Dear All, I am new to OBM, I have problem as above screenshot.I created the Beam layout as 5 Beams, but after I place beam to that layout, there are only two beams appear.Can you guys tell me, what causes the problem here.Thank you,
Hi all,
The bridge object in OBM depends on the civil alignment (stations, elevations, etc.), also the supportlines are depending on the alignment. The solids are created inside the boundaries defined by the start/end supportlines but at the same time, the supportlines relate to the alignment position. Because your alignment has the exact length as the bridge, when you introduce a skew for the supportline, that support line "exits" the alignment limits, thus, the solid can't be created.
Another thing that I have noticed in your files is that your profile has a 0 elevation. Yous should create a profile with an elevation higher than 0 because OBM footings can adapt to the elevations and if your profile is in 0, the footings will overlap the girder geometry. Attached is a video with the fix for your model.

Thank you so much! Your explanation along with the video helped a lot.
