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...

View and Edit contents of a Terrain

Contents of terrains currently can't be viewed or edited. Features can be added and removed from a terrain but there is no viewable info on these elements. What elements is the terrain created from? What elements are used for triangulation? Survey...

add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

elevation analysis in profile view

Elevation analysis needs improved within the profile window. Specifically elevation differences. Either at a single station or point, or minimum distances, etc. In the attached screen shot, I would like to know where my minimum distance occurs bet...

Switching between referenced OBD models from an ORD file (after attachment).

If multiple bridge options are required, placing these options within the same dgn, but in separate models is a good practice. However, from ORD trying to change which OBD model is viewed (after it's been attached) does not work. It can be reattac...

Profile Grid Annotation - Place as Point Cell versus Graphic Cell

Currently, when a profile is annotated along the grid, the text is placed as a Graphic Annotation Cell. For right to left profiles, the easiest fix is to create Annotation Gro ups and Definitions that basically annotate the text backwards. Then, ...
