I need to create a new beam type in open bridge. there are two different sizes. one is 12" tall X 3'-11.75" long and the other one is 12" tall x 4'-11.75". In Texas they are called slab beams, but I am not sure how to create two new ones.
Currently at OpenBridge Modeler CONNECT Edition there are the Bridge Type options as explained in this article at the links below. This includes the RC Slab Bridge Type, i.e., Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridge that are the simple deck-only structures, also known as slab bridges.

As shown in the screenshot below, user can access this first step of the bridge modelling inside the OpenBridge Modeler Workflow, highlighted at the top left, of your .DGN file; then, select the Home Ribbon Main Menu, also highlighted at the top left, to access the Bridge Setup Ribbon Group options where the Add Bridge button is.
Note that you can search our Communities site by keyword at the top to find older forum posts and wiki pages articles.
