Excerpt
nameInsertionPoint

Typically, insertion points are used to model bearing locations, therefore, it is recommended to have one insertion point for each bearing.

Location: Select the support lines

Longitudinal Offset [ft]: Longitudinal offset along the PGL (Projected Grade Line) from the support line.

Transverse Offset [ft]: Transverse Offset from the PGL

When working with a support line that has a skew angle greater than 0 in OpenBrIM, it is important for users to specify the transverse offset(T) along the support line, not along the PGL(Y). This is demonstrated in the figure below.

If a support line has a skew angle greater than 0 and longitudinal offsets greater than 0 are being used, then the longitudinal offset parameter is applied perpendicular to the support line.
