Allow abutment body to have independent skew

Edges of abutments and footings do not always follow the alignment (i.e. not always parallel to bridge). It would be helpful to have an input for skew for each abutment end that allows for independent manipulation. Wingwalls could follow this skew...

Group Sets of Reinforcement Together

In the substructure reinforcement maybe need to be modeled in separate groups (using irregular dispatch, single rebar distribution etc.) to avoid obstructions like plies or girders that are cast into the concrete abutments/wingwalls. This may nece...

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.

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

Offset Overlapping Reinforcement at Specific Locations in Drawing Models

Reinforcement is typically tied together and is 3D modeled to reflect that. For example, a U bar tied into longitudinal/vertical bars. When a section cut is taken, the drawing models appears to show a single long U bar and not 2/3 separate bars. B...

Beam Haunch Parameters and Templates

Beam haunches should have more robust parameters or even model templates. some examples would be: the ability to allow exterior haunches to extend to the edge of deck independent of the top flange of the girder/beam. also allow it to taper to a ...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX

Button to synchronize all template drops for all corridors & linear templates in a file

I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.
