I am attempting to model a 2-Span Bridge in LEAP Concrete v18 using the ABC generatior and am having trouble getting the alignments of all the all the pieces correct.
I am importing the alignment from an .alg file. However, the bridge CL is offset 9' to the right of the PGL, so I have entered the offset in the alignment tab of +9'.
When I enter the cross-slope section, I have experimented with using both the PG Offset of 9' and having the cross-slope planes be the same length (as appears to be the default when I generate the geometry) as well changing the length of the two cross-slope planes so that the PGL already lines up with the alignment and setting the PG Offset to 0'.
The trouble that I am running into is with the pier. On one side of the bridge, it ends at the edge of the bridge but on the other side it extends past the edge of the bridge due to clearance requirements. This means that the CL of the bridge and the pier do not line up and the pier is longer than the out to out of the bridge. However, when I move the pier to the correct location in the Geometry module, it displays correctly in that module, but the changes do not carry over to the main model.
Originally I was modeling the bridge with the alignment offset 0' from the CL of the bridge, this feature functioned properly (as seen below):
Let me know if you need any more information about the file or just the project file itself. This seems to be a bug, but is also EXTREMELY possible that I have just made an error in data entry.
Thanks!
