Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

Ability to change civil labeler border sizes

The borders that can be used for the civil labeler tool are different sizes. The ability to modify the sizes would help in adjusting the size based on the user needs. The dimension styles have this ability for the symbols used around the text.

New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration

Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration. Suggested variables wo...

Apply Multiple Deck Point Controls by Station Ranges

There are many circumstances where the same Deck Template point needs to be Point Controlled onto multiple linear features. Currently the user needs to either create multiple decks/support lines or create Geometry that traces the original and join...

Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...

Clipping export of 3D models using Named Boundaries to separate dgns

When exporting a model to IFC it is possible to export the model splitting to Named Boundary Groups. This is very powerfull because you can split your model and the volume reports in smaller parts. It would also be good if you can split the dgn to...
