To modify parametric bridge and tunnel components
You can use the Style Palette to copy and modify existing parametric bridge or tunnel components, or modify custom parametric components that you add as .IPT or .RFA files.
Note: InfraWorks also supports the use of parametric decorations for component roads and bridges. You can add, modify, or review parametric decorations in the City Furniture > Decorations folder within the Parametric Models tab of the Style Palette. See
To import parametric decorations.
