Show Slopes in Properties

Request to add the slope of an element in the properties tab. Why is it useful? Allows designers to check slopes at a glance without using dimensioning tools. Slope in relation to the global origin would be helpful for typical sections. However, i...

Integration of OpenRoads Designer Civil Functions in Python

Add OpenRoads Designer Civil functions to Python integration allowing development of Python applications that can access/call the Civil Design processes within OpenRoads

Finite Element Analysis for curved and skewed bridges

Curved and skewed bridges often contain challenging geometric features, such as deck corners, diaphragm/cross-frame connections to girders. In these areas, the software is frequently unable to generate a reliable mesh using only the basic mesh set...

Ability to annotate models over a station range

Currently, the only way to update Annotation is to update ALL or one drawing model at a time. It would be very helpful to be able to select a station range to remove and then update in one action.

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...

LEAP Bridge Steel: add a tool to allow the design of the fillet weld between the web and flange

For a built-up-plate girder, There do not appear to be any tools for designing the size of the fillet weld between the web and flange. Please add a tool to allow that weld to be designed. It is a typical part of a bridge and many competing product...

LEAP Bridge Concrete, PS girder: add separate unit weights for 1) SW calculation and 2) for modulus of elasticity

Currently there is only a singe input for concrete density in the prestressed girder design module. This density is used to calculate the weight of the beam and also the E modulus. There should be 2 separate inputs for density. One would be used f...

Transpose Element option to Create a Copy.

When using the Transpose tool, the software makes a copy of the element you are selecting to transpose, and that is the element that is reversed, leaving behind the original underneath. Most of the time I do not want a copy of the transposed eleme...
