Auto-annotate parametric constraints, template transitions, point controls, superelevation

On road construction plans we need to label/annotate change points. We need to label where changes (lane width, superelevation transitions, side slope transitions, component start and end points, etc. ) from the “default” condition happen. The sof...

Apply Surface Template by Selection Set

I would like to be able to apply a surface template to multiple terrain models at once, either by a previously-selected selection set, or by selecting one or more terrain models within the tool itself. In the attached image I would like to apply t...

Ability to create a 3D ruled element when two gradings cut each other

When two gradings cut each other, for example mine corridor grading and a lateral ramp grading, you can use the Define target aliasing tool to use one of the two gradings as a target for the corridor containing the other grading to obtain the 3d l...

There is no way to easily measure an area within a cross section.

In ORD when you attempt to measure the graphics within a XS View it appears that you get the surface area of the entire cut or fill volume. As a user, I need the specific end area for the element. Presently you have to trace the element with a mea...

Ability to lock Parametric Constraint Start/End to XY or Stations

There are many different situations where users may want Parametric Constraints to be locked to specific stations or XY locations. An additional column in Corridor objects with this option would be very valuable for users to identify and control d...

Ability to Analyze Elevations in Dynamic Cross Section

Users would like the ability to quickly place a point in the dynamic section view to pull elevation information. It would be nice to have that text remain in place as you move from section to section, similar to the cut/fill volumes between sectio...

In "Template Options" dialog, add option to apply affixes to parametric constraints

The Create Template feature has a "Template Options" dialog that allows you to apply affixes to a component when dropping it into a template (e.g. automatically appending "_L" and "_R" to the end of point and component names). This feature doesn't...

Create Template Geometry - Option to create 2D Elements from points located below top surface

Currently only template points located on top surface can produce 2d linear elements. This also only seems possible, when the components they belong to, are not ‘Excluded From Top/Bottom Mesh’ (option in Component properties dialog) and the ‘Creat...
