Hi All,
Have anyone tried GC Connect Edition to develop parametric 3D model for roads, Tunnels and Segment Bridge structures. If possible, please share some info.
Thanks,
Anjum
Hi Brenden,
Thanks for the reply.
As you know precast segments in tunnel and bridge structures are typical and follows a fixed pattern.
So, we want to use GC to model such precast segment components and later these elements can be placed in sequence to make tunnel or bridge by linking with the given alignment drawings or details.
after modelling the Tunnel or bridge model we want to automatically generate all the original coordinates of individual precast segments (which is normally done manually). These coordinates information would be useful to accurately cast the precast segment.
following similar study has been performed earlier using other tools

Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Anjum,
you need to be specific about what you want GC to do for you as we have Road and Bridge tools that are highly parametric already.
