End Area Earthwork Corrections for Curvature

End Area Volumes are still a contractual requirement on projects. We need a tool to correct the earthwork calculations around curves like the GEOPAK “Centroid Adjustment” tool that did that correction and provided a summary of the centroid locatio...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Split Cross Sections if Elements in Model Extend Outside of Default Width.

Currently our DOT requires that if ROW lines (or any element in the corridor) are outside the width of the default XS width, the user needs to create an extension or split the XS's to be able to show all design elements and ROW labels. Currently t...
