In LEAP Bridge Steel when modeling twin tub-girders, is it possible to define custom beam paths? For a bridge deck with varying width along a 3-span unit, I need to define each tub-girder at an offset from the edges of the deck, which should result in varying spacing. Is there a way to do that?
User can define Custom Beam Path for Tub Girders.
User can vary the deck width along the length of the span in the Cross section Dialog Box. But user has to create multiple templates.
User can assign Offsets in the pier/abutment dialog Box.
For more information related to Leap Bridge Steel program please check the wiki articles in the below mentioned Bentley Communities link.

Thank you for such a quick response. I have already defined the properties you mentioned, but unfortunately when defining Member Groups the options to define custom girder spacing are grayed out. Is it not possible to select Custom Beam Paths for tub-girders?
I double checked Tutorial 3 and it looks its a limitation in the program.
I see, thanks.
