Highway Project Master Template

A highway job is rarely one structure. Several bridges, walls and foundations sit on one alignment, cross one surveyed ground surface, answer to one set of contract documents and one set of geometric requirements.

The Highway Project Master is the project that owns those. Every structure project on the corridor pulls its data from here, and federates its 3D back — so checks that need the whole job, vertical clearance first, have something to measure over.

It deliberately holds no reports and no export. The master is a data container; deliverables belong to the structure projects that own them.

How it fits together

• Down — the master publishes the alignment, terrain, documents and clearance criteria through Cross-Project Data, together with the coordinate system, local origin and project parameters.
• Up — each structure project comes back into the master through External References, so the master can see and measure the assembled corridor.

Start a structure project from the Project 3D sheet: New Project… creates it from a bridge template, links it in both directions and gives it this project's coordinate system in one step.
