Calculate the area of survey chains if they are enclosed shapes

Survey chains (when enclosed) have a reported area value of zero. This is seen in the properties for the geometry, and also if you try to read the area through an item type using the expression This.GetElement().EnclosedArea. Our construction staf...

Drop Complex Status alignment but keep FD

When editing vertical alignments. When I want to edit a complex vertical alignment by adding or removing elements I usually use Drop Complex Status because I find it easier to edit those single elements than edit apart and then use Complex Redefin...

WS wind speeds table for FDOT Sdg 2.4 (and combinations) are not updated as per 2025

There appears to be a discrepancy in wind load calculations—specifically, the gust factor of 0.85 remains different from AASHTO standards. However, the FDOT Structures Design Guidelines (SDG) 2025 now allow the use of AASHTO Article 3.8, which may...

When looking at point controls/parametric constraints in Corridor Objects, highlight affected point(s) in dynamic XS view.

The legacy corridor modeler would put a white crosshair in the XS view on the specific point being manipulated when the corresponding point control was selected. I'd like this same functionality in the dynamic XS view.

Civil Cells does not recognize turnout elements

Civil cells does not support turnout or crossing elements. Ability to include turnout and crossings in civil cells, will enable creating civil cells for siding and yard areas.

Station Offset Report

When working on Finish Grade Elevations, I have been utilizing the Station / Offset Tool in the OBM Geometry Report flow to capture my T-line points along Beam Lines and print the report for documentation. The bridge I am currently working on is o...

OBM Longitudinal Bearing Slope

In OBM, when using the "Modeled as sloped bearing seats" option, I expected the bearing seat to slope longitudinally as well—not just transversely. This is especially relevant for precast bearings, which often consist of a variable grout pad and a...

OBM Change in the Direction of the Slope

I'm currently developing a bridge model that includes a gore area, and I'm encountering some modeling challenges. The main issue is with the deck slope: the slope direction changes across the width of the bridge, but the deck template is constrain...

Slope direction from auxiliary alignment

In modeling a gore area, I need the slope direction to follow an auxiliary alignment. However, when using corridor information from OpenRoads Designer (ORD), it becomes incompatible with OpenBridge Modeler (OBM) if there's a change in slope direct...
