Integrated civil platform

Robert and Dan - Thanks for your replies.  I think what Robert hit on is what I am looking for, that the new platform is in the works.  From both of your replies I have a clarifying question for both of you, but first let me explain the context of the question.  

All of the work I do is in a riverine environment.  All of the work we perform involves some type of hydraulic modeling and often design work.  Our design work consists of a varitey of bank protection components, levees, grade control, etc.  I don't desgin roads or bridges though the work I do is often related to them.  In general our design work is similar to basic earthwork, but with more complexity becuase of it being in a river.  There is no software platform out there that is tailored to what we do, so we are always taking something like InRoads and using the tools in a very non standard way.  Because of this I am always looking for better ways to do the work we do, and trying to find new tools that might better fit our workflow.  The interest in GEOPAK is primarily because of the dynamic editing of features as I think this might enhance our design process compared to what we currently do in InRoads.  

So, with InRoads and GEOPAK in mind, is the dynamic editing in GEOPAK a useful and powerful tool that would be beneficial to invest the time in to learn it (compared to similar capabilities in InRoads)?  And with regard to my last question, is this a component that would probably be in any future civil platforms?

 PS I have sent the attached letter to Bentley but never heard anything back.  Any thoughts from either of you?

 Thanks.

Hi Dusty,

 The Modeler component of GEOPAK is specifically designed to deal with "non-linear" design situations that you would encounter doing stream/river/ditch/channel redesign and restoration.

We have a number of custromers using Modeler who do that specific work...

If you'd like to contact me directly, I'd be more than happy to discuss a "typical" project with you, maybe work through a solution with you to ensure you are comfortable that this toolset will fit your requirements.
