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.

Update Element Information Description - ORD

Geometry>Standards>Set Element Information This tool seems to lend itself to recording and reviewing an alignment layout and design process and having it live in the dgn file vs an auxillary notepad or spreadsheet. As the design progresses i...

Cross Section annotation: allows annotation of segments that are not ON TOP

It is often required to annotate slope along sublayers. Typical example is to annotate the top of the subballast in track design. The expression allows to do many things but it doesn't work as expected.Even you specify the point names such as L_Su...

Create a Break Island Feature Type for Terrain Extraction

Much like the "Break Void" line where the elevation of the graphic is honored in the Terrain, a "Break Island" should also exist to prevent improper triangulation.

Graphical display of corridor parametric constraints

It would be more efficient to be able to see the station limits of parametric constraints graphically on screen with a control line in plan view and be able to change these stations and values dynamically similar to point controls. The only option...

Take surface template into account when analyzing volumes

Add the ability to take surface templates into account when analyzing volumes between two terrain models. That way you will not have to create a delta terrain, for instance when you want to take the clearance of top soil into account. This option ...

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...

Drop Complex Status alignment but keep FD

When editing vertical alignments. When I want to edit a complex vertical alignment by adding or removing elements I usually use Drop Complex Status because I find it easier to edit those single elements than edit apart and then use Complex Redefin...

When looking at point controls/parametric constraints in Corridor Objects, highlight affected point(s) in dynamic XS view.

The legacy corridor modeler would put a white crosshair in the XS view on the specific point being manipulated when the corresponding point control was selected. I'd like this same functionality in the dynamic XS view.
