OBM Longitudinal Bearing Slope

In OBM, when using the "Modeled as sloped bearing seats" option, I expected the bearing seat to slope longitudinally as well—not just transversely. This is especially relevant for precast bearings, which often consist of a variable grout pad and a neoprene bearing on a small inclined plane.

Given this common practice, OBM should support longitudinal pedestal slopes that follow the beam grade, in addition to the transverse slope.
