[OR] Civil Geometry - Insert/Delete Vertex for Plan or Profile

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.

It looks like insert vertex is not permitted in this specific workflow.

Create a profile by slope or vertical offset from an element
Remove rules
try to insert a vertex: it doesn't work.

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.

When I have generated a profile from some type of offset/slope, I found I can remove the rule and then the profile is basically linestrings. If I select the profile, I can then drag a handle on top of an adjacent handle and is appears to merge them together. Seems like at that point, delete vertex should be possible and should work.

I think only the straight line portions will work. There are a great many profiles which result from the various commands which generate a spline graphic and inserting in a curved portion doesn't really make sense either.
