Corridor Template Feature Definition override

I want to show in our corridor models the areas where we are using erosion control measures vs using general seeding. Currently, the only real way to make this distinction is to either create a new template that uses a different feature definition...

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...

Ability in Surface Creation to Move Backward

Ability in surface creation to move backward. For instance, proposed top mesh for retaining walls will never be correct, because the coping and barrier wall being outside of the wall requires the surface to move in the opposite direction. This can...

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