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...

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...
