Hi all,
We have a specific OpenBridge workflow that I can't seem to figure out. Say we have an urgent job that needs a quick turnaround, we would get multiple designers to work on the job at once. One would work on the abutments, one on the piers, one on the deck, one on the barriers, etc. How would we do this in OpenBridge?
I have tried creating a 'Bridge setout.dgn'. This model has the alignment, profile, support lines, and beam layout. That is then referenced into the 'Deck.dgn', and the 'Abutments.dgn' and 'Piers.dgn'. And a different person would be able to model, reinforce and document in each of those separate dgns. However, it doesn't seem possible to set the referenced bridge setout as the active bridge. This means that you can't select the support lines to create abutments, piers, etc.
Am I missing a trick here?
Just for clarification, are you looking for multiple people to be doing the design/engineering on the various elements at the same time or just the plans production?

So, have the actual bridge entity set up with its alignment, etc. In a master model and be able for users to reference it in and set it as active in their dgns to build elements of the same bridge separately...would be awesome.

We too are looking for a functionality like this! To be able to have different designer working on different part of the bridge. Bentley should add this it would make the software so much more usable!
Hi Colby,
That is correct!
Thanks Vlad, I figured this would be the case. I guess for a multi user workflow we would need one person to control the bridge geometry and modelling. Then this model could be referenced into other files for other designers to do reinforcement modelling and detailing.
