To modify a bridge deck

You can review and edit bridge deck attributes in the Stack.

The bridge deck is a parametric component part.

Bridge Deck	Attributes
	Select the bridge. Attributes for the bridge will display in the Stack. As a best practice, tilt your view until you can see the bridge's girders, then single-click a girder. This will select the bridge. Click the bridge deck to select it. Attributes for the deck display in the Stack. Tip: Display or hide bridge components to see a better view of the bridge deck. Type Click the Component Deck type thumbnail image to view a schematic. Click the orange Component Deck type name to view available deck components. Attributes Modify concrete strength, superimposed dead load intensity, the thickness of the roadway wearing surface, and distances between the deck edges and inner barrier/curb edges. Set bridge deck continuity. Toggle haunches for your bridge deck on or off, and modify haunch height. Haunches are supported for bridges with 8 or less girders per girder group. Note: Haunches are not supported if a girder crosses the centerline of the bridge deck. Therefore using an odd number of girders will not allow for haunches unless you offset the center girder from the center of the bridge deck. Materials Volume Material: Choose between CIP concrete, Precast concrete, Structural steel, or other. Click the texture thumbnail image to choose a different deck material from the Material/Bridge style catalog. Section Dimensions Modify thickness, edge thickness, tapered width, and slope for the entire bridge deck. You can inspect and modify cross-sections of your bridge deck at any point along the alignment in order to configure thickness, edge thickness, tapered width, and slope attributes for individual sections of the bridge deck. Note: For bridges in superelevated roads, the deck will automatically match the superelevation slopes of the roadway. Geometry Bridge deck length is defined by the overall length of your bridge. Modify bridge start and end stations to modify deck length. When a bridge is added to component road, the bridge deck width will re-size to match the varying width of the component road assembly above it, even if the component road assembly is modified. Lifespan: add Creation and Termination date values if you want to Use Model Time. Advanced: map data source properties to the selected bridge deck, as well as add a Link or Tooltip. See: About Creating Links, Tooltips, and Watermarks. Description: optionally, add a description.
