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?
You can still separate the files for plans production, which is where the bulk of the time is spent and where you need to divide and conquer. Updating a component of the model takes seconds, sometimes a few minutes at most, so there really isn't any kind of production choke point there unless I am missing something. We haven't had any issues with it thus far.
