Subforums

Any chance this forum will be changed to have sub-forums for the different civil/land dev products (InRoads, PowerCivil, Geopak, etc.)

  • Be Communities gives us a great opportunity to "start over" with a much simpler approach than what existed in the discussion groups. Given the ever increasing overlap with the Road Design products (e.g. the days where it is "only GEOPAK", "only InRoads", or "only MX" are in the past and not in then future), there is likely to be information discussed for one product that all involved with Road Design can benefit from. Suffice to say that we are not planning to create any sub-forums until there is necessary and sufficient reason to do so.

      

  • Phil,

    I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I have to disagree with you on this one.  I'd prefer the subforums for GPK, IR, and MX.  Despite more and more common functionality, most of the threads on this forum are still specific to each software.  Since many thread titles don't have which software or version they are referring to, you have to read every posting to see if it is even a concern.

    Looking at all of the Geopak and MX threads, there is not a single one that would apply to me as an IR user.  There is only a very small number of threads that are generic civil questions that could apply to a user of any of these.  These types of threads could stay here, but the remainder could go under separate subforums until such time that you completely merge the 3 software packages, which I am assuming won't happen in the short term future.
