Give option to not annotate affix if a text favorite returns blank

When annotating elements using an affix (prefix or suffix) tied to a Text Favorite, OpenRoads currently annotates the affix even if the Text Favorite evaluates to a blank or null value. This results in: Stray symbols, separators, or units (e.g.,...

Allow OBM model to interact with OBM components in a referenced OBM model

Allow for an OBM bridge to utilize bridge components from a referenced OBM file to create geometry. Example: A project requires parallel design for steel and concrete beams. Allow OBM "File A" to contain the alignment, profile, deck, and steel bea...

Enhance Generative Components so that it can be transferred to analysis models

The parametric model, Generative Components, does not allow transfer of elements to analytical models such as RM Bridge and LEAP. Please update functionality so this is possible.

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...

Bridge deck breakback variant

Add a variant to the deck breakback that allows you to adjust the angle from the break point or add a deck variant that lets you set a distance from face of backwall which would automatically set your breakbacks without the need to give a distance...

Allow Initial and Residual camber values to be entered

To aid in geometric calculations with construction staging, it would be beneficial for beams to have an erection camber and residual camber values. OBM could model two beams in the same location: 1) Construction Case Beam is before deck placement,...

add more columns for 1.33*Mu and Mcr (min. reinforcement in beams) and red the controlling moment if failing

It would solve confusion on the layout of the ultimate moment/min. reinforcement print outs/reports for bridge engineers.

Top Flange below Haunch for Steel Beams

I would be helpful in many chases to be able to set Huanch to be above Top Flange of Steel Beam, or even to set it in any place of Beams Hight.

Allow abutment body to have independent skew

Edges of abutments and footings do not always follow the alignment (i.e. not always parallel to bridge). It would be helpful to have an input for skew for each abutment end that allows for independent manipulation. Wingwalls could follow this skew...

Enable users to color code models in the Model dialog

It would helpful to be able to assign a highlight color to certain models in the model dialog. A lot of the time the files I'm working in have many different models and it can be difficult to locate the one I want quickly. I can give them appropri...
