The Intersection Manager introduces comprehensive control over your intersection designs, empowering users to refine project outcomes with enhanced accuracy. Key technical enhancements include:

• Efficient identification and selection of crossing and tee intersection roads, supported with auto-zoom capability.
• Configurable intersection crowning options, including ‘all crowned’ and ‘primary crowned’ configurations.
• The ability to convert crossing road strings into tee intersections, streamlining the process of plotting or publishing long section/profile views beyond the main road centreline.
• Bulk editing capabilities, allowing:
  • Deletion of all kerb returns.
  • Modification of radii and overriding templates.
  • Ignoring intersections (no vertical match or kerb returns) and preventing kerb return creation as required.

Reference Profiles enhance the vertical design of kerb lines by dynamically linking them to the road centreline. Key technical advantages include:

• Customisable chainage ranges for editing of the kerb lines to introduce crossfall transitions and compliance with longitudinal grade design standards.
• Automated creation for Reference Profiles and applying edits to the Road cross sections, ensuring consistent transitions on both left and right sides through intersections.
• Click button inclusion of Reference Profiles as Civil 3D profiles projected onto your road Profile Views (Civil 3D only) for plan production outputs.

This feature is particularly advantageous for jurisdictions requiring kerb line representation as Civil 3D profiles added to or instead of road centrelines.

Projected Profiles address the challenge of integrating independently designed road features, such as parking bays or knuckles, into main road profile views. Key functionality includes:

• Preservation of design IPs (PVIs) and vertical curves, enabling efficient and relevant profile view labels.
• Projection of fully designed profiles onto main road alignments, with options to retain or reproject vertical curve lengths from the source string.

The upgraded Sectional Volumes Tool delivers advanced functionality for earthworks volume assessment. Enhancements include:

• A refined interface with expanded output options, such as polylines, surfaces, Excel exports, and CAD tables.
• Graphical display enabling visual review and evaluation of cut/fill areas per section
• Refined cut/fill area calculation method and control over the section sampling for more accurate volume results
• Customisable cut/fill calculations, including clipping to specific section extents and adjustable datums for cut volume computations.

The Multi Viewer consolidates sectional data into a unified interface, providing:

• Integrated visualisation of cut/fill areas and volume tables.
• Export capabilities for documentation in CAD drawing (.dwg) files.

Project Storage enhances performance and facilitates cloud integration by:

• Storing operational data locally while securely packaging project data within a single drawing file.
• Streamlining project initiation through renamed and improved Pack Data Settings.
