OpenRoads/FlowMaster Calculation and Annotation

PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...

ORD Seeding Reports Like GEOPAK

Ohio DOT would like the ability to create Seeding Reports like those that could be generated within GEOPAK from the cross section candidate elements (or components) with their end width (slope lengths) including similar options that GEOPAK offered...

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...

port all Regression tools from OpenRail to OpenRoads

There are some regression tools that were ported from openRail into openRoads in previous releases. However, they didn't port every regression tool. Most notably, they did not port the Vertical regression tools for creating a regressed profile. We...

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

LEAP Bridge Concrete, PS girder: add separate unit weights for 1) SW calculation and 2) for modulus of elasticity

Currently there is only a singe input for concrete density in the prestressed girder design module. This density is used to calculate the weight of the beam and also the E modulus. There should be 2 separate inputs for density. One would be used f...

Generate Geometry Points with Deed Boundary Tool

RIght of Way take tables are required with named points. The normal workflow is to create points then origin point persist snap those elements creating the shape of the deed boundary to the points. In this way the legal reports show the point name...

Use Analyze Point Tool in Sheet/Drawing Models

We need to be able to track alignment data to check sheet annotation. Would be very helpful to have an easy way to do this in sheets. Since an alignment or terrain would still need to be selected, the sheet scale shouldn't matter. This would work ...

Add ability to use manually drawn pier cap templates extruded up/down station

OBM is limited in the cap shapes it can accommodate currently. It would be very helpful if we had the ability to draw cap shapes in the front elevation view and use those as templates, which OBM extrudes in the up/downstation direction. We would l...

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...
