Need to add functionality to LBS for struts/web walls between pier columns.

Currently, if an OBM model is defined with a strut/web wall between pier columns, the strut will not transfer to LBS, and there is no way within the LBS substructure design module to add a strut/web wall. This is a hug problem because we have brid...

Automatic Dimension Masking

Need to have the ability for dimension lines that cross other dimension lines be automatically masked. This has traditionally been done by adjusting extension lines, but with associative dimensions, this is not feasible. The order of dimension pla...

Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

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.

Analyze Volume Terrain model misses the old "Triangle Volume report" option

When using the "Analyze Volume Terrain model" tool the only way to save the result is to place a text in the dgn file. As in the legacy product (PowerCivil/InRoads) we need to be able to save a report (eg. using TriangleVolumes.xsl) ...it should b...

OpenRoads SignCAD MSI or EXE with the /layout command for deployment image

Previous OpenRoads SignCAD releases were .msi which can be deployed and managed at scale quite easily in enterprise environments. The 2023 release is an executable (.exe); however, it doesn’t support the /layout switch like other Bentley platform-...

Parallel snap with Civil horizontal line

When creating centerline geometry you may need it to be parallel to outside boundaries like Right of Way. It would be convenient to be able to select that snap and use it like it works for MicroStation lines.

Add "Update From Source" to Fieldbooks

Similar to the "Update from Source" available for terrain models, it would be great to be able to right-click on a fieldbook that's being read from an external file and tell it to refresh based on edits made to the external file. Of course, there ...

Superelevation Rules file configuration variable

Please add a config variable that allows us to point to the folder where the superelevation rules files reside but without specifying a specific superelevation rules file. This will be helpful when a project has multiple rules file to choose from ...
