Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN

Develop and Annotate Partial Geometry

In my experience, it's common to tie a proposed vertical alignment into an existing vertical curve. This can be easily done with the geometry tools. However, the annotation is only drawn to where the proposed geometry terminates. While technically...

Verify Turnout

Use the Geometry Connector with start and end elements chosen as turnouts. The converged result gives a disconnection between the regression alignment and the turnout. You can only discover it by zooming in to the closest possible view. A "Verify ...

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Analyze Point improvement to display slope in a vertical radius.

It is often necessary to check the slope in a specific point/section of a vertical curve, but this cannot be done right now with the "Analyze Point" tool. No matter where on the alignment I click the slope that displays is the slope of the first v...

Drainage Civil Labels/Annotation Groups Recognize Applicable Pipe Inverts

Currently, drainage structures require various civil labels to be set up for the various numbers pipe inverts coming into a structure (0-5 possible). It would be beneficial if the civil labels and annotation groups automatically annotated and upda...

Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

Add the ability to calculate spread on two sides of a median barrier inlet

There are tens of thousands of barrier inlets on barrier medians throughout the US. Spread needs to be calculated on both sides, with the overall flow being added to the storm sewer system. Currently, the only way to do this is to create to halves...
