-Template Creation Tool:
A Template creation tool would be nice to see. The template creation tool should be designed to allow users the freedom to create any object. Points should be controlled through parametric constraints or targeting.
-Terrain Template:
Other software packages use the idea of applying a template to a terrain and it is a game changer for designers. Placing a template on a terrain allows 3d volumetric components to be "draped" on a terrain. i.e., 6" of Topsoil can be placed below a terrain or 5" of pavement with 12" of Base can be place on a terrain of a parking lot. This allows designers to create a site grading design and apply material without using a corridor modeler. Ideas: The 0,0 point of the template controls the point materials are built vertically. Any component or shape is applied to the terrain from the 0,0 point. Widths and slopes don't matter for these types of templates. Terrain templates can be clipped by a 2d shape in plan view. This will allow multiple terrain templates can be used on a terrain if different materials are required.
-Corridors:
Multiple Corridors: Please allow for multiple corridors to be applied to an alignment. Long alignments require the design to be broken into pieces at times.
Multiple Templates : Allow multiple templates to be applied at once. i.e. Template for pavement and end condition Lt & Rt. The end condition templates can be controlled separately. Creating small reusable templates.

**Built:** Built in /lab 2026-11-02 as SU.1110 (civil-templates-09): the template creation tool (parametric points, targets), terrain templates draped from the 0,0 point and clipped by a parcel, pad or closed feature line, several corridors on one alignment, several templates by station, left and right end conditions.
