Has anyone been able to solve this issue?

Sri,

Has there been any progress on the Pro-Steel issue with OBM created elements?

I notice your example of reinforcement is for the footings and columns. Do you have examples for the beams and slabs? I cannot find a way to get Pro-Concrete to recognise them.

Is there any guidance in how Pro-Structures and OBM links?

Mike, When you click the ProStructures button from inside OBM, it should start ProStructures and you should be able to use the OBM tools to place reinforcement in the model.

Update: 8/17/16: Mike, I have confirmed with development that the steel girders (either built-up shapes or standard steel sections) are not yet recognized by ProSteel. I have added this request to our defect tracking database.

Thanks,

Sri

additionally it appears as if proconcrete doesn't recognize concrete elements created in OBM. I was under the impression that this was the case. I've seen in the prostructures forum that this was supposed to be available in SS8 as well as seeing this in marketing material from Bentley. There is a export button in OBM to send the model to PS for further detail however this functionality appears not to be present. Can anyone confirm if this functionality is present or not?

to add, is there ANY documentation at all (im not finding any) on how to detail with prostructures from an open bridge model. Im familiar with using Prostrutures (pro steel) but im clueless on how to edit a openbridge model in prostructures.
