Create an RTC field within object properties in ICM

Currently in order to establish where & how RTC's are influencing a network, you are required to open the RTC editor window / expand each individual RTC to see all the details & cross reference any object ID's to see if it may be affecting an area you are interested in. This is time consuming and not practical for larger models which may have dozens of RTC's active. If there was a field within each object that could indicate if RTC had been applied and reference it (in a similar fashion to head discharge tables), this would be helpful and avoid the issue of not knowing if an RTC is affecting a part of the network & potentially missing it all together.

    Working with RTC in a commercial setting where there are deadlines to meet is very difficult, particularly when you are under pressure to understand what you are doing and explain it to people. How can I possibly deliver on that when I cannot readily graph regulator states, understand whether a regulator activated in a given timestep, or easily see whether a given link responded to its regulator at any point in a sim?

    I have been working extensively with RTC over the last six months on a Smart Assets project and I am frequently appalled by how cumbersome and difficult it is to work out how the RTC is actually affecting the components of the network. That needs to change entirely if Autodesk is serious about ICM being seen as a useful package for implementing Smart Asset solutions and other real-time optimisations.
