Don't process corridor for change of disabled Point Control or Parametric Constraint

Not sure why it does this, but it doesnt make sense that the software processes when these are changed although they are disabled. To aid in productivity, especially for large corridors, the corridor should check if the Point Control / Parametric ...

Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section

For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.

Create 3D by slope to terrain needs to have the option for the fill slope to be positive and vise versa for cut slope

When projecting a line to a terrain currently the only option for fill is down and cut is up. This needs to be a user selectable option. There are many cases where the proposed surface is above the existing ground yet the fill projection needs to ...

Store vertical/horizontal alignment of low points

A tool existed in Geopak that could pick out the low point of a cross section to the left and right of centerline and construct horizontal and vertical alignments from that. This essentially automated the creation of a ditch profile along an entir...

Ability to save frequently used slopes in the "create slope to target" tool dialogue.

It would be very helpful if we could save our frequently used slopes to a pull down list in the "create slope to target" tool dialogue. Currently you have to type in your desired Cut and Fill slopes every time you use the tool. It would be much be...

Create corridor without vertical

Having the ability to create a corridor without needing a vertical can be helpful when a project involves widening. With widening, I wouldn't need a profile along the CL, but instead it would be along the EOP. Point controls can be used to attach ...

Add ability to delete multiple template point's constrains at once while editing the Transition Midpoint

While editing the Transition Midpoint, we need to delete both the constraints of multiple template points. currently we can delete the constrains of point one at a time. This can become tedious process when there are lot of points of which both th...

Create corridor from reference feature

Our current standard workflow for roadway corridor modeling is to create a pavement corridor then a corridor for each end condition Rt and Lt. I have seen many others including some Bentley folks use this method. It would be big time saver to have...

Use GAGE instead of Center of Railhead for Template Placement when Creating Rails

The "Create Rails" tool utilizes the Rail Settings within the Design File. The gage lines are generated correctly based on the file settings, and so are the center of rail head lines, BUT these do not necessarily match the Template that is used to...
