To add or modify piers

Choose a pier style for your bridge from a catalog of parametric pier components, then edit pier properties as desired.

You can move and rotate bridge piers in Edit mode using the transform and rotate gizmos. Use the Bridge asset card to change the number of piers for a bridge. To manually delete a pier from a bridge, select a pier in Edit mode, then press the Delete key.

To change pier style (using parametric components)

  1. Select the bridge and then click again on a pier to select it.

    • Click to toggle bridge deck transparency.
    • Click to adjust terrain surface opacity.
    • Click to manage visibility for the terrain layer.
  3. Once you select a pier, its asset card will display.
