OBM Place Bearing List Order Causing Item and Material Misclassification

The current order of OBM’s Place Bearing groups is creating significant confusion regarding which item group corresponds to the Bearing and Grout Pad/Bevel Plate. Because the group order changes depending on configuration, the same physical compon...

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...

Add ability to use manually drawn pier cap templates extruded up/down station

OBM is limited in the cap shapes it can accommodate currently. It would be very helpful if we had the ability to draw cap shapes in the front elevation view and use those as templates, which OBM extrudes in the up/downstation direction. We would l...

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.

Field splice bolt material - material library location

Currently, the material options for the Bolt Material in the field splice library pulls from the Miscellaneous tab of the material library. It would be good if this pulled from the steel tab as that is where we put the steel bolt material pay items

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 ...

OBM should support multi-model, 2D and 3D workflows similar to OpenRoads

Users currently need to always start with a 3D file in OBM unlike in ORD. Allow users to support the multi-model (2D and 3D) behavior similar to OpenRoads Designer. All decorations should be in the 2D file and all 3D objects in the 3D file. When s...

Support for Partial-Depth Deck Panels

This is a must have feature for precast bridges.

Model Curves with Radius in OBM

Currently 3D elements that are curved are rendered with a series of line segments. While this might be okay for some applications, it makes the 3D model very unhelpful for plans production (i.e. you cannot dimension radii of curves). We need the c...
