To apply or reset changes to bridge components
Once you have modified a bridge component such as a girder, pier, foundation, or abutment, you can selectively apply your changes to other components in the part family, or reset component settings to the default for the current bridge style.
- In Edit mode, Select a bridge component and perform any desired modifications.
- Right-click on the component (this could be the bridge deck, a girder or girder group, a pier, pier foundation, or abutment) and hover over Apply To....
Refer to the table below for more information.
- If you choose Apply To... Next Selection, you will be prompted to select the other component(s) that you want to apply your modifications to. For example, if you modify a girder and then click Apply To... Next Selection, the bridge will highlight available girders for your "Next Selection" in pink. Click each girder that you want to apply your modifications to, and press Enter on your keyboard to finish.
