Cross sections must be perpendicular to the flow lines at all locations. And they cannot intersect with each other. That is why it is common to see cross sections snap at different angles outside the main channel (we call this doglegging). The tri...
This would give us the ability to make our models more complete within OBM rather than having to either model using MicroStation tools or another software (ProStructures).
Create transitions between templates to eliminate gaps between them
A useful tool which shoud be added to the program is transition between different types of templates. It would be useful both in cases of tracks and corridors ( namely surfaces with different width ). Currently, if one implements several types of ...
Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...
Automate the assignment of a node's sump offset based on largest connecting pipe's wall thickness
We are looking for a workflow where the Sump depth value can be set to the thickness of the "largest pipe" connected to a node. When the user places a node, if there is an option to set the sump depth to the thickness of the pipe, then it would au...
Bevel vertical face of stiffeners/connection plates at web
When the connection plates or stiffeners are placed, they are appearing half-embedded into the web with an equivalent gap on the opposing edge. For it to actually be correct, the plates should be beveled to match the vertical face of the web.
If ditches do become channel features, KYTC would need channels to then be able to attach to other node types besides headwalls since we have many conditions and locations where they outlet into inlets of various types.
Automatically adjust structure Hight to include pipe thickness
it would be more accurate to calculate the structure Height if when a pipe is connected to a structure that the bottom base slab was adjusted to be below the wall of the pipe. this would also make the 3D model look better.
