Skewed template drop ends

Would be nice to be able to skew the end of a template range to match up with bridge abutments, cross roads, or other critical features, similar to how the geometry in OpenBridge can be skewed. This would allow cleaner corridor start and end geome...

Open up target alias to be used outside of end conditions

Allow target aliasing to be used for regular corridor components, points, etc. in addition to end conditions. A specific scenario where this would be useful is setting up a secondary corridor that needs to be editable but also follow the exact geo...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX

Button to synchronize all template drops for all corridors & linear templates in a file

I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.

Enable scaling of .3sm reality meshes attached via the Reality Mesh Attachments tool in ORD

In OpenRoads Designer 2025, .3SM reality meshes attached using the Reality Mesh Attachments tool cannot be scaled. Currently, users must rely on Transform Element or attach the .3SM as a reference to apply datum adjustment scaling. Users request n...

Ability to Change Deck and Beam Layout Limits

In recent versions of OBM, the ability to add or remove SupportLines was added. While this is helpful in some cases, it would be more helpful to have the ability to change which SupportLines a given Deck or Beam Layout belong to. That way if the S...

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

Cut and Fill Lines Connect

In the previous Bentley software our DOT used, the software was able to connect the cut and fill lines when transitioning from cut and fill between template drops. Currently the only way that is possible is to have a feature name override on the c...
