The current order of OBM’s Place Bearing groups is creating significant confusion regarding which item group corresponds to the Bearing and Grout Pad/Bevel Plate. Because the group order changes depending on configuration, the same physical compon...

OBM is limited in the cap shapes it can accommodate currently. It would be very helpful if we had the ability to draw cap shapes in the front elevation view and use those as templates, which OBM extrudes in the up/downstation direction. We would l...

When creating a profile Named Boundary, there is no option to set a starting or stopping elevation, or an elevation range. It's a bit of a black box how that is determined by the software, and we need more control. It's entirely possible to create...

In the ‘Code Checker Results’, the program summarizes for each girder all the critical load combinations, AASHTO code and controlling performance ratio. As in some diaphragm locations, the program is stating the girder is controlled by fatigue and...

I agree that the excess reinforcement factors would be different for each POI and load case. That is one reason most engineers conservatively ignore that factor. A simple or temporary solution is to set that factor equal to 1. I believe that AASHT...

From the user: "I have a straight steel bridge no skew and it is classifying cross-frames as primary members. Is there away to set cross-frames as secondary member for kL/r check?" This happens because All elements are only set as primary, without...

To enhance productivity and efficiency in live projects, we need dynamic Named Boundaries linked to Geometry. This includes the ability to update the shape or location of a named boundary after creating a sheet model, with the changes reflected in...

PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...

RIght of Way take tables are required with named points. The normal workflow is to create points then origin point persist snap those elements creating the shape of the deed boundary to the points. In this way the legal reports show the point name...

There should be an item type expression available that can provide the station to station extents of an element. Currently Bentley provides expressions for begin and end Station that correspond to the stationing at the beginning and end of the ele...
