Combining Properties Menus

It would be super helpful if I didn't have to search two different property menus for where to change specific properties. If the general properties menu and the ORD DU properties menu could be more centralized into one properties menu, this would...

Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.

External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.

Allow the road slope to exceed the gutter cross slope

My state agency commonly uses gutters with a 4% cross slope. The maximum superelevation rate is 7%. The gutter slope stays at 4% in this situation. Spread does not compute in this scenario because "A depressed gutter must have a Gutter Cross Slope...

Show the Link Size within the Link Summary Tab

The window that pops up after a hydraulic model run for design or analysis includes a "Calculation Detailed Summary". The Link Summary tab does not currently show the designed link size. Showing the link size in the Link Summary tab will allow the...

Automatically adjust structure Hight to include pipe thickness

it would be more accurate to calculate the structure Height if when a pipe is connected to a structure that the bottom base slab was adjusted to be below the wall of the pipe. this would also make the 3D model look better.
