Prestressed Concrete Girder Beam End Cuts & Clips

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

MVD is not defined when exported to IFC

In IFC Export, there is NO Model View Definition in exported IFC.

Ability to have multiple superstructure types in one bridge definition. For example, steel main spans with concrete approach spans is currently defined as 3 bridges

Many bridges have approach spans that are smaller in length to the main spans. For example, a bridge that crosses over a railroad ROW may have prestressed concrete in the approach spans and a continuous steel bridge over the railroad, then the end...
