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...

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...

Add the ability to view color coded depth of cut and fill 3D meshes with ability to set depth ranges.

Colors would allow for quick visualization in plan view of major earthwork areas.

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 ...

Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section

For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.

Bring back Active Chain Control or Similar Tool

In GeoPak, the Active Chain Control tool was very useful for selecting a particular chain or alignment and having the location information (station, offset, etc.) be display in a dialogue box. The location information would live track with the loc...

Create 3D by slope to terrain needs to have the option for the fill slope to be positive and vise versa for cut slope

When projecting a line to a terrain currently the only option for fill is down and cut is up. This needs to be a user selectable option. There are many cases where the proposed surface is above the existing ground yet the fill projection needs to ...

Store vertical/horizontal alignment of low points

A tool existed in Geopak that could pick out the low point of a cross section to the left and right of centerline and construct horizontal and vertical alignments from that. This essentially automated the creation of a ditch profile along an entir...

Ability to save frequently used slopes in the "create slope to target" tool dialogue.

It would be very helpful if we could save our frequently used slopes to a pull down list in the "create slope to target" tool dialogue. Currently you have to type in your desired Cut and Fill slopes every time you use the tool. It would be much be...
