Extrapolate Deck Terrain beyond deck ends

The Deck Terrain feature that has been included since v24 has been very helpful. It would be more helpful if the limits of the terrain could extrapolate the deck template top surface a user-defined distance before or after the end of deck. Frequen...

Move Deck Terrain to a separate model, similar to Decoration Space

The auto-created deck terrain is a fantastic feature in OBM since v24. It would be beneficial to have a configuration variable toggle, similar to Bridge Decorations variable, that allows the Deck Terrain to be created and exist in a separate model...

Bridge Deck Rebar Modeling

It appears there isn’t a way to have the deck rebars associated with the concrete bridge deck. The deck rebars are created by drawing working lines in a 3D space within a copy of the deck. Changes in the deck geometry results in recreating the reb...

Allow stepped cap beam seats to be placed parallel to the girder on a skew.

Allow each girder step to be placed parallel to the girder not perpendicular to abutment skew. For ITD it's common practice to have the cap steps be center between girder centerlines parallel.

Add Place Stepped Approach Slab tool or feature

Most DOT's require approach slabs to be stepped on wide skewed bridges. It'd be nice not to have to create a lot of units to do this or use 3D Cutting tools to achieve this. I'm not sure what would be the easiest solution since you'll need to plac...

Fix defect with approach slab variable constraints on a skew.

Product will not allow me to change variable constraints on my approach slab template with my support line placed on a skew and the relative location is behind that support line. I can't use negative numbers from the support line and I can't used ...

Option to use Composite Section in Negative Moment Regions in Leap Steel

In Leap Steel, including shear studs or not in the negative moment regions changes the results of the moment diagram for composite load cases. Not including shear studs in the negative moment regions decreases negative moment values and increases ...

IFC Project-Level Properties

Description: This idea arises from the growing need to comply with BIM requirements established by the Spanish rail administration, which mandate the delivery of structured IFC files. These IFC models must include specific properties (Psets) not o...

Load DGNLIB files on demand

It would be very helpful if it were possible to load DGNLIB files on demand instead of automatically. One example of this is Sheet Seed DGNLIB files. We do not need those unless we are creating sheets, and creating sheets is a very, very small por...
