Create corridor from reference feature

Our current standard workflow for roadway corridor modeling is to create a pavement corridor then a corridor for each end condition Rt and Lt. I have seen many others including some Bentley folks use this method. It would be big time saver to have...

The ability to edit the positioning and placement of a dimension.

Once a dimension is placed, it seems to be set. The ability to place a dimension and then later be able to adjust it would be tremendous. Not only the ability to adjust the placement of the dimension, but the ability to adjust the placement of the...

Use GAGE instead of Center of Railhead for Template Placement when Creating Rails

The "Create Rails" tool utilizes the Rail Settings within the Design File. The gage lines are generated correctly based on the file settings, and so are the center of rail head lines, BUT these do not necessarily match the Template that is used to...

Need access to all element properties in the Reports Tool

First let me start by saying that I applaud the effort that is going into the development of ORD. The recommended workflow that Bentley suggests when trying to access Civil Element Properties is to create an Item Type that harvests the information...

Add ability to update Element Templates that are already tied to Feature Symbologies

If you have Element Templates (ET) separate from your Feature Definitions / Feature Symbologies, ORD will make a local copy of an ET if it is used in a Feature Symbology. If that ET is updated, you must delete the ET and copy in the updated versio...

Geometry - Copy Chain Parallel Command

There was a command in Geopak called Copy Chai n Parallel that was very useful in creating offsets of survey chains, and creating new points at constant delta elevations. We are looking for the same function to be added in OpenRoads Designer.

Include common support structure types used in the UK

It would be good to add to the OBM library, for example standard abutments types used in the UK that are not integral and need an abutment gallery to align with the CIRIA C543 Bridge detailing guide.

Put the DEPTH point type back in the survey import

In InRoads there was an option to import data as depths instead of elevations. This is common practice for hydrographic data, as many dedicated programs have positive elevations being below 0, with elevations above as negatives. ASCII files can be...

horizontal regression for points

in Inroads there was an option to select points to put in regression in geometry to create a best fit alignment. You could then do a single element regression analysis afterwards and it would give you the best fit line and how far in either direct...

Save LeapBridge Concrete design that is exported from LeapBridge Steel

Currently, any substructure design that is created from LeapBridge Steel (LBS) is stored directly in the OpenBridge Designer (OBD) file. To allow multiple people to work on a project at once, it would be easier to have a save as option in LBS Subs...
