Allow Annotation group 'label' settings to work with D&U

A new annotation filter setting (Label) was introduced in OpenRoads 2025. This setting works well to place callouts for corridor components, however when drainage/utility features are selected, we run into issues as shown below. The callout does n...

Add custom POIs under PS beam design module (Suprestructure/Conspan)

In OpenBridge Concrete, we cannot add points of interest as we can in the Steel edition. This limitation may lead to the software reporting incorrect minimum rating results. For instance, stirrup spacing is typically entered manually, starting clo...

Tool for moving multiple nodes at the same time

A tool to move multiple nodes at the same time is needed in ORD as such tool or functionality was not observed with ORD. This is helpful for situations where the nodes will be offset by a certain distance due to the buildings or other constraints ...

Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Start & End Item Type Expression for Extents

There should be an item type expression available that can provide the station to station extents of an element. Currently Bentley provides expressions for begin and end Station that correspond to the stationing at the beginning and end of the ele...

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Allow Stopping Sight Distance to be controlled uniquely by alignment

Currently the stopping sight distance uses configuation variables to control the eye height and object height which would affect all alignment for a specific project. Please allow various alignments to have different options for these settings. Fo...

Button to synchronize all template drops for all corridors & linear templates in a file

I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.
