"Eric, The user input Top of Footing Elevation should be available in the next commercial release of OBM, i.e. V8i SS 2, tentatively planned for January 2017."

Great. I look forward to the next release.

"Yes if you select the footing in the tree view, you should be able to see the Footing Elevation as shown in the image below."

Thanks for the tip. That is great to know and until the next release I can work backward by adjusting the column length to control the top of footing.

"We are working on introducing user input Top of Footing Elevation, so user has some control in these kind of situations."

I hope this is implemented soon. We are trying to come up with a workflow on how to model an existing bridge condition. It would be very beneficial to be able to specify an actual top of footing elevation based on as-built information. This will help with clash detection for proposed bridge work and utilities.

As it is now, can I get information off a footing in OBM and see what the TOF elevation is?

Thanks,
Eric

Reviewed Kyle's model, and responded directly. Abutment had large negative elevation constraint, and this was controlling rather than the depth specified in the abutment properties dialog.

Great suggestions for future versions of OBM.

Multiple DTMs: We are working on introducing user input Top of Footing Elevation, so user has some control in these kind of situations. Multiple DTMs need to be investigated.

Regarding “Ability to copy up 3D shape to dgn to add visualization features”, another workaround:

Corridor vertical clearance: I agree, we certainly need something specific to bridge.
