Inserting the actual profile of reference adjacent profile

This is a missing feature on the Project Profile to Element as it is only accurate when two elements are actually parallel. We need some feature that will instantly copy/insert the profile of the adjacent element which is usually a reference dgn. ...

Assign Feature Definition to Complex Geometry to automatically apply to parent elements of the complex

When using Set Feature Definition (FD) or change FD in Properties dialog, to assign / change a FD to a Complex Geometry, such process only affects the Complex Element entity itself, i.e. FDs of all geometry elements which the complex element is ma...

Default Alignment Start Stationing

Include an ability to have a default Start Stationing for an alignment. It would save time (and improve consistency) for several of our alignments where we'd like the default stationing set at 10+00. I imagine many other users could appreciate thi...

Forcing Tangency in Geometry Builder by element

The Geometry Builder allows us to force tangent restrictions. In some cases there might be some lines/arcs that are tangent and some that are not. It would be an improvement to have the ability to force tangent where needed instead of on all eleme...

Manual Editing of Cant: Make it easier and allow it to be permanent.

The "ruled" cant tries its best to calculate appropriate values of superelevation. Usually, these end up being over-ridden for many reasons, good or bad. Turning off the rules in Cant editor allows manual editing, but it is very time consuming, "r...

Add Create 3d Automatically Options

The Create 3d Automatically in the Feature Definition toolbar has the potential to be really powerful. Add the ability to have other options. The one I would most like to see is "Profile from Surface" based on vertices, locked to start and end.

Display A parameter (not Length) after using "Create Civil Rule Feature" option.

When I create an alignment with curves using A parameter and when I select this alignment "A parameter" will be properly displayed. Then when I "Remove Rule" and use "Create Civil Rule Feature" tool, A parameter will be replaced with "Length".

Horizontal and vertical geometry - edit vertical elevations/profile in plan view, improve geometry snap rules/constraints.

We have used the horizontal and vertical geometry tools to create terrain models for site design of rest areas. We have found this to be very inefficient and time consuming. For example, the rest areas typically have sidewalks that vary in width, ...
