Profile Superelevation annotation based on Crossfall to a Linear feature

For almost all our projects we require very precise crossfall transitioning at tie-ins to existing and situations at ramps where we project crossfall from one carriageway to another.


It is not practical for us to report crossfall and copy the values into our superelevation section to simply get it annotated on Profiles. In our legacy software this was a simple process to choose 2 strings and it would annotate them.


One way to do this could be to allow an Alias for Crossfall measurement, perhaps by listing plan geometry or, if we project its profile, its Profile and give users an option to annotate superelevation using crossfall to another linear feature. In order to locate where to annotate a "Crossfall change tolerance" could be added to control at what change in crossfall between points to annotate the superelevation and options to "Only annotate Start/End of constant Crossfall".


More Generally, the ability to annotate slope/crossfall to another element is functionaliity that would be very useful for optioneering and reporting of geometric data during project delivery.
