Offset-based Abutment Parameters

Offset-based parameters allow lateral slopes for the ballast wall and seat to be set by various ballast wall heights and seat offsets.

Parameter Description Content Parameter Parametric Value InfraWorks Set/Read Inventor Revit
Ballast wall height BallastWallHeight The vertical distance of the ballast wall top above the seat top, at the intersection of the ballast wall front and the alignment. (A common parameter to slope-based and seat-offset-based parts.) No/Yes No No
Ballast wall left height BallastWallLeftHeight The vertical distance of the ballast wall top above the seat top, at the left front edge of the ballast wall. No/Yes No No
Ballast wall right height BallastWallRightHeight The vertical distance of the ballast wall top above the seat top, at the right front edge of the ballast wall. No/Yes No No
Seat offset SeatOffset The vertical distance of the seat top below the origin’s elevation at the alignment. No/Yes No No
Seat offset left SeatOffsetLeft The vertical distance of the seat top below the elevation of the origin at the left edge of the abutment. No/Yes No No
Seat offset right SeatOffsetRight The vertical distance of the seat top below the elevation of the origin at the right edge of the abutment. No/Yes No No
