    LEAP Bridge Steel: report camber at field splice locations

    Currently the camber can be presented at tenth points. It is very common to need to provide camber at field splice locations. Is it possible to add an option to the program to have it present camber at field splice locations?

    provide a bulk analysis and output for field splice design

    Currently to design field splices, all of the splices must be analyzed individually with a click of a button and then each field splice has its own report. This can result in having to click lots of buttons and look through dozens of field splice ...

    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.

    Insert a table of geometry information directly from Horizontal Geometry Report

    It would be great to be able to create a custom report format in the Horizontal Geometry Report and then be able to insert that into a DGN directly from there.

    Add The Ability To Insert A Vertical Bend Or Curve Into A Drainage Link/PIPE.

    It would be very helpful and much more efficient if there was an option to insert a vertical bend or curve into a drainage link/pipe from the profile run profile view. Basically, adding the exact same tool that is available in plan/horizontal call...
