Enhancing Named Boundaries: Updating Named Boundaries and Applying Geometry Rules

To enhance productivity and efficiency in live projects, we need dynamic Named Boundaries linked to Geometry. This includes the ability to update the shape or location of a named boundary after creating a sheet model, with the changes reflected in...

Upgrade Extract Contour tool to be more like Pass Through Contours tool from InRoads

The following idea is related to the survey tool gap analysis that is already being considered. The Extract Contour tool should be enhanced to place a graphic line at a specific elevation. Currently, you have to change the contour interval of my t...

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...

GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD

In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Single station Edit disassociated from baseline geometry

when a single-station edit to a cross section is made, it is disassociated to the baseline alignment. Therefore, if the baseline horizontal or vertical alignment is edited after this, the single station edit does not dynamically update to the new ...
