Merge and separate geometry with dependencies from and into multiple DGNs

When you have multiple files with geometry which reference each other, I think there should be a tool to allow you to merge those DGN's into one without losing relationships e.g. I can merge my main alignment file and the file which contains my ch...

Create a tool for parametric turnout tie placement, with specific ties and spacing

The idea is similar to parametric civil cell: we need a tool to place the ties along the turnout. The ties must be of different lengths, placed at different spacing, and must follow the alignments from and to specifically identified points. The ti...

defining dynamic vehicle envelope for rail vehicles: need missing parameters

when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...

Ability to Separate Tangents / Gradients from Adjacent Tangents / Gradients after Alignment Simplification

When making alignment modifications by manipulating tangents (Horizontal Alignments) or gradients (Vertical Alignment) we prefer to limit extents of changes to only one tangent / gradient at a time. This is possible, when alignments are built with...

implement Canadian CSA S6 standards in Leap Bridge Steel and make a tutorial with it

implement Canadian CSA S6 standards in Leap Bridge Steel and make a tutorial with it We need 3 tutorials to apply Canadian CSA S6 standards in 1. Leap Bridge concrete, 2. Leap bridge steel and 3. RM bridge with "canadian" steps.

Enable Canadian CSA S6 Design Standards in LEAP Steel

Currently, the LEAP Steel module only supports AASHTO design standards, whereas the LEAP Concrete module allows users to select both AASHTO and Canadian CSA S6 standards for structural design. This limitation represents a significant issue for our...

Custom Linestyles Drawn in a Profile View do not scale

When Drawing a Custom Linestyle in a Profile view. The linestyle is scaled with the vertical exaggeration. This makes the linestyle unreadable, and therefore cannot have custom linestyles in profile view unless re-drawn in the drawing model, which...

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

Station Equations - Add expressions for item types

In item types, there are not expressions to pull the values of station equations. We can get the start/end station of an alignment, but not the station equations. It would be helpful to have an expression for station equation ahead[0], station equ...
