Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Remember the Last‑Used Civil Label in Civil Labeler

Reassign/Reattach Civil Labels

It would be nice to have the ability to reattach civil labels to a new element or terrain. A good example is for jointing/geometric sheets with a lot of spot elevations. Fairly often a new terrain is created and the spots break and need to be repl...

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...
