editing finished surface

When a road/plot is added the finish surface displays this, and then ties back to the base surface as soon as possible. While I can add batters/features to a road/plot to control how this is tied into the finished surface, the issue still remains ...

Multiple Surface Cross Sections

The ability to create a regular grid of surface cross sections at set intervals will be very useful - similar to the Sections command available within PDS. This would need to identify the cross section positions on the layout plan and identify the...

better error reporting

when there is an error with an alignment, the software doesn't tell you where that error actually. You just get the red "i" next to the alignment, saying 2road/feature self interesects" or "cannot merge with finished surface" This is very frustrat...

better layer functions

Items are drawn on whatever layer you happen to be using at the time, rather than breaking down various entities to a corresponding layer. For example, when placing a road all the information for that road is on a single layer and various colours ...

Incorporate overland flow analysis with below ground drainage design

Provide ability to either have overland flow draining into a pipe network or flooding out of a pipe network to be able to model resulting overland flow paths / flood extents

When modelling overland flows, need the ability to easily add swales / channels to the finished surface

Using the 'Modify levels' command to create a swale feature works, however, this does not create an entity that can be either revised or deleted.
