Skew angle and transverse offset parameters for support lines that have skew > 0. User need to enter T value for skewed supports.  Image Removed Skew angle and longitudinal offset parameters for support lines that have skew > 0.  Image RemovedSupport Lines ( Normal - Offset ) in the figure are parallel. However longitudinal offset parameter for insertion points does not keep their assigned support line orientation. Insertion points are relocated with respect to the imaginary support line at “offset” distance away. |
After clicking on 'Bridge Geometry> Insertion Point' in the navigation treeview, follow the steps to define the Insertion Point. You can use the collapsed documentation page below for more information on the explanations of each parameter. |
