Enable ModelBuilder to automatically import and apply node rotation attributes for D&U elements

ModelBuilder does not currently handle node rotation/orientation for D&U in ORD, and rotation is expected to be set manually after import. It'd help save time if we could specify a reference element for relative rotation during the import proc...

In the Extract From Graphic Tool, the Link Feature section should include a way to select No Feature Definition just like the Node Feature section.

This is an enhancement request that stems from a found defect in the tool. As soon as a link feature is selected, it will retain that information in user preferences. There should be a way to make the tool go back to a 'default' state easily.

Cross Section drawing/sheet models should honor level On/Off from 3D models without refresh

Summary: When users turn levels off in the Default 3D models, that display state does not carry into cross section drawing/sheet models without opening them more than once. This creates unexpected sheet output where items that are intentionally hi...

Profile Annotation.Parabola Sight Distance editable

The formula for the Text Favorite "Profile Annotation.Parabola Sight Distance" appears to be hard-coded into the software. When SSD is not restricted by the curve (A < 1.75%), the output is listed as "INF'". Is it possible to make this output e...

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...
