Target/Locate Buttons to Modify Corridor Object Stationing.
Add the Target/Locate button to the corridor objects dialog in order to change the stationing of point controls, parametric constraints etc. instead of ma manually entering station.
For the modeling and model review process, it would be helpful to have Description fields for common corridor inputs, such as Parametric Constraints, Point Controls, etc. that can be easily discovered using the Corridor Objects tool.
Say if I had pre-cast units (say rectangular for ease of the idea), you can see the coordinates of the 4 bottom corners (or other named points) of the pre-cast unit if I click on it. This would show up in model space view as shown: https://imgur.c...
Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references
We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.
Provide ability to place a 3D sign panel in a design model with the size and design from the sgn file. Transoft's Guidesign program has this ability as an example.
There are often points in a template that should belong to multiple surfaces. For instance, we have a point in our rural templates that is part of the top mesh and should also belong to our aggregate shoulder alternate surface and our subgrade sur...
Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates
Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...
End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.
I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...

Future consideration
I noticed that template ranges can overlap and there is no obvious indication that this is occurring. Ideally over lapping station ranges should highlight in red to draw attention to it.
Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements
Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...
