Ability for Cross Sections to be split or have match lines if the Model Extend Outside of Default limits

Currently our DOTs require that if elements are outside the width of the default limit, the user needs to create a matchline and/or split the cross sections. Currently this is a very manual process. This should be more automated.

Have the ability to automatically change the size of nodes based on inflow required and the size of the pipes connecting to the node

There is usually more than one option for inlets which have different capacities. It would be helpful to have the software select from these options to reduce errors. Also nodes often need to be increased in size when a pipe exceeds the size of th...

Include all of the functionality of UDX into the Items programming and vice versa. Also make the coding functions the same

With the increase in requirements of information to be provided with models it would be easier to have both of these the same so the coding could be shared.

Allow for custom line styles to be synced with "update from dgn lib"

Add "Set Feature Definition" Tool to the Feature Definition Tool Bar

The "Set Feature Definition" Tool should be added to the Feature Definition Tool Bar rather than having to go digging around to find it. It coincides with "Match Feature Definition" which is already part of the tool bar.

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...

Split Corridor Function

I propose to add the possibility of dividing corridors with the retention of all attributes and elements such as point controls, feature definitions, keystations, etc. It can be seen in the programme files that such an intention to introduce a fea...
