curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

Static Item Type Expression values

Currently Item Types with Expressions update whenever properties are displayed. etc and are always "live" even via referencing, etc. This causes many issues where the original Excel lookup spreadsheet or Civil data is not present (when viewed in M...

Components of say a wingwall/abutment/pier written to their specific level

Levels would be able to turned off rather than the whole wingwall

Implement a SWITCH/CASE function for item type expressions.

A SWITCH/CASE function would be easier to use than having to nest multiple IF functions.

Expand Text Favorite Fields to the limit

Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...

Separate geometric ratios summary from stress ratio summary

OpenBridge LEAP Steel Summaries include geometric ratios (like 6.10.7.3-1) together with stress ratios. This is not helpful, as that ratios is not a real demand/capacity ratio, therefore when that geometric value of "performance ratio" is high, it...

Model a straight bridge on a curved alignment

The ability to create a straight bridge when the alignment transitions from tangent to a horizontal curve on the bridge. Currently the deck ends are controlled by the bridge skew from a radial line at the end of the deck rather than from the tange...

Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...

Clipping export of 3D models using Named Boundaries to separate dgns

When exporting a model to IFC it is possible to export the model splitting to Named Boundary Groups. This is very powerfull because you can split your model and the volume reports in smaller parts. It would also be good if you can split the dgn to...
