Horizontal Offset Option for Geometric Points

We are seeking the ability to specify a horizontal offset from a reference when placing and modifying geometric points. Currently, options for vertical offset (delta elevation from reference) and rotation offset (from reference) are available for ...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.

Re-introduce "Connect element" from Power RailTrack

In Power RailTrack and before that in Inrail there was a tool called something like "connect element" or something quite similar. What it did was to connect an element belonging to the alignment but was not in its correct location to the alignment...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Add Elevations to the Event Point List Table

The elevations of the event point can only be seen when one generated a Horizontal Alignment Event Point List Report. It would be better also if the elevations can be seen earlier in the Event Points List Table

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Create Geometry Points in Geometry Builder

When creating parcels in Geometry Builder, I would like the option to have it automatically add COGO/Geometry Points at the PIs and on-alignment points as I place the elements.

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection b...
