  New Features in LEAP Bridge v.9.0.0

• The ABC Wizard now allows you to model abutments including stem wall or pile cap type abutments. 3D models and 2D dimensioned drawings and data exchange from superstructure to substructure design are now automatic.
  
  
• You can now connect to a LandXML file holding ground information (3d points and faces). The ground can then be optionally displayed in the 3D viewer.
  
  
• Ability to define multiple cross-section templates within ABC Wizard with support for direct read in from LandXML file.
  
  
• When the OpenGL viewer is used a compass showing north is displayed in the lower right corner. Similarly if the option to show alignment is selected, the alignment is shown graphically with true horizontal, vertical profiles and cross sections.
  
  
• The specification of battered piles is now possible right within the ABC Wizard. The battered piles are shown in all 3D and 2D views appropriately.
  
  
• Several new user friendly changes were made to the user interface including new menus for 2D and 3D viewer options and toolbars for 2D and 3D graphics.
  
  
• The ABC Wizard now allows the specification of drilled shafts, generates 3D and 2D displays and integrates this information with the substructure design program.
  
  
• A new option has been added to show XYZ co-ordinates of any point either on the ground or on the bridge model.
  
  
• New option for alignment tie by co-ordinates (northing and easting) has been provided in the alignment dialog in ABC Wizard.
  
  
• Enhanced the multiple bridges definition, such that parallel bridges with offsets from primary alignment can be specified easily.
  
  
• The ABC Wizard allows you to model bearing dimensions including length, width and depth in step 3.
  
  
• Integrated with new stepped cap option in RCPIER and GEOMATH and 2D/3D displays in LEAP Bridge.
  
  
• New pre-stressed girder cross sections are now handled including hollow-core slabs, channel sections, and precast solid slabs.
  
  
• Cross-sections feature now expanded to include multiple cross-sections in ABC Wizard (either by input in ABC Wizard or by importing from LandXML).
  
  
• Reports enhanced to now include fields for checked by, checked date, option to print time stamp on reports and re-organized headers.
  
  
• LEAP Bridge is now available under Bentley Educational License.
