We want the best road tool ever !!

Hi,

I didn't invent it but I think the program no longer exists... it was just perfect...

The vectorworks tool is a good start but could be improved wonderfully 😛

 

It's all in the design below.

A BIG +1 on this! I feel like VW is really lacking in everything that is professional grading. This certainly would be a step in the right direction.

Well said!

 

This type of thought should be applied to every tool… workflows that mimic how we actually design solutions.

 

Prior to and during development, actual industry professionals (not only software or Vectorworks employees) should be consulted. I think there is a serious issue when you have long time users, and even former presenters at design summits, complaining about tools and interface.  I’m confident they will do better.

Added to the above I'd really like to see an understanding from VW of how soil is built up. It always comes with sloped angles as seen in my drawing below. By Swedish standards the slopes are also tied to costs as different slopes generate different volumes in cut/fill. So it's vital to get that into the drawings. The vertical sides of the hardscapes are not really realistic.
