Utility Overhead Conduits/Nodes

Current Limitations Currently, creating overhead conductors between two "Overhead Nodes" (e.g., utility poles) results in a straight-line conduit. In reality, these lines always exhibit a natural sag due to gravity and tension forces. To model sag...

Annotate Slope between 2 Linear Geometries in Cross Section

2 x 3D linear geometries are created with the existing terrain. In cutting cross section, 2 points are displayed in a section. However, the slope value between 2 points are not able to annotated under annotation group.

Offset Horizontal Regression from Points

The ability to use an offset to create a single line alignment based on a regression line that was created by points. This ability would allow the user to create a centerline alignment based on monuments/survey points located a specified distance ...

Want the Edit Complex Terrain Model to show missing terrains

suppose a Complex terrain is created by combining multiple terrains. At some point thereafter if one of the individual terrains is deleted, if the "Edit Complex Model" tool is used the deleted terrain is simply gone. There's no indication that it ...

Add Active Terrain Elevation to Civil Analyze tool

Many users regularly need to get the existing elevation at a specific alignment location and there is currently no quick or easy way to do this. Adding additional Active Terrain elevation information on the Civil Analyze tool would give users quic...

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 ...

Configuration variable to control default path for .tiw files

When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.

Allow Annotation Groups to annotate with Label Definitions

Now that the Civil Labeler definitions are stored within a dgnlib, i think it would be really useful to combine some functionality. Annotation Groups allow for annotating with text, cells, or lines. Adding with Label Definition would allow an anno...

Add option to set forward/backward depth and forward/backward display while creating the cross section sheets.

When making named boundaries we were not able to select any settings or seed files that would let us select the options for forward/backward depth and forward/backward display. This means we had to go into each named boundary individually. Its imp...

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...
