Allow profile element selection in Project Profile to Element tool

I use Project Profile to Element when grading intersections, but often times the roadway centerline has multiple profile elements (similar to how InRoads had multiple vertical alignments). I could go to the alignment file, set active the one I wan...

Add Survey Feature Definitions to Horizontal Feature Constraint Target List

Add the ability to target survey Feature Definitions with Horizontal Feature Constraints on Points within Templates. There is a deliverable required on surveyors to show cross sections of their surveyed surface where sections within the surface ha...

The ability to hold geometry segments and geometry segments end points when doing an adjusted.

The ability to hold geometry segments and geometry segments end points when doing an adjusted. For example, if I have surveyed monuments I would like to hold to but adjust the rest of the geometry that is not held to a monument.

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...

Point Control Limits

When setting a point control reference in InRoads, it would automatically set the limits to the start and end of that feature. I would like to see this as an option instead of only being able to lock to the start or end of the corridor/alignment. ...

Set Minimum and Maximum Cover Constraints to the Conduit Catalog, not the Prototype

Pipe standards vary their minimum and maximum pipe cover values based on the size of the pipes. There needs to be an ability to set this per conduit size so that when running a design you can consider these different cover depths. As of now, you w...

Rectangle feature

Openroads Horizontal Geometry has lines, arcs, and circle features. Add a rectangular civil geometry element. This would be used for site grading (building pad), instead of drawing 4 individual civil geometry lines and complexing together, a recta...

Display template constraints in Plan View

In the Template library, constraints are added to define relationships between points in the template which become linear features in the corridor model. In plan view, display a graphic indicator that identifies the constraints/relationship betwee...

Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...

Set Feature Definition - Use Active Feature Definition

Unlike many of the civil tools, the Set Feature Definition tool does not have an option to use active feature definition. This tool is commonly used with Match Feature Definition, which sets the active feature from selected element. Add option for...
