When I transfer from OBM to LEAP Steel, the field splice display is not showing properly. Usually the display shows like the picture below with the plates and bolts. Instead it is showing up with nothing. I'm assuming it is just a glitch from…

When I place an abutment template using the elevation constraints the location measures correctly in MicroStation, however the Pier printout does not appear to follow the restrictions I set. This means my pile elevations are also printed incorrectly.…

Hi, all Recently I am using OpenBridge to create the 3D model of a bridge. I used the modulus tools to create the abutments at first and then modified the solid to best match the bridge geometry. For example, I chamfer the cheek wall by cutting the…

Hello, I am having an issue where my battered pile look correct in my OBM model, but when they are transferred to LEAP they are backwards. I used the same template for the begin and end abutments, and just changed the orientation in the properties.…

Hello again, I have other question, I tried to conect OP model with RM Bridge but the program send me an error, I don't know how can I fix it Do you know how to fix the error E0053? or give an idea of what this Error E0053 wants to tell me

I'm trying to grade the terrain to suit my abutment, but I can't find a way to do it. It looks like the only way is go into OpenRoads and apply templates along the edge of the abutment to meet the terrain. The built in 'Place excavation' tool works…

Hi, Somehow the "Rule Properties" which would allow user to change / edit the element properties has disappear. Is there a way to recovery from this? I have provided 3 examples below where I show the Existing element for the file does not show the…

Hi, Any reason for OBM to be recreating new reference files ? This is slowing down drastically my progress while modeling the bridges... Every time I click on something, the software idles a at least 30+ seconds and when I go to the reference. The…

Hello all, I have a few questions and concerns regarding OpenBridge Designer (version 10.10.00.26) that I hope someone is able to answer. Please find my questions below: 1. I have a situation where multiple bridges share the same substructure (abutment…

Hi, When I send my physical model from OBM to LEAP Bridge Steel, I am getting following error message. "File Path is not valid". Please advise how to resolve this issue.

I would like to be able to hide individual lines in my section views in order to make the drawings look correct. One specific example is shown in the image. I'd like to be able to hide the line between the 2 elements so it looks like one solid element…

Hi, I would like to use this tool and would like information on the component center, Where can I find tutorial or information on this? Also is there a possibility to use the Place Auxiliary By Path tool without the component center? Thanks …

Plan Only - Bridge Construction Layout.dgnlib Test 7.dgn SurveyDeliver2DExport-2DTopoFile.dgn Hello- I have been working on creating a workflow for our Bridge group and would appreciate any help with my troubleshooting. I am using a Microstation 2D…

Our standard requires us to classify every object in the OpenBridge model according to an approved format. We are achieving this via Item Types which works well. However, when I upload the OpenBridge model to iTwin all of these item types are not visible…

I only use the modeling/detailing (OpenBridge Modeler) part of OpenBridge Designer, can I install only this part of OpenBridge Designer?

The bridge I'm working on consists of a 3 span bridge with 2 units, a simple span followed by a 2 span continuous. The bridge was modeled using the BIM workflow. Once the model was complete I used the "Send to Leap Bridge Steel" button for the simple…

I've got this weird issue in OpenBridge where I cannot delete or modify this pier. You can see in the properties window that all the properties for the pier have disappeared so I can't edit the template or elevation constraints. When I try and delete…

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…

Do elements created with OpenBridge dialogs have any intelligence that a simple Microstation elements does not? For example, if I created two matching models - one with OBM and the other with Microstation tools would there be any negatives to the Microstation…

Hi all: I am currently having issue while attempting to assign the superelevation to deck template. I have modeled a bridge using the standard "Slab w/ constraints" template and while trying to assign the superelecation ab error message appears at…

I have been trying all morning to get my variable constraint on an approach slab thickness to model correctly. As far as I can tell, the parametric constraint only works perpendicular to the bridge alignment. I need to change the thickness of my approach…

Did any of you experience issues with abutment backwall adjustment to level with the top of a deck? The deck template needs a recess for the precast part of the edge beam (aka barrier), hence an additional control point has been added (P10 in the…

Hello, I am working in OpenBridge Modeler Connect Edition (10.08.02.55) through OpenBridge Designer ( 10.08.02.10) and am experiencing an issue which causes the software to crash. I am attempting to model a bridge with different numbers of beams in…

To anyone looking for some OBM training, a while back I started offering a 3 day comprehensive consultant led OBM training service. This is a 3 day hands on training course covering: bridge modeling, reports, parametric cells (functional components),…

What is the best way to model concrete diaphragms in OBM for segmental superstructures? And add further detail such as PT anchorage blisters, PT deviator blocks and shear keys? Thanks
