To create and edit bridge styles

Bridge Design for InfraWorks 360 provides a catalog of bridge styles, or you can create and edit new ones. Bridge styles are distinct from bridge deck styles (which are road styles). Bridge styles apply settings to bridge components such as the bridge deck, abutment, piers and bearings.

To create or edit a deck style

Bridge deck styles are not bridge styles, they are road styles with 3D decorations such as barriers, medians, fences, and handrails.
  • Create and edit bridge deck styles in the Street/Bridge Deck catalog on the Road tab of the Style Palette.

    See To edit road styles for more information.

  • Select a bridge and use the Bridge asset card to change the deck style for only the section of the road containing the selected bridge.

    See: To change the deck style for more information.
