1)
Actually moving mouse pointer on a node appears a small panel showing some info as Dx, DY, DX.

Request: moving mouse pointer on a node can ALSO/ONLY/NOT (choosing from a setting flag) show absolute X,Y,Z coordinates of node?
Everytime i need absolute elevation of a node i need to see node number and then looking for it in "coordinates" panel. Long time needed.


2)
when you double-click on a segment or a node it would be useful
to highligh (ex: chaging color) it in "elements" panel or move the "elements" list content to show the row of selected node. Eventually adding a button to "jump" to the right row in "elements" matrix after having selected a node on screen.

3)
underground modeler: before buring the line, can you create a button that color pipes (a different color for every soil "model number")? so we can check every pipeline has the right "model number". Useful if you change a pipe system where soil matrix is already set. If you change a starting/ending node the soil will propogate and you can't see unless you don't bury the system. Long time lost and mistakes.

thank you

To expand on 1, perhaps we should be able to set up in the options what we might want to see when we hover over an element/node. Sometimes I might not want anything. Sometimes I might want to know everything.

For 3, you can set the line number for a pipe, and for the underground pipe, you can apply _UG to the end of the line number. Activate the line number panel and you can change the color and transparency on a per-line number basis.

For 3:

I don't need to see what is underground and what is not. I already know it. smile

I need to see what TYPE ("buried pipe modeler"-->"basic soli modeler"-->"model number", a different pipe color for every model number of soil) of underground soil has every model segment. I mean i would like to see in coloros what is inside the underground matrix. I already know what is ug and what isn'nt :P
