to hand-enter the coordinates.

When using the “New Point” command for a survey point, the user must screen-pick the coordinates. There are times when it would be extremely useful to hand-enter the Northing, Easting, Elevation.

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

Export multiple terrain models as a single XML file

We deliver terrain models for top/bottom surfaces of a roadway. Due to gaps in project data we often have multiple top surfaces and multiple bottom surfaces. It would be nice to export all surfaces as a single XML file similar to alignments.

Calculate the area of survey chains if they are enclosed shapes

Survey chains (when enclosed) have a reported area value of zero. This is seen in the properties for the geometry, and also if you try to read the area through an item type using the expression This.GetElement().EnclosedArea. Our construction staf...

Terrains Analyse Volume scenarios toolbar

Instead of a one time thing, create and save the comparison set in a toolbar table. If I want to run again I just need to hit a refresh button for the specifc set. When developing a project, keeping track of cut and fill volumes between design and...

Create a rule to set drainage node to (active terrain) when setting elevation reference

Presently when setting reference elevation for the node it lets you set it to the active terrain but does not rule it to the (active terrain). If this were done the inlet tops would automatically adjust as the design terrain changes.

Annotate Slope between 2 Linear Geometries in Cross Section

2 x 3D linear geometries are created with the existing terrain. In cutting cross section, 2 points are displayed in a section. However, the slope value between 2 points are not able to annotated under annotation group.

Use survey elements for point controls

If I have a survey element that represents some existing feature, I'd like the ability to use it as a point control when designing corridors.

Alternate Surface Drop-Down List

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Name of Alternate Surfaces (AltSurf) when building your Civil Template, it would be nice to have the ability to choose an existing Name of AltSurf from a dropdown-list. The dropdown-list would show existing...

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...
