Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

Add ability to use manually drawn pier cap templates extruded up/down station

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...

Update RDX Export to Version 2.0

Current Rebar data can be saved as an MDB or an RDX file. Our rebar fabricators in Michigan are using aSa software that requires rdx files that are version 2.0 or above. OBM/ProConcrete is still producing RDX Version 1.3 files. These cannot be imp...

Transpose Element option to Create a Copy.

When using the Transpose tool, the software makes a copy of the element you are selecting to transpose, and that is the element that is reversed, leaving behind the original underneath. Most of the time I do not want a copy of the transposed eleme...

File Branding Interoperability - By Schema

File branding by Product is problematic for Organizations where multiple software solution are deployed like OpenSite, OpenRoads, OpenRail and OpenBridge. The schema(s) within the file should be analyzed at file open rather than the last authoring...

Annotate Cross Section Locations In Plan

We often want to show the location of cross section in plan which can be done using the named Boundary Lines but they need to be annotated so you know what each represents e.g. stations/chainages or section names such as letters etc. There is a wo...

Variable Cross slope by station outside of deck limits

Currently is you have a cross slope transition start or end outside the deck limits you have to calculate what the cross slope is at the deck limits. It would be helpful if you could just enter the start and stop station of the transition.

Offset Overlapping Reinforcement at Specific Locations in Drawing Models

Reinforcement is typically tied together and is 3D modeled to reflect that. For example, a U bar tied into longitudinal/vertical bars. When a section cut is taken, the drawing models appears to show a single long U bar and not 2/3 separate bars. B...

Patch Product More Often

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

Auto-rotate Annotation and Labels

Suggestion to allow annotation and labels to align with plan named boundaries and sheet file plan views. For example, consider a plan named boundaries shape around a horizontal curve. If you have a separate standalone annotation file, often times,...
