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.

Allow for Hydraulic calculations and profile creation while using tap nodes

Tap nodes are incredibly useful but do not allow for hydraulic modeling or for profile runs. I'd prefer to use tap nodes over transitions because they are easier to use and do not break trunklines into segments. This would help with profiles, pipe...

Include the slope of a terrain into the OpenRoads Modelling/Horizontal/Place Point command from the Geometry command as in Drainage and Utilities/Layout/Place Node.

This would then allow the placement of items that need to be on a slope in an OpenRoads model without filling up the file with a lot of drainage data. An example of this a crash barrier impact attenuator.
