Project Multiple Profiles onto one grid

It would be beneficial to project multiple profiles that are parallel to each other in one profile grid. For instance, one for Left front face of a curb, another for Construction Centerline, and another for Right front face of curb.

Permanent bracing (PPC girders)

This would give us the ability to make our models more complete within OBM rather than having to either model using MicroStation tools or another software (ProStructures).

Ability to create a 3D ruled element when two gradings cut each other

When two gradings cut each other, for example mine corridor grading and a lateral ramp grading, you can use the Define target aliasing tool to use one of the two gradings as a target for the corridor containing the other grading to obtain the 3d l...

Ability to Analyze Elevations in Dynamic Cross Section

Users would like the ability to quickly place a point in the dynamic section view to pull elevation information. It would be nice to have that text remain in place as you move from section to section, similar to the cut/fill volumes between sectio...

Ability to lock Parametric Constraint Start/End to XY or Stations

There are many different situations where users may want Parametric Constraints to be locked to specific stations or XY locations. An additional column in Corridor objects with this option would be very valuable for users to identify and control d...

Temporary dimension of elevation in dynamic cross section

Add the capability to see the elevation of a point(s) on a dynamic section with a temporary dimension, much like the width/height and slope is available with horizontal and vertical temporary dimension lines.

Create Template Geometry - Option to create 2D Elements from points located below top surface

Currently only template points located on top surface can produce 2d linear elements. This also only seems possible, when the components they belong to, are not ‘Excluded From Top/Bottom Mesh’ (option in Component properties dialog) and the ‘Creat...

Need to have an option for manual/automatic corridor processing

There is an existing option to deviate rules on a corridor. This is inconvenient and difficult to use because of the workflow associated this it: select A corridor -> deactivate rules, then select A corridor -> enable rules -> process (th...

Need modeling of curved wing walls

Currently in OBM wingwalls can only be modeled straight (and skewed). We need to be able to model curved wing walls, i.e. on a horizontal curve.
