Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...

work from space

we should be working from 3D space to place drawing our model. being able to place lines on or offset from a known point elevation to another. When looking at a point in a view window if moving that point in that orientation moves it along that pl...

Line info

When drawing a line, I should be able to assign a start elevation or associate it with a surveyed point then do the same thing at the end point. Be able to add a vertex and associate an elevation at that point. That line now has x,y,z data that ca...

Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...
