Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

There needs to be a better way to understand the relationships between elements and reference files that are created by snap rules and constraints.

This improvement would use graphic symbols (construction elements) to represent constraint relationships in plan view. For horizontal elements that are snapped, there are the snap glyphs that show that there is a relationship, but there is not a w...

Auto Create Event Points at Drainage Nodes

CTDOT would like the ability to create event points from Drainage Nodes. Many of our projects have a lot structures and manually adding event Points at each crossing is tedious. Projecting drainage on XSCs still does not work like we need it to, s...

Ability to Include Profile when off setting 2D Geometry

It would be much more intuitive and beneficial if there was an option to "include" the profile of a geometry element when using the Offset Tools. Currently, the workflow is to offset the 2D geometry, and then copy the Profile from the reference ge...

Create a tool to clip alignments.

Create a tool to clip an alignment at any location along the alignment that does not affect or change the stationing or the station equations even if you are clipping the beginning of the alignment.

Enhancement Geometry Builder

Enhancement Geometry Builder to get the point description so that it can be used for legal description reports. Geomerty builder is quicker workflow then building pieces and complexing them together plus it allows saving the parcels.

Add ability for Geometry build to automate station equations when joining complex geometry

In the Geometry Builder Edit, I can pick multiple geometry complex alignments and add them to create a 'combined' geometry. When I pick the multiple geometry elements and combine them, it starts with the alignment stationing of the first selected ...

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...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...
