Sofistik Bridge Modelar Define Cross Section Family

Bridge Profile Families are generic model adaptive families that consist of at least one closed loop of lines. They contain an adaptive point used as the insertion point on an axis. Several predefined bridge profile types are included in the installation directory, and additional deck line profiles have been added for creating custom bridge profiles more easily. The bridge profiles can be customized by copying, renaming, and modifying existing profiles.

Bridge Profile Family

You can use Superstructure command to create bridge components along the chosen axis.
Generated object is an adaptive component family, which is constructed using loft
functionality with the adaptive profiles.

Bridge Profile Families are Generic Model Adaptive Families (.rfa), which consist at least
one closed loop of lines. Profile Family needs an adaptive point, which will be used as
insertion point on the axis.

You can find some types of bridge profile in the installation directory.

 Simple T-Beam
 T-Beam with single slope
 T-Beam with double slope

 Double T-Beam with double slope
 Hollow with single slope

Note

 
Additionally, bridge deck line profiles were added to installation directory. You can use them to create
your own bridge profile easily.

 SOFiSTiK_cover_single_slope.rfa
 SOFiSTiK_cover_double_slope.rfa

You can use already prepared Revit Families, customize them or create your own ones.

Customization
If you want to customize your own Bridge Profile Family:
 Copy one bridge profile, rename it and save it locally
 Open the family and change the parameters or geometry according to your
wish. Move Point Elements or add new ones.
 Use ‘Spline Through Points’ command to create a closed loop between the
points.
Tip

 
While creating a loop, select two points and click on the ‘Spline Through Points’ command.
Otherwise you can meet some difficulties while creating the loop.

Note

 
While parametrizing your Profile Family, take care, that internal loops will not intersect or be moved
outside an external loop.

Following rules have to be considered:


 All of the lines have to create a closed loop
 Only one external loop is allowed
 All of the other loops have to be located inside an external loop. They will
be interpreted as openings of the component.
 All of the loops have to be created on one plane only (Middle: Left/Right)
