Allow Surface Template for Corridor Top/Bottom Meshes

It would be extremely powerful if Surface Templates could select and use Corridor Top or Bottom Meshes as their base surface. If these were ruled users could create irregular shaped pavement elements with ease. This is something currently very lab...

See all templates used within Template Dialogue

When using Create Template dialogue, it would be a good feature to have a section or list that could be pulled showing all of the templates used in the project folder.

Ability in Surface Creation to Move Backward

Ability in surface creation to move backward. For instance, proposed top mesh for retaining walls will never be correct, because the coping and barrier wall being outside of the wall requires the surface to move in the opposite direction. This can...

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...

Assign Feature Definition to Complex Geometry to automatically apply to parent elements of the complex

When using Set Feature Definition (FD) or change FD in Properties dialog, to assign / change a FD to a Complex Geometry, such process only affects the Complex Element entity itself, i.e. FDs of all geometry elements which the complex element is ma...

Allow Graphical and Tabular Editing Simultaneously

Within the Table Editor tool, provide the designer the ability to graphically edit the profile while simultaneously locking any particular VPI or grade in proximity to where they wish to make a change. This was an awesome feature in Vertical Geome...

Add "Do Not Connect Features" button to Corridor Objects Dialog

While modeling complex projects there has been many instances where I would like templates to not connect features between drops. My current workflow is to create a new corridor at these locations. One example is when a new roadway base course sec...

Add elevation ranges when measuring volume between terrains.

In Geopak, there was a tool under DTM Tools > Analysis > Volumes, where you could specify elevation ranges to calculate the volumes, while also taking into account the volumes between two TINs. You were able to specify multiple contour inter...

dynamic wireframe modeling

For modeling corners that is harder to do with templates, similar to Civil 3d, the ability to quickly manipulate elevation points and slopes on a 3d wireframe design would make designing curb ramps so much easier.
