Create a button/command that creates a linked 3D model associated with the active 2D model

When we create a new file we often start with a 2D seed with only one 2D model in it. We often would like to have a linked 3D model associated with that 2D model. It would be great to have a simple button that force creates the linked 3D model.

Invert Terrain Elevation

Add option to set forward/backward depth and forward/backward display while creating the cross section sheets.

When making named boundaries we were not able to select any settings or seed files that would let us select the options for forward/backward depth and forward/backward display. This means we had to go into each named boundary individually. Its imp...

Calculating Multiple Polygon Volumes using Analyze Volume from Terrain Model

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.

This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.

Create Terrain from reprojected reference file elements

The terrain creation tools don't work well when using elements from reference files that are reprojected from other coordinate systems. This seems to be true for many of the terrain creation tools. Some tools don't allow the elements from the repr...
