LBS - Allow rebars parallel to edges of a flared deck

Deck Slab Reinforcing Steel is offset when the slab geometry is not rectangular or tapered. I have a tapered bridge and the slab follows the tapered edge but the reinforcement follows the alignment and not the edge of slab. Is there a way of forci...

Ability to add a unit to multi unit corridor in the middle or edit the multi unit corridor

In the Release 2025 of OpenTunnel Designer we can add a unit at the start and at the end of a unit with a tunnel corridor but it is not possible to place this unit in the middle of it or adjust this with reopening the multi units created from an x...

Return the load factors for the TU load case to 0.5 min & 0.5 max in LEAP Bridge Concrete

It is too conservative and unnecessary to use a 1.2 load factor for the TU load case for design/analysis of substructures. The 1.2 load factor is only needed when calculating thermal movement for joints, expansion devices, and bearings as stated i...

Amend Create Ties (Sleepers) routine by adding an option to use parametric cells of the ties

The current tool is placing a rectangular block of variable sizes only. It works to timber (wood) ties, but it does not represent the actual concrete ties, such as high speed rail or any scalloped with notched rail seats. As we increase requiremen...

defining dynamic vehicle envelope for rail vehicles: need missing parameters

when creating dynamic vehicle envelope (strangely called coach sweep), the methodology does not reflect the vehicle outlines. Passenger carriages and most locomotives have tapered nose configuration which drastically reduces dynamic envelope. Curr...

Keep the Corridor Object Toolbar Visible While Defining Parametric Constraints

In OpenRoads Designer, when defining or editing parametric constraints, the Corridor Object toolbar disappears from the screen. This removes access to important corridor information at a critical stage of the workflow. This idea proposes that the ...

Add an Interactive 3D Viewer to the Template Editor

Introduce a built‑in interactive 3D viewer within the Template Editor that allows users to preview templates in real time. This viewer would display how a template applies to 3D models (e.g. corridors, terrain, alignments, utilities, or structural...

Add end condition alignment targeting in template component properties dialog

When opening the component properties dialog for an end condition you have the option to select a feature definition. Currently you can only target feature definitions under the 'Linear' category but not 'alignment' category.

Secondary Alignment End Condition Tie-ins

I’d like to propose an enhancement to how end conditions are resolved when secondary alignments are in use. Currently, when a secondary alignment is applied, end condition tie-in points are only solved at corridor intervals and linearly interpolat...

Corridor Component On/Off Toggles

While Display rules are useful for creating logic to turn components on/off within templates they can often be tedious to develop. I often wish there was a simpler on/off toggle for component displays in the corridor objects menu. I envision this ...
