I would like to start using RM Bridge with shell elements for transverse analysis, however, I have just found out that currently it does not provide envelope results for shell forces, this is an essential tool for live load transverse analysis.
The automated ''Cut Backwall with Wingwall'' of OBM 2023 release is very practical but it would be usefull to have the option to turn it off in some particular situation. e.g. When we want the Wingwall to go all through the front of the StemWall o...
Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...
The only option for placing a custom pier or abutment is by cell. It would be great if we had an option to place custom pier or abutment with a reference. Using standalone pier models have a lot of benefits and keeps the main model less heavy.
Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...
Clipping export of 3D models using Named Boundaries to separate dgns
When exporting a model to IFC it is possible to export the model splitting to Named Boundary Groups. This is very powerfull because you can split your model and the volume reports in smaller parts. It would also be good if you can split the dgn to...
Apply Multiple Deck Point Controls by Station Ranges
There are many circumstances where the same Deck Template point needs to be Point Controlled onto multiple linear features. Currently the user needs to either create multiple decks/support lines or create Geometry that traces the original and join...
Need to be able to add CrossFrames for Steel Tub/U girders
Similar to the custom tools for available for stiffeners and cross frames for steel built up or rolled shape beams, OBM needs to add tools for adding these to steel tub/U beams
Please fix the Standards in OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition to not copy to the individual dgn files in the project.
On very large projects with hundreds of people working on the project and you need to change a standard you should not have to go thru all of the dgns in the project to update or purge old standards. Most of the time the standards evolve as the pr...
Use Annotation Groups to add Hatching / Pattern elements and Dimension Elements
We have several sheets where we want certain lines that have specific feature definitions to have a dimension on the plans. We also have several shapes that we always want to show hatching or patterns appearing on the plans. Right now we have to m...
