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.

Manage Modifications Apply to Lines and Other Annotation Elements Besides Text

Its nice that Manage Modifications was added for text, but FAR TO OFTEN, text and other elements are also annotated, and then modified. If the Text is moved, then it remains, but the lines, cells, etc that are a part of the text annotation always ...

Improve Complex Terrains - Do not process terrain until all terrains are added and ordered

When creating complex terrains each time a terrain is added the software processes the new terrain. This can take a long time if multiple terrains are added and reordered to a complex terrain. Please edit the software to process the terrain only w...

Notification/warning if alignment doesn't have active profile.

If an aligmment has a vertical profile, can we please ensure that it's active. The profile creation process is labourious in this software, and to find out that your profiles are empty at the end of this process as there weren't active isn't great...

Update the tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" to add better functionality when applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework

The tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" can currently be applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework, but it doesn't work very well at all, assuming due to it's reliance on stroking. It is often much more efficient/simple to create certain design ...

Convert smart civil annotation to plain text

The ability to easily convert smart civil annotations to plain text will make it much easier to share annotations with other disciplines in DWG format. Also, sometimes we just do not want smart annotations within our drawings. Currently have to do...

Openroads designer annotation groups extend the white space management to all items

Right now only the text element can have the "manage modification" turn to true. This mean that only text will not move when doing annotation. The white space management, or manage modification to placement annotation should be avaiable to all ite...

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.

unmerge single point tool in template menu

Currently there is a menu option to unmerge points for components, it would be nice to just unmerge a single point from both components and not all the points.

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...
