Need bent plate connection plates for diaphragm and cross frames.

OBM does not currently allow for bent connection plates for diaphragms / cross frames. We need that ability to cover bridges skewed between 20 and 45 degrees.

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...

Allow automatic POI definition from bearing to bearing (for camber and deflections)

For final bridge plans involving a steel bridge, we need to report dead load deflections at either the 10th or 20th points along the span—from bearing to bearing. While the program does calculate these points, it currently measures them from the e...
