OBM Change in the Direction of the Slope

I'm currently developing a bridge model that includes a gore area, and I'm encountering some modeling challenges. The main issue is with the deck slope: the slope direction changes across the width of the bridge, but the deck template is constrain...

Slope direction from auxiliary alignment

In modeling a gore area, I need the slope direction to follow an auxiliary alignment. However, when using corridor information from OpenRoads Designer (ORD), it becomes incompatible with OpenBridge Modeler (OBM) if there's a change in slope direct...

Location of embedded battered piles set at bottom of footing

Currently, for abutment and piers, when battered piles are used in combination with an embedment length, the pile location is set based on top of pile not the bottom of footing. When users input pile spacings into the pile layout dialog, it is not...

Ability to change the bridge type after creating the bridge in OBM

Being able to change the superstructure type after the deck, substructures, approaches have already been modeled. Currently once you select the Bridge Type it locks you into that superstructure type and any work you complete under that bridge type...

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Text file input for beam layouts and bridge geometry or bgs input

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

Break decks into sections

Usually, the bridge deck of a precast beam is an integral unit per span. In actual construction, the bridge deck may be constructed in sections for each beam. Is it possible to break the bridge deck into sections for each beam, and further divide ...

Simplifying Retaining Wall Construction: A Wingwall-Inspired Approach for Bridge Design

When the bridge needs a long “wingwall”, it break two part – a wingwall which is built with the abutment, and the rest part I call it “Retaining wall”. Is it possibly to make this retaining wall as easy as wingwall? That means like put the wingwal...

Wingwall to follow horizontal alignment (curved)

It would be very usefull to have the ability to place wingwalls with option to follow horizontal alignment including curved alignment. Currently we only have the option to follow the vertical profile.
