Existing Top of Rail Elevations

Needs a more efficient way to annotate existing top of rail elevations in a profile view.

Place Civil Cell on Referenced Survey Feature

I would like the ability to place a civil cell along a survey feature that is referenced. We use a simple civil cell and cross sections to help compute existing pavement cross slopes.

label contours

label contours from inroads. there are times we have to label elevated "graphic" lines (aka contours and or benches without having a terrain model). was very helpful in inroads)

add distance between VPI to annotations in profiles

We need this to label our profiles optimally there'd be two values, once the horizontal (projected) distance and once the true (slanted) distance between to VPI's

Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section

For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.

Switching between referenced OBD models from an ORD file (after attachment).

If multiple bridge options are required, placing these options within the same dgn, but in separate models is a good practice. However, from ORD trying to change which OBD model is viewed (after it's been attached) does not work. It can be reattac...

Be able to view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Geometry Points

I can view on & off "Name, Field Code, Elevations, & Descriptions" for Survey Points but for Geometry Points you have to annotate text graphics into your model. Seems to me that you should be able to view those the same weather it's a Geom...

Dimension display for skewed slopes

Would like to be able to have slope dimensions show a suffix of (SK) when showing skewed slopes or be able to define it to display with dual dimensions. The dual dimensions would show the actual plotted skewed slope 5.74:1(SK) and the designed slo...

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...

Add extra Coloum which shows Delta Value in Geometry Report at PC, PT, No Curve PI, SC and CS

Alerts users to the existence of "kinks" in horizontal alignments. These "kinks" are where the back and ahead tangents at PCs and PTs of curves are not on the same bearing. There is a small tolerance built in to eliminate rounding errors.
