2.5 Features

For 2.5 Keyboard camera navigation: ASDW and CTRL+Arrow = Pan camera SHIFT+Arrow = Rotate camera Save paused traffic ( would hold in place when changing phases and when save->exit->load file) Periodically auto-save working file (Desktop version). Include customizable settings for save location & save interval? Striping color shortcuts: New UI buttons for clickable standard color selections when selecting striping: White (R=1, G=1, B=1) Yellow (R=1, G=1, B=0) Orange (R=1, G=0.5, B=0.0) Cloud Customization: Add Environment Setting to raise/lower clouds Add Environment Setting to adjust cloud density Set default height to 600 Lower minimum Striping width to 4" Increase maximum Striping Length to 15' Add vertical leader line toggle for Width Bounds Add Override Dimension option for Width Bounds Add independent label style (color, font, etc.) instead of duplicating Total Width style Detect version on login, add notification message box Imported Asset Retexturing Create link to text file to pre-populate user-defined Subscription ID with a blank User Name (and name input pulled down if possible) if filename exists.

For 3.0 Low Priority + Low Effort Font Size input for Auto Section Labels Option to turn off Left & Right section label leaders instead of both High Priority + High Effort Copy & Paste Placed Assets and Custom Labels - Would work best with Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts. Example: Select an asset or custom label, press Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard. Pressing Ctrl+V begins placement of that asset or label (with all scales/rotations/fonts/text inputs/transparency/misc settings except location), then user would left-click to place that copied asset or label somewhere else in the model. Rotate Phase - ideally "per phase" setting so that a bridge section phase can be rotated perpendicular to a roadway phase and stacked in Layout Mode. Alternatively - Create Placeable Asset from Phase (would allow for full bridge section to be modeled, then placed and turned in a different phase. Touch Screen Navigation - incorporate with cloud access + tablet users Low Priority + Unknown Effort Delete linked striping when deleting the section to which it's linked Placed Asset + Custom Label Gizmo Scale Arrows - add small up/down arrow alongside the gizmo that proportionately scales the asset or label when clicking and dragging the arrow Save Environment settings per phase: Make Environment settings unique & saveable for individual phases. Likely also requires adding "copy environment" and "paste environment" buttons so that these settings could be transferred to other active phases/save files. Save Section Length setting per phase: Duplicate Phase maintains custom section length New Blank Phase starts at 100' default Consider how this might function in Layout Mode - particularly with horizontal layout and multiple phases/lengths Automatically shorten the auto-section label box to remove the bottom line (dimension text line) if the following 3 criteria are met: Hide Units is toggled on Override Dimension is toggled on Override Dimension Text is blank Tie increased cloud density to diffused lighting Low Priority + High Effort* Hierarchy Folder tools: Add ability to select multiple adjacent sections in hierarchy and wrap all with folder at once. Add function to duplicate folder, which would duplicate all sections/striping within the folder. Add function to flip folder, which would rearrange/mirror the section order in addition to flipping individual section traffic/elements/etc Copy & Paste Full Section - supplements Duplicate command. Ctrl+C would copy the full section, including all settings (auto labeling, traffic, underground pipes, earth layers) and any assets and custom labels placed on that section. Ctrl+V would begin a section placement function where the user can pick a spot in the model to place it (similar to blue highlight mode when adding or moving a section). Ideally clipboard could hold these for use in other phases and even other save files. Additional Repeating Section Assets - if Primary & Seconday section assets are populated, show drop down for a third section asset, then (if third is also populated), a fourth. Probably only need a max of 4 or 5. Consider renaming so we don't get into "tertiary" or "quarternary"? Replace Section Feature - add right-click function to replace selected section. Dropdown list would appear with list of all sections. After selecting, a pop up would ask "Keep width?". If yes, the section is replaced with the new one with the same width. If no the section is replaced by the new section with it's default width. Advanced Weather Settings in Environment: Rain/Snow/Wind Day/Night Default Environment shortcuts - create shortcut buttons in the Environment settings where "Day" would be the current defaultproject environment settings and "Night" would change inner/outer gradients to black and Time of Day to 24.00. Maybe create & add other shortcuts like Dusk, Sunrise, Sunset, Generic (white background), and Vignette (black outer gradient) Custom/Preset Retaining Wall - add ability to change textures Water Plane - add ability to change color Library Asset Retexturing Merge Section labels function
