Dynamic cross section quick annotatioun

It would be helpful to use quick temporary dimensions in the dynamic cross section viewer. You could potentially use annotation groups that are set up for the cross-section sheets and quickly toggle them on and off, labeling the important features...

Single station Edit disassociated from baseline geometry

when a single-station edit to a cross section is made, it is disassociated to the baseline alignment. Therefore, if the baseline horizontal or vertical alignment is edited after this, the single station edit does not dynamically update to the new ...

Ability to Change Deck and Beam Layout Limits

In recent versions of OBM, the ability to add or remove SupportLines was added. While this is helpful in some cases, it would be more helpful to have the ability to change which SupportLines a given Deck or Beam Layout belong to. That way if the S...

Allow Initial and Residual camber values to be entered

To aid in geometric calculations with construction staging, it would be beneficial for beams to have an erection camber and residual camber values. OBM could model two beams in the same location: 1) Construction Case Beam is before deck placement,...

Civil Expression for offset side of component / mesh

We need an Expression that gets the offset of the center of a component in the 3D model. Currently it is getting the offset from the closest point in the component. When the component is away from the alignment, this is acceptable, but if the comp...

Prevent or warn users if someone tries to add a reference file manually to a dynamic section or profile window

Seems that users generally shouldn't be adding plan based reference files to dynamic cross section or profile window design models known as non-indexed models. Would be nice to prevent someone from accidentally doing this and not realizing.

Relate trench quantities back to the conduit for reporting and take-off needs

NYSDOT is utilizing trenches on all of their utility and drainage pipes. They have a report they require that quantifies the components within the trench corridor per outgoing pipe from a node. If there was a way to generate an Item Type on the pi...

Beam Haunch Parameters and Templates

Beam haunches should have more robust parameters or even model templates. some examples would be: the ability to allow exterior haunches to extend to the edge of deck independent of the top flange of the girder/beam. also allow it to taper to a ...

Make it possible to apply various symbology on one alignment

Many times an alignment is partly existing and partly new or changed. In the drawings this should be shown with different symbology and annotation, something that is not easy in ORD. A tool that can do this would be very useful!
