Last updated
This section defines support line locations for abutments, piers, and temporary supports along the bridge alignment.
Navigation: Bridge Geometry > Support Lines
For detailed parameter explanations, see the Support Lines Reference.
Navigate to Bridge Geometry > Support Lines in the tree view.

Click the three-dots icon on the first cell of Bridge and select Bridge1.
Set the station to 0 ft for the first end bent location (Abut1).
Create support lines for the remaining permanent structures:
Abut1
0 ft
Pier1
150 ft
Pier2
300 ft
Abut2
450 ft

The permanent support lines are designated for End Bent and Pier Cap locations. Now add Temporary Support locations for sequential assembly of Girder Segments.

Enter the names and stations for all Temporary Supports as shown.
Confirm that support lines have no Skew Angles or Transverse Offsets for this example.

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

After completing these steps, the support lines should appear as shown below.
