To modify bridge attributes

Most attributes for a selected bridge are editable in the Stack.

Select the bridge. Attributes of the selected bridge display in the Stack.

Tip: 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.

Note: You can also modify attributes for bridge components such as the Bridge Deck, Girders, Girder Groups, Piers, Pier Foundations, and Abutments in the Stack. See To select bridge components.

1. Bridge Name: click on the current bridge name to switch between bridges in your model.

2. Type: click the blue hyperlinked bridge type name to change the bridge template.
