Feature Definition parameter - Show feature in plan, profile, XS

When we create a features, we want to see them sometimes in 2D, sometimes in 3D, sometimes in profiles, sometimes in cross sections. It would be nice to have a simply parameter "Draw/show in 2D", "Draw/show in 3D", "Draw/show in Profile", "Draw/sh...

Sorting and Grouping of Corridors and Linear Templates

Currently Corridors and Linear Templates are very poorly sorted in Explorer. These need to at least be sorted alphabetically to allow users to easily find the Corridor/Linear template they are looking for. Our major projects have dozens and dozens...

Tool to convert Parametric Cell to a 2D Civil Cell

Civil Cells are often difficult to create due to it's use of parent-child relationships. I find it easier to create what I'm looking for by using constraints and variables for Parametric Cells. I think most Parametric Cells act similar to how a Ci...
