Open Roads Corridor Editor Enhancements

Question

I've been using SS4 for 4 or 5 months now and miss several things that SS2 had in terms of editing corridor objects - point controls and parametric constraints: 
 
 In SS2 duplicate or overlapping parametric or point controls were highlighted so that it was easy to resolve issues. Now I have to try to sort through everything to figure out where I might have an issue. 
 
 Ability to synchronise more than one template a time - it takes a lot of clicking in the project explorer to individually select and synchronise every template that was changed if the template is used multiple times in a corridor . 
 
 I think in SS2 if a parametric constraint label was updated in the template and the template was synchornised in the Corridor Manager the parametric constraint list would auto update. Now if I rename one I have to go into corridor objects and manually edit each one to update it to the new name. At a minimum it would be nice to see that the name no longer exists by highlighting the control so I knew which ones to update. And the parametric constraints listed when you go to apply a new one in the drop down box should be sorted alphabetically to easily find them. 
 
 In the cross section view it would be nice to have the ability like in SS2 to right click on a point and see what point control or parametric constraint is controlling it to quickly identify and resolve issues. 
 
 Thanks. More ideas to come but those would be a big help in creating a better product.

Hi Neal, 
 
The following enhancements have been filed on your behalf: 
 
Highlight duplicate or overlapping parametric and point controls, Enhancement - 372239 
User would like for duplicate or overlapping parametric or point controls to be highlighted in SS4 as they were in SS2. 
 
Synchronize multiple templates at the same time, Enhancement - 372241 
User would like the ability to synchronize multiple templates at the same time as in SS2. 
 
Update parametric constraint label, Enhancement - 372242 
User would like for parametric constraint label to be updated if edited in the templates and templates synchronized, also be able to see that the name no longer exists by highlighting the control so they know which ones to update. Parametric constraints listed alphabetically in the drop down box would be helpful. 
 
Quickly identify and resolve point control or parametric constraint with right click, Enhancement - 372243 
User would like the ability to hover over a point in cross section viewer, right click on the point and see what point control or parametric constraint is controlling it to quickly identify and resolve issues. 
 
Thanks, 
Sanders
