Horizontal Geometry tool similar to the Site Layout

Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath. I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and...

Dynamic XS view - Adjust station jump distance on corridor xs view

I would like the ability to adjust the station jump distance, based on my input rather than the corridor template drop distance. Only works when an allingment is chosen rather than the corridor, which in some cases makes other abilities lacking.

Transition Length for Parametric Constraints

When using parametric constraints to transition between default template values and the desired value, a separate parametric constraint is often required to control the transition length. (ex. Default to New, New to New, New to Default) An optiona...

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...

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...

Additional Measure and Draw tools for Dynamic Sections

I would like a set of tools that I can measure and draw slopes with in the dynamic sections. I can use temporary dimensions for the active corridor elements only, but I would like to get the slopes of elements in adjacent corridors that are in my ...

Surface Templates- Option to create top 3D linear element

Currently, when a surface template is applied there is not a 3D linear element created for the top linear feature. It would be useful to have the option to create the top 3D linear element.

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...

Generate 2D Closed Shape from Corridor Component or Other Mesh

It would be extremely useful to have the option to generate a 2D shape of the top planar surface of a 3D component that updates as the corridor changes. This would be similar to how corridor points can already generate a 2D line if specified in th...
