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...

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...

Ability to specify slope when placing a Pipe in Plan

It is a common practice to specify a slope as an input parameter when creating a Network.For DU, the slope is rarely exposed and directly editable (only from profile, and if Set invert to Start and or stop is true - and if "Use construction length...

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...

Make Template Editor a non-modal window.

In legacy versions of the software, I can have the template library open on one screen, corridor modeler on another screen, and the CAD window open on a third screen. I can make/save changes in the template, make/save changes in the corridor model...

Group Sets of Reinforcement Together

In the substructure reinforcement maybe need to be modeled in separate groups (using irregular dispatch, single rebar distribution etc.) to avoid obstructions like plies or girders that are cast into the concrete abutments/wingwalls. This may nece...

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...

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,...
