Flood Volumes - Surface analysis between three surfaces

It would be beneficial to have the ability to specify surface math logic - Above Existing, Below Proposed, and Below "Floodplain" (variable plane) to get good floodplain volumes.

Add Generate Transverse Feature from InRoads to OpenRoads

This tool was incredibly useful in creating Finished Grade and subgrade terrains, allowing for quick creation of transverse features to control triangulation and slope transitions in intersections and grading. The fact that the lines could be made...

Need "Empty Terrain" option

Currently there isn't a way to view contents of a terrain. This makes it very difficult to replace or remove data. There is a remove feature tool but you have to know which features are in a terrain to remove them. I am proposing an empty terrain ...

Contour Edit Mode

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.

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.

Allow Terrain Filter by Civil Element Name

Terrain filters have the ability to use the Feature Definition, but a lot of the time we have elements that we do not want all elements of a feature definition to be captured by the terrain filter. Our current workaround is to have multiple versio...

Persist the Edit Complex Terrain Model dialog box

When editing a Complex Terrain Model, clicking Apply closes the dialog box. The user often wants to make additional edits to the Terrain Model. Allow the dialog box to persist until the user closes it.

Allow for LP/HP for terrains to have both Point and Text shown at the same time

When zooming out, the points are shown. When zooming in, the points are hidden and the text is shown. I'd like for the point to always be shown and have the text be dynamic.

Item Type Expression that References a Terrain

Similar to the new Station/Offset Expressions, it would be great to query a terrain in an item type on an element and return the elevation. It would be used primarily for point cells, but I could also see it being useful for linework.

Add a stroking option to linear features when creating a terrain.

When adding extra vertices along linear elements it improves the accuracy of terrains
