Follow the below steps to link the inputs to each other. |
...
Go back to Support Lines tab at the Bridge Geometry.
...
...
Enter the skew angle 30 for the Pier2. Internal parameter name used for skew angle is s_skew.
...
Go to Rotation parameter at the Rectangular Foundation tab.
...
...
Enter '=Pier2.s_skew'.
Rotation parameter is the same as skew parameter of the support lines.
...
...
As the skew parameter changes, the rotation parameter will also change.
