Skewed key stations

I had a situation where I wanted to model Interstate NB and SB as separate and cut them off of the median cl. I was unable to get the tie slopes to tie to existing ground when cutting cross sections. Adding "key stations" at a skew would resolve t...

Ablity to connect two nodes directly by flange

For the water supply project, in a situation where we have cast iron elements connected to the flange such as gate valves, hydrants, elbows, venturiers and plastic line pipes. There is no way to connect the two nodes directly through the flange. a...

Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Annotate the flow direction of a ditch in cross section drawing model.

Ability to annotate the flow direction of a ditch using an annotation group within a cross section drawing model. Currently the annotation exists only for plan view (See communities post here ). In Geopak we had a workflow to accomplish this task,...

Invert Terrain Elevation

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

Edit snap rules and constraints

Constructing horizontal or vertical geometry tangents with endpoint snap rule enabled creates a one-way relationship only allows editing from one direction. In contrast, MicroStation constraints allow for two way editing. For example the coinciden...

Calculating Multiple Polygon Volumes using Analyze Volume from Terrain Model

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...
