  1. How about adding a feature for converting units?

    I'd love to have a feature that enables me to switch from metric to imperial without having to start again from scratch.

  2. Section information

    It could be useful to have a window appearing when we leave our mouse on a section line for two seconds that would display name, main slope % proprieties, max chage % etc....

    We are totally rewriting OptiSurface Designer and we're thinking the best way to implement this would be to left click on a section line and the properties would be displayed on a panel on the right hand side of the screen where you can edit them if required. 


    Let us know your thoughts on this idea.

  3. Equal Subzones?

    When designing, we divide the field into subzones as tasks for each tractor operator. Would it be possible to have a function where we choose how many subzones we want and the software creates the subzones with similar cut/fill quantities?

  4. CPU Only at 30% Capacity when Calculating

    My CPU only works at about 30% capacity while calculating. Having to load a big file (~400 hectare field) often is cumbersome. Is there a way to speed it up?

    In our new web based version, we will take advantage of multiple cores for the analysis tools. However, the landform design calculations are a lot more complex and difficult to spread to multicores although we are attempting to do this.

  5. Be nice to have credits used to make the design written somewhere.

    After we unlocked a design and closed the unlock window telling us how much credits are required, there is no way to see how much was used again. Would be easier for billing because sometimes credits used area and field areas aren't exactly the same.

  6. Rollback option

    can a feature be added to the new OptiSurface version to roll back the latest changes made to a design? for example, when trying to edit a subzone you accidentally click on delete subzone and instead of needing to redraw the subzone and set all the parameters again you can press Ctrl+Z to get back the last change.

  7. Report the % Land Area for a Given Slope Interval

    It will be nice to have a feature to report the % of land area at a given interval on primary slope or cross slope.

    We are working on a new version of OptiSurface that will run completely on the cloud and you'll be able to share your designs to your client with a link and they can view all the details of the design. We are interested in your thoughts on this idea and should all layers be available to them?

  10. Customized Report

    A customizable report with options of pages, and the addition of a title page and a summary page would be amazing. This is easier for customers and operators to interpret. At this time, I have a customized excel spreadsheet that I created that has a cover sheet and a summary sheet with all calculations in one location. I have to then take the excel spreadsheet and convert to pdf then combine it to the optisurface report pdf to generate. It’s very time consuming. Complete report customization would be a huge improvement in my opinion due to the majority of my…
