Bridge Object Discretization Points Assignments Form

User discretization points allow specification of points along the span where the bridge object will be discretized. A skew also can be specified associated with the discretization point. The user discretization points supplement the discretization specified when the linked model is updated.

In most models it is not necessary to create user discretization points. The discretization specified when the linked model is updated is sufficient.

Use the Bridge Object Discretization Points form to add discretization points (i.e., breaks) to selected bridge spans.

Add button. With selections and entries made in the Span drop-down list and Distance and Bearing edit boxes, click the Add button to add the data to the discretization points definition.

Modify button. Highlight a previously defined definition, make the necessary changes and then click the Modify button to update the data.

Delete button. Highlight a previously defined definition and click the Delete button to remove the selected data.
