Reports and Drawings

Table 1. Bridge Reporting group
Tool name Description


Quantities Report
Opens the report Preview window with the quantities report loaded for editing and output creation.


Input Report
Opens the Preview window with parameters used to generate a report listing all the input for the model.


XYZ
Used to generate a report of the Cartesian coordinates of each front and back template point for all segments in a segmental bridge.


Deck
Opens the Deck Elevation Report dialog, which is used to generate a report of deck elevations parametrically.


Beam
Generates elevations along tenth points of each of the beams in a bridge unit.


Bearing Seat
Used to generate a report of bearing seat elevations for the bridges and bridge units in the model.


Camber
Opens the Beam Camber and Deflections dialog, which is used to specify beam camber and deflection values for creating girder top and screed elevation reports.


Pier
 


Dynamic View By Station
Used to generate a dynamic cross section (cut) view of the model at a given station.

Settings
Opens then Drawings: Dynamic View Settings dialog, which is used to


Create Drawings
Used to select a pier or abutment for which you want to generate automated drawings.


Create
Used to select a station along an alignment to generate automated superstructure section cut drawings.


Place Named Boundary
Used to place one or more named boundaries and optionally create saved view(s) and automate dynamic views.
Named Boundaries The named boundaries manages named boundaries and named boundary groups.
Adjust Profile Named Boundaries Used to adjust profile named boundaries after initial layout.

Table 3. Measure group
Tool name Description


Measure Distance
Used to measure distance. The coordinates are always reported from the active model and not from a reference file attachment.


Measure Radius
Used to measure:
  • The radius of a circle or circular arc.
  • The radius of a cone or cylinder.
  • The primary and secondary axes of an ellipse or elliptical arc.
  • The radius of a circular segment or axes of an elliptical segment of a complex chain or complex shape.


Measure Angle
Used to measure the angle between two lines or segments of a line string, shape, or multi-line. If the selected lines do not intersect, an intersection point is computed to serve as the vertex of the measured angle.


Measure Length
Used to measure the length of an element(s) and analyze mass properties. For a closed element or a surface, the length of the perimeter or wireframe geometry is measured.


Measure Area
Used to measure area and perimeter.


Measure Volume
Used to measure the volume enclosed by an element or a set of elements and to analyze mass properties. The element(s) must completely enclose a volume; if a volume is not enclosed, a message appears in the status bar.
