Create Mast

Ribbon: Catenary Design > Catenary

Masts are determined by their position and their assignment to a track path. They serve as fastener for cross spans. Depending on the defaults in the options, masts are often created automatically. Nevertheless you can create a mast manually with the function Create Mast.
