Need to add functionality to LBS for struts/web walls between pier columns.

Currently, if an OBM model is defined with a strut/web wall between pier columns, the strut will not transfer to LBS, and there is no way within the LBS substructure design module to add a strut/web wall. This is a hug problem because we have brid...

Add functionality to LBS to handle round variable column definition and analysis/design

Currently, if a bridge is modeled in OBM using variable columns with a round cross-section, that column cannot be accurately transferred to LBS, nor can a variable-round cross-section be defined, analyzed, or designed within LBS. This is a big hol...

Annotate Horizontal length along straight on profile

Requirement is to annotate horizontal length of straight on profile (station end - station start). It is available in frame annotation but not along linear so annotations don't match. Only the slope length can be annotated along the linear

Add Dynamics / Rules to Meshes produced by Create Closed Mesh Tool

Currently the Create Closed Mesh Tool produces static meshes which do not update when base elements change. When any of the base elements change, the existing meshes need to be deleted and created from scratch. We would like to see the following i...

Re-associate turnout to an alignment

When you create a new alignment, break a alignment and lose the turnouts or import a geometry it would be good to be able to re-associate or change the alignment to which a turnout are associated/connected to.For instance when I´m working with a c...

Better Side Slope Annotation tool

Plan annotation for side slopes is something really difficult to do in plan drawings. First, there is only one workflow using Annotation Groups for 3D elements (3D side slope annotation is the full name). This make so that I can`t use my elements ...

Add Color Coded Surface tool from InRoads to OpenRoads Designer.

The Color-Coded surface tool is missing in OpenRoads Designer which was there in InRoads, We can use the Thematic Height Display Style but that forces to use Rasterized Option while printing and in the PDF the surface gets pixelated.

Bring back the “NE=” key-in command.

U.S. surveyors traditionally work in Northing & Easting, in that order. When working with Microstation V8i, AND with Inroads loaded, the user could perform precision drafting by using the “NE= “ key-in to enter the exact northing/easting coord...

Allow Annotation Groups to use "Place Text Along" from MicroStation

For a plan annotation group, the ability for annotation text on arcs/curves and spirals/transitions to be placed to follow the geometry centreline curvature. The present options only allow the text to be placed as a tangential/perpendicular straig...
