Ability to add "lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules

An option to add "geometry lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules would be really useful to make the geometry behave as you wish. As an example it could be the center point of a radius so that the radius keeps it ...

Insert Vertex tool

Tool that adds vertex at chosen interval to a selected element segments. The "facet" tool is supposed to achieve this, but it is not designed to respect original element vertexes. So it ends up modifing the element path. The tool should work insid...

Ability to change appearance of points generated from Equal Space Points command

With the Equal Space Points command, points are generated to mark intervals along an element. However, these points are very difficult to see and use. In Autocad, the command PTYPE allows you to change point styles to different shapes and sizes to...

Show location in plan while in profile

Currently you can use "analyze point" to see where you are at in the plan view while in a profile. I want the location line in plan to show up all the time while I am in a profile so I know where I am at.

Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..

Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Horizontal Offset Option for Geometric Points

We are seeking the ability to specify a horizontal offset from a reference when placing and modifying geometric points. Currently, options for vertical offset (delta elevation from reference) and rotation offset (from reference) are available for ...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.

Re-introduce "Connect element" from Power RailTrack

In Power RailTrack and before that in Inrail there was a tool called something like "connect element" or something quite similar. What it did was to connect an element belonging to the alignment but was not in its correct location to the alignment...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...
