Used to place a deck template between supportlines for
a cast-in-place box bridge.
Found on the
Home ribbon tab in the
Superstructure group.
To place a deck between supportlines, you must select
the first and second supportlines, and click to continue. The Place Advanced
Deck dialog opens up, and you can define deck sections, Diaphragms and Variable
Constraints and click OK to generate the deck.
If you select to Add Constraints, then the
Solid Constraints Definition dialog
opens. Specify any necessary point or variable constraints along the deck and
then click
Apply.

Description |
| Start Station Offset
|
Offset distance along stationing from the
starting supportline station to the start of deck.
|
| End Station Offset
|
Offset distance along stationing from the end
of deck to the end supportline station.
|
| Horizontal Offset
|
Horizontal offset distance from alignment to
WP of deck template.
|
| Vertical Offset
|
Vertical offset distance from alignment to WP
of deck template.
|
| Chord Tolerance
|
A lower tolerance allows for further
refinement in the alignment and profile curves, and helps in building a more
accurate model. Uses master units.
A finer model results in a larger file size,
and depending on the model could take more time to regenerate.
|
| Max Dist Between Sections
|
Type a distance to use for the accuracy of the
modeled object.
A lower number increases the model accuracy
for tight radius curves, etc. but can slow performance. Uses master units.
