Add ability for Overlay/Stripping Top to follow the lowest between component and terrain.

We often need to provide volumes of additional excavation for substandard subgrade material to a certain depth. The easiest way to get this is through the Milling and Stripping functionality. You set the bottom of the component thickness and have ...

Ability to have multiple superstructure types in one bridge definition. For example, steel main spans with concrete approach spans is currently defined as 3 bridges

Many bridges have approach spans that are smaller in length to the main spans. For example, a bridge that crosses over a railroad ROW may have prestressed concrete in the approach spans and a continuous steel bridge over the railroad, then the end...

Ability to use end condition exceptions on linear templates

Being able to use end condition exceptions for linear templates would be extremely beneficial for roadway designers. We often use end condition exceptions to turn off slopes in order to connect external features like ditches to the corridor. Not b...

Add ability to Target Alias and clip a Conical Slope

The conical slope feature is very useful for model detailing. We use these often at bridge abutments. It would be helpful if we could target alias these features and also clip them.

Feature Lines Similar to Civil 3D

It would be nice to be able to graphically change elevation and slope of an element similar to feature lines in Civil 3D. Made it really quick to create break lines and grade areas without have to go into a profile view and create a vertical profi...

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...

Hide underground and above ground pipes and equipment

Using OpenSite Designer, is there a way to hide items, i.e. pipe, valves, and equipment, below a surface? These components are on multiple elevations above and below this surface. All components are on the same level, i.e., WATER. Client does not ...

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

Overlap detection in Corridor Objects

I noticed that template ranges can overlap and there is no obvious indication that this is occurring. Ideally over lapping station ranges should highlight in red to draw attention to it.

In the Create Template editor add a list similar to the Point Name List for Components

This would enable users to quickly edit the component feature definitions for templates in the library.
