What are the Rules for where and when one can use Insert or Delete Vertex with Civil Geometry - in Plan and/or Profile?
My experience has shown it is often not allowed but no special prompts are given - just that nothing happens when you try to use it..

It looks like insert vertex is not permitted in this specific workflow.
The same workflow when replacing "Remove Rules" by "Drop" does work because the resulting element is a "line string" instead of a "profile".It is also possible to add rules to the previous and it does also work but to my point of view "drop" is better in this workflow.
I don't see any reason why we can't insert a vertex in a profile we got by the first workflow.Something that doesn't look to be critical or a real issue, but if we can remove this limitation it would be better.

We really need tools like the Add/Remove/Move PI/VPI tools of the legacy products. A "warning" that enabling this edit will release and dependencies, resulting in a basic ruled alignment would be acceptable. Likewise, the Horizontal/Vertical Element tools of InRoads Application Add-In is also pretty much a necessity.
I often find myself taking far longer to accomplish alignment tasks in Ss4 than I would in Ss2.
