Abutment Caps, Abutment Backwall, & End Diaphragm Breakbacks

Allow skewed abutment caps and backwalls to have breakbacks similar to deck breakbacks. Also create an end diaphragm tool that matches the abutment cap geometry for integral Abutments. Some DOT's do things different than Virgina and have two diffe...

Add ability to use manually drawn pier cap templates extruded up/down station

OBM is limited in the cap shapes it can accommodate currently. It would be very helpful if we had the ability to draw cap shapes in the front elevation view and use those as templates, which OBM extrudes in the up/downstation direction. We would l...

Batch create CIP Concrete Box

The main line consists primarily of CIP variable XS simple box girders. We are struggling with the limitations of the Bridge Wizard and hope to see these pain points addressed in the next update. Pier/Substructure: The Bridge Wizard does not suppo...

Integration of OpenRoads Designer Civil Functions in Python

Add OpenRoads Designer Civil functions to Python integration allowing development of Python applications that can access/call the Civil Design processes within OpenRoads

To place concrete diaphragms placed between the beam ends and then skewed between the beams transversely as per TDOT requirements

I need to place a Pier Diaphragm that does not encompass the beams inside the concrete diaphragm. TDOT requires 18" between the beam ends at the piers. The Diaphragm is placed between the beam ends and then skewed between the beams transversely, ...

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...

Clash Detection Collaboration

Once clash detection has been completed in BIC and forms have been created for individual clashes, it would be helpful for OBM to help navigate designers to the locations within the model that a particular clash form is identifying. It would also ...

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

Bridge deck breakback variant

Add a variant to the deck breakback that allows you to adjust the angle from the break point or add a deck variant that lets you set a distance from face of backwall which would automatically set your breakbacks without the need to give a distance...

Offset Overlapping Reinforcement at Specific Locations in Drawing Models

Reinforcement is typically tied together and is 3D modeled to reflect that. For example, a U bar tied into longitudinal/vertical bars. When a section cut is taken, the drawing models appears to show a single long U bar and not 2/3 separate bars. B...
