Revision Notes

Configuration for OpenBridge verion 2023. This configuration can be used with either OpenBridge Designer (OBD) or the standalone OpenBridge Modeler (OBM). The instructions below are specific to OpenBridge Designer. Phase I of the TDOT OpenBridge workspace is an initial workspace intended for use with 3D bridge modeling. Future phases of the workspace will build on Phase I to provide additional features, including model-centric plans production resources.

The installation instructions are similar to those for ORD, but are summarized below:

  1. Ensure that Bentley’s OpenBridge Designer CE 2023 (23.00.01.24) is installed.
  2. If you have files saved in the default location that you wish to save, copy the folder C:\\ProgramData\\Bentley\\OpenBridge Designer CE 2023.00\\OpenBridgeModeler\\Configuration\\WorkSpaces\\TDOT_Standards\\WorkSets to a secure location.
  3. If you have OBM templates saved in the default location that you wish to save, copy the folder C:\\ProgramData\\Bentley\\OpenBridge Designer CE 2023.00\\OpenBridgeModeler\\Configuration\\Organization-Civil\\TDOT_Standards\\OpenBridge Modeler\\Bridge Templates to a secure location.
  4. Delete the existing configuration folder:
    C:\\ProgramData\\Bentley\\OpenBridge Designer CE 2023.00\\OpenBridgeModeler\\Configuration
  5. Unzip the new workspace to C:\\ProgramData\\Bentley\\OpenBridge Designer CE 2023.00\\OpenBridgeModeler. It should create a folder called Configuration.
  6. Move any saved Worksets and Bridge Templates back to their original location (see steps 2 and 3).

As a reminder, make sure to always use the TDOTSeed3D_OBM.dgn file for new OBM files.
