Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools
Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes
This should apply to the sections cut for sheets as well. It's currently much more difficult to label slopes on things that aren't part of the main corridor than it should be. I don't want to have to snap to corridor elements to get a slope. I want to be able to display a slope between any 2 points that I choose without needing any elements at all. I have been drawing regular MicroStation lines in over things like driveways that are modeled with surface templates and using the old SLOPELABELER mvba to be able to get my slope labels. It's an extra step that is very time consuming and not dynamic at all if the driveway changes.
Would like to be able to use the dynamic tools to see the slopes/distances on the non-active corridors that are in the dynamic view as well. the points should exist already, they just aren't active in the file
I also use to love the dynamic reports in MX. You could flick through the properties from each of the reference element's points to the perpendicular intersecting point of the second element e.g. distance, slope etc. Very useful for checking.
Realistically the current behaviour is a defect - you should be able to measure between any 2 points in a dynamic section view using the section measurement tools, but currently only works on corridor points of a specific corridor if it was used to open the section
