Give option to not annotate affix if a text favorite returns blank

When annotating elements using an affix (prefix or suffix) tied to a Text Favorite, OpenRoads currently annotates the affix even if the Text Favorite evaluates to a blank or null value. This results in: Stray symbols, separators, or units (e.g.,...

LEAP Concrete - Service Load Cases for Prestressed Open Beam Load Ratings

Service load cases are optional for legal and permit vehicle ratings for prestressed girder structures, but are required for the design vehicle. Currently, two analysis runs must be done to get ratings for design, legal and permit vehicles; one ru...

Add capability for loads to be applied to the footing

In LEAP substructure modules, it would be helpful to be able to add loads to the footing, other than vertical earth. Sometimes there are miscellaneous components of the pier/abutment where the weight needs to be considered, but are not a part of t...

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,...

add more columns for 1.33*Mu and Mcr (min. reinforcement in beams) and red the controlling moment if failing

It would solve confusion on the layout of the ultimate moment/min. reinforcement print outs/reports for bridge engineers.

Allow one-way export of OBM model to OBD for analysis

The OBM-OBD BIM workflow may work fine for standard style bridges, but when odd geometry is encountered, it would be helpful to be able to make modifications within the LEAP Concrete OBD file for analytical reasons, without affecting OBM geometry,...

View Design Reports In OBD, No Need to Go Into Analysis Software

It would be very helpful if when we have design reports ran and sitting within the conspan and RC-pier files, if OBD could display those reports from the OBD interface and not force users to go into each individual design file of each design softw...

Live Element Annotation in Drawing Models via Annotation Groups

There can be a lot of instances on a project where a detail in a section is not practical to model 3D, and the user feels compelled draw the element live in the drawing model. It would be great to capture live elements with annotation groups, as t...

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 ...
