[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…
LEAP concrete superstructure OFFSET issue
I am analyzing a pier supporting 2 simple spans that are 45 degree skewed. 1. I am confused what offset needs to be entered in superstructure definition? 2. How is this offset playing a role in LL generation? I noticed that changing offset is changing…
In open roads, what is the difference between a civil element, and a traditional element? Where are these properties inherited from, are they immutable? Where is this documented for us as users? Is there a list of "element types" and which tools
It feels like every time I use any tool on any element it in open roads (10.10) it results in a vague error that's impossible to troubleshoot unless I perfectly complete like 15 actions. I have an alignment I'm trying to set to a terrain model, I don…
OpenTunnel Designer - Create Alignment
I'm completly new to OpenTunnel Designer. I use Leapfrog to model the ground and import it to OTD as IFC. The very first step is to import an alignment. I have the Tunnelalignment as an Excelsheet with X/Y/Z for each station.
As I found out the alignment…
[OBM] Create Bridge Alignment from Road Alignment
Hi everyone,
I recieved from the road designer the road alignmet for my project. The aligment is parrallel to the middle of the bridge and in 2.85m offset from the middle of the bridge.
I know it is possible to create vertical offset for both the…
Creating alignments in OBM
Hi,
I have for some time tried to generate an alignment in OpenBridge Modeler, but haven't succeed yet. I have watched a bunch of videos trying to capture what to do and I have figured out the most, but when trying to get to get the last step binding…
OBM Deck Template with Offset Grade Line
How does one set up a deck slab template when the profile is not located at the alignment? In my case the cross-sectional shape of the deck is shaped like a simple gable roof but the grade line is not located at the peak (where the alignment is) but rather…
[OBM Connect] Wingwall parallel to alignment
Hi,
There is no help for version .704 so not sure what that option is suppose to do but I want to achieve is my wingwall to follow the curvature of the alignment. I believe I found a relevant option but the tool seems to not work. Please see attached…
Longitudinal Section in OpenBridge Connect version. Is it possible to follow the alignment of the bridge?
Hello to everyone,
I would like to know if someone knows if it is possible to create a longitudinal section of a bridge along its alignment so that if the bridge is in horizontal curve I can get the real longitudinal profile? Perhaps it is possible…
OpenBridge - How to update an existing Alignment
My situation is that I have an alignment sent to me as an alg file, which I have imported into OpenBridge and have used to make bridges. I have received another alg file which contains updates to the current alignment. Whenever I try to import this new…
OpenBridge Deck Slab - Keeping Soffit of Deck Slab horizontal (not following vertical curvature of the alignment)
Is there any way to allow the Top face of the slab to follow the curvature of the alignment (horizontal and vertical), but for the Soffit of the slab to remain level (horizontal, but vertical is fixed). Or for the slab to be placed to follow the horizontal…
[OBM] Can't use ORD alignment for bridge model
Hi,
I want to use an alignment created in OpenRoads Designer to create bridge model in OBM. Surprisingly, I can't use it for bridge because OBM doesn't see the active profile - when I hoover over my alignment it says: No Active Profile.
Is it WAD…
Auto Annotate alignment
I have a project where we are tying into existing bridges, so I had to create the alignment & profile myself based on the info in the PDF plans. I saw a video showing that you can auto annotate an alignment, but that method involved assigning a specific…
What is the best way for both OpenRoads and OpenBridge modelers to work from the same alignment?
Is it possible for both to reference in a single alignment file (stored on projectwise), thus changes to that alignment file would result in updated OpenRoad and OpenBridge Models?
LEAP Bridge Concrete Connect: Geometry and Importing Alignments
When you're working in the "Bridge Parametric Layout" is there a way to import roadway alignments from InRoads (.alg file)? I'm able to import one alignment using the ABC wizard, but only one alignment. If you're working on a grade separation with multiple…
RE: OBM - What's the best way to bring in alignments?
Eric, Using the Civil elements in a reference file is the recommended best practice. You can certainly modify your imported InRoads alignment once it is imported and in your OBM file, but depending on the complexity of the alignment, we may introduce…
Eccentric Column in LEAP Steel Bridge
I am trying to model curve steel-plate girder in LEAP Steel as an alternative to the current software we are using now. I am working on a three-span continuous steel plate girder now.
One issue I have now is to define pier offset to the alignment. The…
CONSPAN Flared Girder Alignment Dialog
Hi, guys, I have a question regarding "Bridge Alignment" for "Flared Girder" in CONSPAN.
The help file tells "CONSPAN assists the design by computing the distance between supports along the centerlines of the bridge and, if desired, along the centerline…

Looking for approach to model retaining walls
MicroStation is our CAD platform on a project whose scope includes modeling all proposed retaining walls. We've used LEAP in the past to model bridges, and InRoads to model face of wall, but we'll now need to go into more detail.
As is characteristic…
