Step 2: Create First Insertion Point

Click the three-dots icon on the first cell of Location and select Select.

From the dropdown menu, choose SL1 (support line for End Bent location).

Step 3: Plan Insertion Points

For each support line, create one insertion point beneath each Concrete U Girder.

Since there are two U-girders in this project, there will be two insertion points on each support line.

Step 4: Set Transverse Offsets

Enter Transverse Offset values of -12 ft and +12 ft to position the insertion points on each support line.

Step 5: Create Remaining Insertion Points

Repeat the process to create insertion points for all support lines with their respective transverse offset values.

Quick Tip: Transverse Offset Direction

Offset values use PGL (Profile Grade Line) as the reference point.
