Normal/parallel offset in vertical profile

In ORD it is possible to do a Profile Offset Transition. This methode makes a vertical offset. In case of a slope, the difference between the vertical offset and the normal/parallel offset is different. For large slopes, this is differences is too...

Export Geometry XML from Read Only File

We have many users on the survey side that need to quickly jump in a design file and export out an alignment xml for staking. Non-Roadway users do not have write access to these files and the export geometry tool cannot be used in a read only file...

Add ability for Geometry build to automate station equations when joining complex geometry

In the Geometry Builder Edit, I can pick multiple geometry complex alignments and add them to create a 'combined' geometry. When I pick the multiple geometry elements and combine them, it starts with the alignment stationing of the first selected ...

Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...
