Ability to set individual plot boundary levels and use these to adjust the finished surface (boundary to be any polygon shape)

Increasingly we are working on steep sites where we need to try and make usable gardens by setting gradients, often resulting in level changes at boundaries requiring retaining walls

Live Design running within BricsCAD

Given that there are other CAD based Packages other than those by AutoDesk, it would be useful to be able to run Live Design within others, probably one of the largest alternatives is BricsCAD - pair this with greater functionality within the Swep...

more flexibility on colours within Vehicle Swept Paths

It doesn’t appear (other than via shading – which sometimes over highlights the impact of the tracking on a layout) that there was no way of differentiating between wheels/body overhang lines for forward movements vs reversing. As an example, we s...

Adjusting ground levels on a finished surface

It would be good to adjust the finished surface once roads/plots/drainage have been designed. This would allow 'open space' areas to be created by levelling off parts of a site. Or to create bunds/banks as part of landscaping.

Bulk Earthworks - drainage

It's possible to set the level of the road construction to determine the amount of cut/fill required. Having the same functionality for drainage would be very useful (ideally picking up the design and levels from Flow). Variables which would be ne...

Merge wheel of vehicle tracking

Providing an option to “merge” the front/rear wheels so there is a single maximum extent of wheel line is shown on each side rather than a pair of lines (again sometimes simplifying this makes it easier to explain to others and makes drawings at s...
