An extremely annoying feature of Civil 3D tables is that row spacing or horizontal/vertical margin spacing can’t be controlled. I consider this a bug…

Editable Surface/Civil 3D object dependency diagram
This would be awesome… the ability to generate a dynamic object dependency graph in Civil 3D. Not only that but an editable object dependency graph!!
- You could change the dependent surfaces of a volume surface by deleting/drawing arrows..
- You could change the build definition of objects with a properties box on the side
- Link objects to quantity takeoff reports etc
Really a lot of things you could do here if you put enough of thought into it..
Material Take off – Material in Shape Above/Below a Surface
Be awesome if you could calculate material in a shape code above/below a surface
Batch Edit Surface Build Definitions
If the build definitions for surfaces where in the properties dialog box and they could be batch edited by selecting multiple surfaces.. that would save so much time!
Instead I have to right click properties on every single surface to do this!!
Sheet Set Manager – Timeout on Request
Sheet sets on slows networks cause problems, but this could be easily mitigated by adding a timeout feature on sheetset network requests.
If a file can’t be found in X seconds then stop checking…
The ability to turn off automatic updating of Material Take Off temporarily
Be great if you could turn off automatic updating of material take off calculation temporarily.
For some larger calculations every time I update the corridor it hangs forever
Quantity Takeoff Criteria Screen – Delete Mutiple Entries or Allow Delete Key Use
Managing materials in the Quantity Take off Browser could use a lot of work..
Great additions would include
- Find/Replace Ability
- Batch Replacement Ability
- Use of delete key to remove entries
- Been able to select multiple entries at once
Match Parameters Between Corridor Regions – Different Corridors
Be awesome if you could match parameters between corridor regions. As in a different corridor!
It would be also handy if this could be done in the prospector as well..Maybe on the right click menu.
Corridor Profile Target – Alignment Should be Selected Automatically from baseline
When specifying a profile target it should automatically know which alignment to use based on the baseline.
Data Shortcuts Editor – Browse Folder does not allow a pasted address!!
I wish I could paste an address into the data shortcuts editor so that I could quickly go to the correct data shortcuts folder. Instead I have to manually go find the path every time.
This would also be useful for the prospector too!!!
