Creating virtual signaling elements in ORD with the tool Equipment

Curently is not possible to represent signalling virtual elements that are related to an area extent and depend from 2 elements or Pk start/end. For example a neutral section, or emergency stop area, or track circuit.

Add a smooth/roughened interface parameter in LEAP Concrete

Currently, LEAP Concrete reports required interface shear reinforcement values for both a smooth and a roughened condition. It also flags a design as not passing if either minimum is not met. If I know I have a roughened girder, I should be able t...

Anisotropic shell elements in RM Bridge

The implementation of FEM shell elements as a supplement to the beams in RM Bridge Enterprise, is a useful tool. Sometimes it will be useful to model the shell elements with different properties in the longitudinal direction compared to the transv...

Create Profile Named Boundary of non-active Verticals

We need a way to manually select the vertical alignment (profile element) when creating Profile named boundaries (instead of assuming we want to use the active vertical). In cases where we have divided roadways that follow a shared centerline but ...

There is no way to easily measure an area within a cross section.

In ORD when you attempt to measure the graphics within a XS View it appears that you get the surface area of the entire cut or fill volume. As a user, I need the specific end area for the element. Presently you have to trace the element with a mea...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

SignCAD Layout Generation From Street-Level Imagery

This would be useful as we currently manage multiple signage replacement projects per year (10-15) that involve the layout of hundreds of signs in SignCAD. This represents a large portion of the labor hours in the creation of engineering plans for...

Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...

Radial line of sight - Along alignment for visual intrusion checks

The new feature in 2022 R3 with the line of sight/ Radial sight check is good for a single check, but being able to run the radial tool along an alignment at set intervals to be able to check for visual intrusion. This will be a great design aid i...
