Display transparent catchment boundary at the cursor when relocating an inlet.

Enable the user when relocating a catch basin to view the catchment boundary as the inlet location is adjusted. Thus, acting as a dynamic and transparent view of the catchment boundary for the inlet at the new location. This will simplify the work...

Add the ability in a Plan Annotation Group to label non-curve PI's with the deflection angle

I would like to request a new alignment annotation that labels a non-curve PI in a horizontal alignment with the station, the deflection and piece of text that says "no curve". I can create the text favorite that displays the station and the text ...

Export to IFC/Export to SHP/Export Geometry to reprojected coordinate system

Part of our design process includes exporting Geometry lines to XML and exporting both IFC and SHP files. These assets get loaded into our GIS system. However, during the design process, we design off of a modified coordinate system, and our GIS s...

Annotate part of element name on cross sections and profiles

I want to be able to annotate the names (and item type properties) of utilities on cross sections and profiles. For example, if there are 10 water pipes that have been surveyed and imported as 3D linear elements they will have unique feature names...

Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

Superelevation Frame Annotation can annotate the 0% cross slope location

As part of the profile superelevation annotation, the annotation currently cannot annotate the location where the superelevation is 0%. This would be helpful to show in plans and for designers to easily see the station this point is at.
