Chevron Pavement Marking Tool

This tool would replace the old Geopak tool that created chevrons with minimal effort. It's certainly possible to create chevrons by hand with the current tools, but it takes significantly more time for what was a pretty quick task. I think the ol...

get quick slope measurement from dynamic cross section based off alignment (not corridor!)

I know if you open dynamic cross sections based off a corridor you can place temporary dimensions. but if you open a dynamic cross section based off the alignment you cannot place temporary dimension lines. I need an easy way to get what slope a g...

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...

Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

A new component called "Reference Point" to use when creating more complex templates that can "Call" other templates from the library that also uses prefixes, etc...

Viewing Corridor Object and Dynamic Cross Section Tools in Read-Only

I sometimes have to look at another user's Corridor file to get additional details. If I reference in their file or open it read only, I'm not able to open up Corridor Objects to see what template they are using. It would be useful to allow me to ...

Constraint Labels need to come from a list stored in the ITL

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Label Name, it would be powerful to have the possibility to choose an existing Label Name from a dropdown-list in the dialog box when building Point Constraints in a civil template. The dropdown-list must s...

Reflect template for template drop

It would be very helpful if we could reflect a template while assigning it to a template drop. Templates currently can only be placed in the direction they were created, from template origin "out". This requires a duplication of templates, as sepa...
