IDS as Information Delivery Specification is a standard comes from buildingSMART which ensure openBIM pricipes for exchange of information requirements and validation. Please check at https://www.buildingsmart.org/what-is-information-delivery-spec...
Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...
Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section
For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.
Option to define only a single beam in the Beam Layout
Currently OBM requires atleast two beams in the beam layout. Users working on bridge expansion projects, or with rail bridges have requested allowing bridges with a single beam.
I would like to see an improvement to the interoperability - Once you "Send To [LEAP]" the bridge model from OBM you are no longer able to modify the bridge in OBM and UPDATE the existing .lbcx file you are working in. I understand that significan...
Bevel vertical face of stiffeners/connection plates at web
When the connection plates or stiffeners are placed, they are appearing half-embedded into the web with an equivalent gap on the opposing edge. For it to actually be correct, the plates should be beveled to match the vertical face of the web.
Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements
Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...
