Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Auto-rotate Annotation and Labels

Suggestion to allow annotation and labels to align with plan named boundaries and sheet file plan views. For example, consider a plan named boundaries shape around a horizontal curve. If you have a separate standalone annotation file, often times,...

Improve drawing annotation management

Sometimes we apply more than one drawing annotation to the same model. It would be good to have a model manager view with all the applied annotations group so that we can disable, remove or add. That way we could select what we want to remove inst...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Allow flow arrow density adjustment similar to contour lines

All the current products anchor their surface data in triangles, and allow different types of visualizations to happen. For instance, you can choose to show major and minor contours as needed, and they do not change the way the triangles actually ...

Add an Interval button to the Dynamic Cross Sections

Please add an interval setting to dynamic cross sections . This will allow users to control the interval in which to view cross sections. By default the interval matches the corridor density.

Dynamic cross section simultaneous tracking

Please allow us to move our cursor in a dynamic cross section and allow us to see a pointer move side to side in the 2D model at the same time.

Deed Boundary Tool Enhancement to Allow User to Establish Civil Rules on Created Shape/Boundary

Please consider adding a toggle to the Deed Boundary tool to create civil rules on the created shape, so this boundary can be a ruled boundary. The goal behind creating this as a ruled boundary is to give the user the option to update the created ...

Model Curves with Radius in OBM

Currently 3D elements that are curved are rendered with a series of line segments. While this might be okay for some applications, it makes the 3D model very unhelpful for plans production (i.e. you cannot dimension radii of curves). We need the c...
