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...

Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...

Open up target alias to be used outside of end conditions

Allow target aliasing to be used for regular corridor components, points, etc. in addition to end conditions. A specific scenario where this would be useful is setting up a secondary corridor that needs to be editable but also follow the exact geo...

Dynamic cross section quick annotatioun

It would be helpful to use quick temporary dimensions in the dynamic cross section viewer. You could potentially use annotation groups that are set up for the cross-section sheets and quickly toggle them on and off, labeling the important features...

Single station Edit disassociated from baseline geometry

when a single-station edit to a cross section is made, it is disassociated to the baseline alignment. Therefore, if the baseline horizontal or vertical alignment is edited after this, the single station edit does not dynamically update to the new ...

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,...

Civil Expression for offset side of component / mesh

We need an Expression that gets the offset of the center of a component in the 3D model. Currently it is getting the offset from the closest point in the component. When the component is away from the alignment, this is acceptable, but if the comp...

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.
