OBM Create Substructure Drawings Cut Plane Orientation
I'm using the built-in workflow for creating substructure drawings as seen here. When I click on the pier the automatic section plane is shown at an angle, not parallel to the Support Line. The angle appears to be random, not associated with global coordinates…
How do I copy a pier to multiple locations in LEAP Concrete?
I have a multi-span structure with 3 very similar piers with variable pier caps. In the ABC bridge wizard I defined a generic rectangular cap pier since it did not have the variable depth option in the wizard. I have now redefined one of the piers with…
OBM Bearing Pad Definition
Is there a way to place two bearing pads per beam location as shown below?
Can you model a curved or bent supportline in OpenBridge Modeler?
Wondering if there is a way to model a curved or bent (broken-back) support line in OpenBridge Modeler?
Thanks,
Alicia
How can I break the link between a LEAP Bridge Concrete file that imported data from OpenBridge Modeler?
I would like to use a one-way workflow, to send only geometric data from OBM to LEAP Bridge Concrete for use in designing the Substructures. I can get the data from OBM to import into LEAP initially, but any geometric changes I make to the pier caps within…
Can I analyze a Wooden Deck Steel Bridge with LEAP Steel?
I would like to analyze a steel stringer bridge that has a transverse nail laminated wood deck. Am I able to import this wood into the Material Library in any way?
Can you use CSA S6:19 as the Design Specification on LEAP Steel?
I would like to use CSA S6:19 as the design spec for my steel bridge design in LEAP Bridge Steel. Am I able to do this? I would prefer to use SCA S6:19 over AASHTO spec.
OpenBridge crashing when trying to debug SDK example
All,
I am trying to debug the example for OBM but I am facing an issue while starting the applcation. OpenBridge is crashing straight on the first line of code
ObmGeometryModelConsensusSDK.Initialize();
I have copied the dlls provided in the redist…
Open Bridge Designer Leap Bridge Steel - Partial Length Girders
I am pretty new to using Leap Bridge Steel, and have a question regarding a project I am working on. I have attached a general framing plan, and was wondering if Leap Bridge Steel was capable of modeling it, mainly due to the partial length girders. The…

[OBM] How can I change which alignment my bridge is associated with?
I created a bridge in OBM that is associated with a placeholder "Alignment A", which I created in my OBM model. Roadway has since provided me an official "Alignment B" for the project which I have referenced into my OBM file. Is there a way to associate…

Open Bridge Modeler Add Units
I modeled a 4-span bridge as a single unit but now I need to update the model to add a unit so that each unit is 2 spans. Is there a way this can be done without revising the entire model?
