Test Null Points in ITL Testing Section

Many templates utilize null points to feature constraint or parametrically move to influence display rules within templates (switches). The ability to move those null points to see how they influence template display rules within the testing end c...

In "Template Options" dialog, add option to apply affixes to parametric constraints

The Create Template feature has a "Template Options" dialog that allows you to apply affixes to a component when dropping it into a template (e.g. automatically appending "_L" and "_R" to the end of point and component names). This feature doesn't...

Horizontal Geometry tool similar to the Site Layout

Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath. I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and...

Add groups and filters to Parametric Constraints so that I can limit the list to where I am working

Would be nice to be able to group the parametric constraints by what they are, similar to how event points can be grouped. Say I am adjusting pavement depths, would be nice to see only the pavement depth constraints. Similarly, would also like to ...

Challenges when different template components/features share the same name but with different assigned feature definitions

Suppose you have a corridor with two different template drops. The first template has a component called "pavement_left" with a feature definition "pvmt_ friction _course". The second template has a component also called "pavement_left" with a fea...

Slope to Mesh - "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include Meshes

Update the the "Create 3d Line By Slope to Terrain" to include slope to Mesh. This will allow users to grade to 3d meshes created by linear template components and corridor components. Currently if I want to daylight to a corridor mesh with this c...

Complex Retaining Wall Modeling Tool

Many time when desining earthworks or roads we`re have to create retaning walls to respect the site boundaries. The soluntion depends on if it`s a cut (anchors, soil naisl, ..) or fill areas (seinforced soil walls, slope reinforcement, mass gravit...

Dynamic XS view - Adjust station jump distance on corridor xs view

I would like the ability to adjust the station jump distance, based on my input rather than the corridor template drop distance. Only works when an allingment is chosen rather than the corridor, which in some cases makes other abilities lacking.

Generate 2D Closed Shape from Corridor Component or Other Mesh

It would be extremely useful to have the option to generate a 2D shape of the top planar surface of a 3D component that updates as the corridor changes. This would be similar to how corridor points can already generate a 2D line if specified in th...

Temporary dimension of elevation in dynamic cross section

Add the capability to see the elevation of a point(s) on a dynamic section with a temporary dimension, much like the width/height and slope is available with horizontal and vertical temporary dimension lines.
