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...

Camber on the beam, Beam need to be curved and follow the underside of the deck without gaps- Australia specific

The current beam hog modeling behavior is not as expected. While deck thickening can be applied, the supporting beams remain straight and do not conform to the underside profile of the deck. In reality, the beams should follow the curved shape of ...

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 ...

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...

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...

Simplifying Retaining Wall Construction: A Wingwall-Inspired Approach for Bridge Design

When the bridge needs a long “wingwall”, it break two part – a wingwall which is built with the abutment, and the rest part I call it “Retaining wall”. Is it possibly to make this retaining wall as easy as wingwall? That means like put the wingwal...

Expand Text Favorite Fields to the limit

Text Favorites are great. This is the primary way we transfer information from the model into intelligent annotations. Their functionality needs to be expanded to cover, quite literally, anything. If a property is discoverable anywhere in the desi...
