Parametric Constraints Labels Stations Overlaps

Is there a way we can see if there is an overlap in the stations in parametric constraints labels? Like in InRoads, it highlights in orange color if there is an overlap in stations with same labels. This will help and save lot of design time, if t...

GenerativeComponents - Feature Definition tool Node

Special Node/Option for Full recognition (reading civil information) and creation of Feature Definitions in GenerativeComponents. GC & Civil Packages would benefit greatly if we could automate the creation of Civil Lines (2D/3D) for subsequen...

Feature Lines Similar to Civil 3D

It would be nice to be able to graphically change elevation and slope of an element similar to feature lines in Civil 3D. Made it really quick to create break lines and grade areas without have to go into a profile view and create a vertical profi...

See Coordinates of Objects in Model Space

Say if I had pre-cast units (say rectangular for ease of the idea), you can see the coordinates of the 4 bottom corners (or other named points) of the pre-cast unit if I click on it. This would show up in model space view as shown: https://imgur.c...

In the Create Template editor add a list similar to the Point Name List for Components

This would enable users to quickly edit the component feature definitions for templates in the library.

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

Overlap detection in Corridor Objects

I noticed that template ranges can overlap and there is no obvious indication that this is occurring. Ideally over lapping station ranges should highlight in red to draw attention to it.

Being able to put a feature definition on points created around a circular or arc template component.

When using a circle or an arc in a template component, the software is building linestrings on default level in the 3d model. It is possible to turn off these lines if the Null Point Linear Feature Option is set to False in the template feature de...

Template Switches and Triggers Built Into Corridor Rather Than Templates

Using display rules can be very difficult when you have nearly identical components on top of one another. We've all tried to eliminate this difficulty by using a ton of different templates, but that can be even worse when conditions keep changing...
