Chevron Pavement Marking Tool

This tool would replace the old Geopak tool that created chevrons with minimal effort. It's certainly possible to create chevrons by hand with the current tools, but it takes significantly more time for what was a pretty quick task. I think the ol...

Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...
