Bridge and civil engineering module, overview

Create menu

Icon	Function	Use
	Bridge, Civil Engineering Component	You can use this tool to create bridge and civil engineering components by defining individual cross-sections at the station points of a linear path.
	Section Along Curve	You can use this tool to create a section along any 2D element.
	Tendon	You can use this tool to create the sheath and anchorage elements for a prestressing tendon in bridge and civil engineering components. The tendon uses an axis as its basis. This axis consists of points saved as a coordinate point file ending in *.re2.
	Dimension Section	You can use this tool to create elevation dimensions for a section you created with Section Along Curve.
	Unfold Shell	You can use this tool to interactively unfold a 3D entity.
	Convert Elements	You can use this tool to convert Allplan elements to different types of elements. The data are converted in the current document.
	Copy, Convert Elements Across Drawing Files	You can use this tool to convert architectural elements and reinforcement to different types of elements. The selected elements are copied to a different drawing file before they are converted.

	Modify Bridge, Civil Engineering Component	You can use this tool to modify bridge and civil engineering components you created with Bridge, Civil Engineering Component and placed in Allplan.
	Modify Section Along Curve	You can use this tool to modify a section you created with Section Along Curve. If the section is associative, it updates immediately to reflect any changes you make in the palette.
	Collision Check	You can use this tool to check whether selected 3D objects, architectural objects, SmartParts, smart symbols, fixtures or bar reinforcement collide.
	Mark Critical Model Data	You can use this tool to find critical model data (3D entities and architectural elements) in the current document or drawing file or in all drawing files that are open in edit mode. Critical model data cause problems in animation, hidden line images, associate views and, above all, in sections.
