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.
Allow the use of equations when creating civil labels
We would like to be able to create a civil label that labels the elevation of a terrain model. We would like this label to include both a top of curb elevation and automatically do the math to subtract a set distance from that elevation so that it...
Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...
It is known that processing slows when using nested IIF statements. In order to simplify the expressions functions for Roundup and Increments for Ceiling.Math with are needed. Roundup function with a precision Roundup(100.03,1) = 100.1 math functi...
Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section
For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.
Option to define only a single beam in the Beam Layout
Currently OBM requires atleast two beams in the beam layout. Users working on bridge expansion projects, or with rail bridges have requested allowing bridges with a single beam.
ORD needs a pay item tool to manage all pay items and quantities for a project. This would help with keeping up with pay items that do not have elements in a file, especially in regard to digital delivery. PowerGeopak had a quantity manager that c...
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).
Option to place beam as the cell.- In the case where the beam cross section (Template) is changing quite a lot in one span, when there are other elements attached to beam, penetrations in the beam or simply complex geometry of the beam it would be...
