Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Surface Template - Vertical offset

When working on sites and parking lot, sometimes we create a grading terrain to construct the slopes and low points than apply to it the pavement surface template. To model the sidewalks (think of a parking lot island) we create a clipped terrain ...

Civil Labeler - Along Reference Line

Currently, we can label an element at a specified interval along that element. However, we like to label elements at a specified interval not along that specific element, but rather at an interval along the alignment. Could we add the option to la...

Geometry manipulator handles on offsets do not overlap with manipulator text with zero offset

Currently when offsetting elements, different manipulator handles appear, however unless you go into the preferences and changes the arrow manipulator size, it is very difficult or impossible to select the trim/extend manipulator handle because it...

Improve Geometry Builder interface

Often Surveyors are responsible for generating exi sting alignments from limited data (in plans or collected in field.) We have identified that using the Geometry Builder can be a "wo rkaround" but it is clunky and there are more steps involved th...

Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...

"Format Painter" for OBM components

We need a way to intelligently copy/replicate placement parameters from one object to another. Like wingwalls, etc. Yes, I know you can add things to the workset library, but that doesn't cover offsets, stationing relations, etc. Similarly, it won...

Add Ability to Create Terrain from Survey in a Reference File

Now that we have to ability to process a survey without having it automatically create a terrain, we would like to be able to use the Create Terrain from Survey command when the Survey is in a Reference File. In order to federate our data, we pref...

Civil Labeler - Use cell for Border Frame

We would like an option to use a cell instead of the provided "Civil Shapes" for a border. Reasons for this need: Current shapes are not able to be seen by users not using Civil Product We may have a shape with ore complexity needed. Current shape...

Tool Names need to be consistent

Tool names need to be consistent everywhere. If you go to the tool called "Direction", the tool that opens up looks to have a name of "Change Curve Direction" as the title. if you open to tool called "Coordinate System", the title of the dialog th...
