Add Point Projection Interval Option to "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool

Currently when using the "Create 3D By Slope To Target" Tool, ORD seems to only project a point at every vertex of a 3D line string. This is fine when using the Geometry Tools to create 3D line strings since it creates a vertex point in 3D based o...

civil cell variables with expressions and variations

When we create parametric cells, we are able to use expressions to calculate values based on inputs, and in the properties of the cell, each of the variables (listed as visible) are shown, and you can adjust the cell from there. You can also creat...

Allow Surface Template for Corridor Top/Bottom Meshes

It would be extremely powerful if Surface Templates could select and use Corridor Top or Bottom Meshes as their base surface. If these were ruled users could create irregular shaped pavement elements with ease. This is something currently very lab...

Ability to pick individual point name to put a Point Control on when using Feature Name Override

When applying a point control, users should have the ability to choose the individual point name when there is also a Feature Name Override on the point. As of now only the override name shows up in the point control pick list, and it currently do...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...

Allow new Line of Sight analysis to be included in Civil Cells

The new Line of Sight tool is a great addition to the visibility toolset, however, automated repetitive checks are still not possible. As the "standard" Line of Sight checks are usually for things like approach to stop lines and fixed objects, int...

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 for components volumes to be added to unclassified cut or fill volume

This would allow for users to include the backfill volume and obtain one set of cut/fill volumes. The current process requires the user to manually add the backfill volume. One example of this is in the case of a retaining wall and the fill that...

Share Template Libraries - Ability to Share Template Libraries Between Users

Please add the ability to reference Template Libraries. This would allow us to have a master template library users can pull templates from. Currently we have to import templates from a master and each user is required to have there our library be...

Don't process corridor for change of disabled Point Control or Parametric Constraint

Not sure why it does this, but it doesnt make sense that the software processes when these are changed although they are disabled. To aid in productivity, especially for large corridors, the corridor should check if the Point Control / Parametric ...
