Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.

It would be extremely helpful, if we were able to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies so that automation of the creation of new 'Custom Drainage Features' every time a drainage structure had a different bottom box (...

Allow the road slope to exceed the gutter cross slope

My state agency commonly uses gutters with a 4% cross slope. The maximum superelevation rate is 7%. The gutter slope stays at 4% in this situation. Spread does not compute in this scenario because "A depressed gutter must have a Gutter Cross Slope...

Enhancement to Create Project Node to Element Tool

There is currently not a way to project a node from the Drainage and Utility Model to an element (horizontal alignment’s profile model). Profile runs can be created and then projected onto the profile model by conduit linkage. With this enhancemen...

Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes

Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...

Land Use Areas from a Reference

It would be nice to extract Land Use Data from a reference file rather than requiring the Land Use Areas always be drawn in the main drainage design file. This would both cut down on clutter in the design file and also allow larger areas to be del...

Use Tabs to Separate Items for Each Design Element in ORD Drainage

It is cumbersome to have to scroll through several pages of information to design and review drainage elements. KYTC would like to see tabs used, similar to those used in InRoads S & S. Each element (storm sewers, strom sewer inlets, drainage ...

Name Changing Per Drainage Structure

When naming nodes, we usually associate that node name with the conduit, drainage area, and gutter name. But, if we have to update the node name (ex: 0401 to 0405), then we have to change all the other names manually. User is looking for possibili...
