Finished Grade Elevations on Approach Slabs

I don't believe we can select the limits of the approach slabs when running the deck elevations report. Many DOTs require slab elevations to be reported on the approach slabs in addition to the bridge decks - adding this functionality would be gre...

Add minimum vertical clearance results to delta surface tool

After creating the delta surface, we could not determine the location of minimum vertical clearance. We tried the analyze surface tool and it showed us coordinates of the min/max locations. However, the locations were outside of the delta surface....

shear studs on cross-frames

I'd like to be able to add shear studs on Cross-Frames (specifically Built-up End Diaphragms).

RM Bridge Envelopes for Shell Forces

I would like to start using RM Bridge with shell elements for transverse analysis, however, I have just found out that currently it does not provide envelope results for shell forces, this is an essential tool for live load transverse analysis.

Import Item Type Values

Currently, we can set default values for item types and then change them once they are drawn into the file. However, if the values that we need to input into the item type are coming from a source outside of ORD, there's no way to import that info...

Place custom pier and/or abutment via reference

The only option for placing a custom pier or abutment is by cell. It would be great if we had an option to place custom pier or abutment with a reference. Using standalone pier models have a lot of benefits and keeps the main model less heavy.

For steel beams- When we create stiffeners and use them in cross frame definition, regardless of the method used, the stiffener tables when opened default to the first stiffener in the OBM library rather than the stiffener used in cross frame definition

Currently when we create a new stiffener and then when we create cross frames using those stiffeners, they don't show up when you open stiffener definition after creating cross frames (the first stiffener definition within the selection is shown)

Allow modeling of Pier Segments with different cross section

For Segmental Bridge Modeling, Pier caps segments typically have diaphragms built in and are a different cross section than the other typical segments. OBM should allow this to be modeled.

Ability to change civil labeler border sizes

The borders that can be used for the civil labeler tool are different sizes. The ability to modify the sizes would help in adjusting the size based on the user needs. The dimension styles have this ability for the symbols used around the text.

Deck Elevation at Coping Break Back Points

OBM has the option to create a deck elevation report parallel to start of the support or normal to the alignment. Bentley should include the option to find the elevation and station of the bent traverse line to not intersect with the railing lines...
