Access Object Sub-entity Layers via the API |
| Make the layers of Civil 3D sub-entities available via the API so we can use tools like the AutoCAD/Express layer tools to change the layer properties.
For example, I want to be able to pick a contour that is part of a Civil 3D surface and turn off the layer the contour is on. |

Create Multiple Feature Lines from Corridor |
| I would like to be able to select the corridor lines with a crossing/window, using multiple picks and also by specifying the codes and have the program create feature lines for all selected corridor lines.

Change the Grading Criteria of an Existing Grading |
| I would like to be able to change the grading criteria of a previously created grading.
There are times when I have created a grading using, lets say, a Distance and Slope criteria. Later I want to change that to a Distance and Elevation Difference criteria. Currently the only way to do that is to erase the grading and make a new one. This is a real problem if the are additional gradings created from the one that I want to change.
A logical place to put this would be in the Grading Properties. The criteria is listed there but it cannot be changed. |
