When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Analyze Volume Terrain model misses the old "Triangle Volume report" option

When using the "Analyze Volume Terrain model" tool the only way to save the result is to place a text in the dgn file. As in the legacy product (PowerCivil/InRoads) we need to be able to save a report (eg. using TriangleVolumes.xsl) ...it should b...

Georeferenced Sheet Models

Sheet models do not inherit the coordinate system from the Design model when created. The goal is to be able to create a georeferenced pdf that lays flat on aerial photography.

Staged Construction Optionality

Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...

Detection of clashes between rebars

When modeling a 3D concrete element like a bent cap with all the reinforcment, it would be helpful to have a tool to detect a clash between bars like minimum/maximum permitted spacing between them, or minimum clear cover to concrete edges, which r...

Prestressed Concrete Girder Beam End Cuts & Clips

It would be great if we could control the vertical end cut orientation of the concrete girders: Normal (as is) and Vertical (plumb to the world). Also, we often have to clip the corners of girders when bridges are on heavy skew. Would be nice to b...

Text file input for beam layouts and bridge geometry or bgs input

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

Include Custom Beam Type in Beam Definition for Steel Bridges

For Steel bridge modelling, for the beam definitions, the only possible options are defining rolled or built-up shapes or defining Tub Girders. It would be very beneficial to have an option or steel beams to define custom cross sections similar to...

Break decks into sections

Usually, the bridge deck of a precast beam is an integral unit per span. In actual construction, the bridge deck may be constructed in sections for each beam. Is it possible to break the bridge deck into sections for each beam, and further divide ...

Allow population of annotations along Plan named boundary borders

Currently, profile named boundaries have the option to populate annotations using the named boundary border as a reference line. This is how the stations and elevations come in along the bottom of the boundary. Specifically in Indiana, we are aske...
