Improvements that can be made to the Sample Line Materials Setup Box

1. There is no way to sort or “re-order materials” in either the main dialog. OR the Criteria Dialog. Very frustrating!

2. Structures added manually can’t be deleted (this is definitely a bug!)

3. When creating large criteria or editing manually. It would be good if the “delete” key worked and multiple lines can be selected at once and deleted. As having to go up to that red cross can be very time consuming when editing large criteria etc. Particularly when everytime you delete something the selection moves completely away from where you were working.

4. Find/replace functionality on the names used in the criteria would also save a lot of time as well. You want to use the criteria on a different area of your design and all you need to do is change a suffix. Otherwise the “map objects by name” doesn’t work (find replace functionality in every civil 3d list box would save a lot of time)

5. It would be excellent if shape codes could be split somewhat by a surface. So (area volume in shape code above <selected surface>/area volume in shape code below <selected surface>. This negates having to create – 4-5 extra surfaces to calculate complex geometry represented by a shape.
