Click on 'DATA' located in the bottom-middle section of the screen.

You will see that a spreadsheet opens.

To adjust the height of the spreadsheet, you can click and hold the 'DATA' with the left mouse button, then drag it to the desired position.

To close the spreadsheet, you just need to click once on the 'DATA' button.

2

Click on the 'Support Line' under 'Bridge Geometry' in the workflow to set the skew angle.

3

To change the skew angle of 'Abut1', click on the corresponding cell (mark in red).

You can zoom in and out by using the scroll wheel of your mouse. To move around, press and hold the scroll wheel while moving your mouse.

If the bridge is out of view, you can realign the bridge by clicking on the “(blue star)” button located in the top right corner of the screen.

Once you click on an object, pressing “(blue star)” will allow you to rotate around that object. To rotate an object, hold down the left mouse button and drag it.

4

When the skew angle value of 'Abut1' is zero, it appears like this.

5

When we set the skew angle of ‘Abut1' to '-15’ degrees, it appears like this.

As seen, the cross-frames are not aligned according to the support line.

To parametrically align the skew angle of the cross-frame with the skew angle of the support line, we need to copy the skew angle of the support line using the "Copy Parameter" function. Then, we will paste this parametric expression into the skew angle value of the cross-frame.

6

Click on the skew angle cell of 'Abut1'.

When you click on the cell, you will see three dots appear to the right of the cell.

Then click on the three dots that appear on the right side of the cell.

Then, click on 'Copy Parameter'. Now, the value of the skew angle has been copied parametrically.

The parameter we copied exactly is: =Abut1.s_skew

7

Please expand the 'Cross Frames' section under 'Superstructure' in the workflow. Then click on 'Cross-frame K Top'.

8

After clicking on the 'CFTK1' skew angle cell, click on the three dots that appear to the right of the cell.

Then, click on 'Paste'.

After clicking on the cell, you can also paste it using CTRL+V.

9

Perform the paste operation for CFKT28 and CFKT29 as well.

As seen, the skew angles of the cross-frames have been aligned with the support line.

You no longer need to manually change the skew angles of cross-frames every time the support line skew angle changes. The skew angle value of cross-frames will now be parametrically equal to the skew angle value of the support line.

11

To align the roadway with the skew angle of the support line, expand the 'Superstructure Attachments' in the workflow and then click on 'Roadway'.

Then, click on 'Edit' from the 3-dot menu on the right side of the 'Roadway Dimensions' cell.

Paste the skew angle copied from 'Abut1' into the 'Skew' parameter at zero station, as shown in step 8.
