Bridge Tendon Layout Display Form

As the name suggests, the Bridge Tendon Layout Display form displays all defined tendons in Elevation, Plan, and Section (cross-section) views. The S display box associated with the Elevation view is the location of the mouse pointer relative to the start of the bridge. The Z, X, and Y display boxes associated with the Elevation and Plan views show the mouse pointer location relative to the specified Coordinate System (see below). The X' and Y' display boxes associated with the Section view show the mouse pointer location relative to a local coordinate system for the bridge section.

To zoom into any location, use the mouse to draw a window over the area of interest in any of the views. Use the Zoom Full button to restore the view to its default display. The Section view has a horizontal slide bar. Drag the scroll bar to the right or the left to review the layout of the cross-section.

Use the options on the form and move the mouse over the display to review the tendon layout.
