RM Draw Manager


RM Draw Manager was developed to directly create bridge construction drawings as a post-processing in RM Bridge; though, later RM Bridge View was added and OpenBridge Modeler was created to concentrate all model and production tools so this area is now under improvement at OBM.

After your model has been calculated it is possible to initialize and run RM Draw Manager. Go to File\Extras\RM Draw Manager. It is also necessary to set up the seed files (.DGN original source files) and the layout at the dialog box. At the RM Draw window top Menu there are the options for Insert, Delete, Reset and Synchronize Drawings and Index. The Drawing template menu contains all the possible Templetes to be used, as shown below. User can open each Folder and view Object or Detail and view an Schema or the actual Drawing that is produced.

A <BrIM> folder is generated inside your project working directory where Layout, Master and Templat *.ini files are stored with their respective level symbology, fonts and drawing elements and drawing layouts. This BrIM Folder has the main subdivisions for General Layout, with 3D Model, 3D Tendon, Alignment; Axes, with Horizontal Alignment, Vertical Alignment, Elevation view; Deck, with Typical Sections, Tendon Groups, Segment Sections; Construction, with Simulation, Camber Lines; and Shop Drawings, with Individual Segment Sections, and Segments with Rebar quantities and location.

The General Layout sub-folder includes 3D Model, with the 3d model with all the structural nodes used; 3D Tendon, with all the tendon layout; Alignment, with all 2D alignment data. The Axes sub-folder includes Horizontal Alignment, with the 2D alignment including table of geometric elements; Vertical Alignment, with 2D alignment and profile tables; Elevation view, with 2D profile and table of geometric elements. The Deck sub-folder includes Typical Sections, with structural segments in which the bridge was divided; Segment Sections, with typical cross sections of the segments used in the structural model; Tendon Groups, with tendon layout dgn files; Tendon Schemes, with diagramatic representation of the tendon layouts along the bridge segments. The Construction sub-folder includes Structural Model, with structural model used, nodes, segments, abutments and piers; Stage Construction drawings; and Camber Lines. The Shop Drawings sub-folder includes Individual Segment sections, with segments design data in 2D and 3D; and Segment steel reinforcement.
