It would be useful to allow editing of contours after a terrain model is created. Call it "Contour Edit Mode" and allow users to massage contours in areas and preserve these edits similar to how ORD now remembers triangle edits in 10.12.
Open Roads Deed Writer fields should work with text favorite expressions (EC expressions). There are similarities in what the two different syntaxes are trying to accomplish.
The only option for placing a custom pier or abutment is by cell. It would be great if we had an option to place custom pier or abutment with a reference. Using standalone pier models have a lot of benefits and keeps the main model less heavy.
In the same way we introduced slew and lift/lower unites, we should be able to define cant units in the Design File Settings>Civil Formatting. And it should be use by the "Show Existing cant" capability we can set in the Preferences
Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...

On very large projects with hundreds of people working on the project and you need to change a standard you should not have to go thru all of the dgns in the project to update or purge old standards. Most of the time the standards evolve as the pr...
feature definition - browser all element that used a specific feature definition
Get a list of elements using a specific feature definition. Similar to level usage. This "select by graphic filter" filter only feature type that compose a terrain model.
Use Annotation Groups to add Hatching / Pattern elements and Dimension Elements
We have several sheets where we want certain lines that have specific feature definitions to have a dimension on the plans. We also have several shapes that we always want to show hatching or patterns appearing on the plans. Right now we have to m...
