All-in-One Regression Tool

When performing regressions, we'd like a tool that functions similarly to the Corridor Objects tool: have multiple functionalities all in one dialog. If we could perform regressions and have access to things like offsets, status (use, ignore, fixe...

Cross Section Annotation for existing and design terrain models

In the created cross sections for the existing and multiple design terrain (surface), we need to annotate the 1) height difference between the terrain model(s); Also, 2) need to annotate the offset (length) from the point to the cutting line. This...

Warn users while detaching references whose labels are annotated in active file

civil labeler allows us to label civil geometry elements from reference files. Simply placing labels appears to apply the civil schema to the active dgn file.User like to have a warning when users detach reference files whose elements are labeled ...

Specific model option for annotation

Would be nice to have an option to run an 'drawing model annotation' for specific models rather than just all or one. This could be helpful for cross section annotation if we want to use different annotation groups for different ranges of the cros...

Create a rule to set drainage node to (active terrain) when setting elevation reference

Presently when setting reference elevation for the node it lets you set it to the active terrain but does not rule it to the (active terrain). If this were done the inlet tops would automatically adjust as the design terrain changes.

ORD Drainage - Make item Type Properties available in flex tables.

when adding columns to flex tables we need the ability to add item type properties to the flex tables. similar to how we can create UDX properties and show them on flex tables.

Station Equations - Add expressions for item types

In item types, there are not expressions to pull the values of station equations. We can get the start/end station of an alignment, but not the station equations. It would be helpful to have an expression for station equation ahead[0], station equ...

Create a tool for parametric turnout tie placement, with specific ties and spacing

The idea is similar to parametric civil cell: we need a tool to place the ties along the turnout. The ties must be of different lengths, placed at different spacing, and must follow the alignments from and to specifically identified points. The ti...

defining dynamic vehicle envelope for rail vehicles: need missing parameters

when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...

Ability to have corridor/linear template pivot at end of alignment

Currently when developing a object that is at a skew, whether it be a road, bridge, culvert, or other detail modeling. If the start/end of the object is at a skew compared to the alignment that it is attached to, it is difficult to model. The user...
