Add surface to multiple drainage profiles quickly & in batch

I would like to be able to select multiple pipe profiles in the drainage and utilities tab and right click to add a surface to all of them at once. This will save a considerable amount of time - instead of needing to open each profile model indivi...

Alternate Surface Drop-Down List

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Name of Alternate Surfaces (AltSurf) when building your Civil Template, it would be nice to have the ability to choose an existing Name of AltSurf from a dropdown-list. The dropdown-list would show existing...

Improve retention of user inputs in inlets

Ensure that user-defined inlet values remain consistent and are not overwritten by prototype default values when minor changes are made elsewhere. This would preserve design intent during edits.

Static Drainage Profiles

Creates drainage profiles that are static (non-dynamic) that are very quick/simple to make (15-seconds), much like SS2 was, to better enable iterative design.

Flood Volumes - Surface analysis between three surfaces

It would be beneficial to have the ability to specify surface math logic - Above Existing, Below Proposed, and Below "Floodplain" (variable plane) to get good floodplain volumes.
