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 Shadab Anjum khan, Just wanted to check if you have made any progress in Modeling and if yes, then I would love to know you achieved it and the process of modeling.

Hi Volker,
Thank you very much for highlighting us the approach and steps. We shall be following this approach to try first.
If on nearly similar approach, any on demand video has been uploaded ever on Bentley learn server, please share the links.
Hi Anjum,
In principle, this is very well possible in GC. The approach would entail the following:
(1) define the components that you want to place along an alignment; these could be Generated Node Types within GC, especially if specific behaviors are expected; AECOsim Building Designer's user-defined building components ("Objects"); or attributed cells;
(2) use the ReferenceAttachment node type to reference the road or rail alignment as generated in OpenRail, OpenRoads, or similar applications;
(3) move the ReferenceAttachment so that it is within the solids area of the active design file (GC's operation depends on that);
(4) set up a GC Range node around the alignment data in relation to which you want to place components;
(5) use an appropriate GC node type (e.g. PolyLine) to create GC nodes based on the alignment data;
(6) use an appropriate technique to place CoordinateSystem nodes along the alignment for placement of the components from (1);
(7) place the components.
Caveats:
Beyond that, your concrete work cases will provide better opportunity to provide help. If those work cases are confidential, please send them to Volker.Mueller (at) Bentley.com.
