Allow member groups to start and stop at the same support line in LBS

We are modeling a complex bridge in LBS and the bridge is flared. The flare has required the addition of shorter beams that are not full length to keep the beam spacing on the flared end reasonable. Currently LBS does not allow more than one beam ...

Bridge centerline

It will be very helpful if OBM can project the deck centerline along the length of the bridge.

The ability to edit the positioning and placement of a dimension.

Once a dimension is placed, it seems to be set. The ability to place a dimension and then later be able to adjust it would be tremendous. Not only the ability to adjust the placement of the dimension, but the ability to adjust the placement of the...

Save LeapBridge Concrete design that is exported from LeapBridge Steel

Currently, any substructure design that is created from LeapBridge Steel (LBS) is stored directly in the OpenBridge Designer (OBD) file. To allow multiple people to work on a project at once, it would be easier to have a save as option in LBS Subs...

TAC Superelevation XML File

Would be nice if Bentley could provide a Superelevation XML file for TAC Canadian users. The AASHTO XML seems to work but it is not compatible with the TAC Canadian standard.

Allow for different shaft fixity in one model

A column on drilled shafts can have different fixity locations for different load cases. Suggest allowing analysis of the same bridge with different fixities rather then needing to create multiple models with varying fixities for simplicity.

Option to add support settlement to Leap Concrete & Leap Steel

Differential support settlement can create additional internal forces in beams. Right now there is no option to account for those forces.

Parametric rebar cages

Bridge engineering would greatly benefit from having rebar cages that are parametric in nature so we do not need to start over on rebar when a design change occurs.
