Settings Dialog

In Settings Dialog you can define user specific settings, such as File Locations for Revit Families or project accuracy.

1. Click SOFiSTiK Bridge tab Create panel Create drop-down (Settings)

2. SOFiSTiK: Settings window displays.

3. Adjust settings according to your wish and confirm with OK.

General

You can define below listed settings to define the behaviour of your model.

Model Update

You can decide whether dependent elements of the axis should be automatically updated or not.

File Location

You can define the location of family templates and Revit Families

Templates

Select directory to the Family Templates, that will be used to create following elements:

• Superstructure Component

• Terrain Model

Families

Select directory to the folders from which the families will be loaded while starting following commands:

‚Load Families on demand‘ checkbox - if deactivated, families will not be loaded while starting the command.

• Superstructure

• Substructure

• Cross Member

• Girder Reference (Girder Layout command)

• Beam

• Parapet

• Railing

Accuracy

You can set the accuracy of your superstructure components.

Curve interpolation tolerance

Absolute - maximum tolerance of deviation of interpolated axis. Created curve is used as a path for profiles in superstructure components family.

Relative - factor relative to the axis length between minimum and maximum deviation tolerance of interpolated axis.

Interpolated Axis is used as a path for profiles in superstructure component family.

Bemerkung

Given ‚Absolute‘ value is also used as a accuracy control of the imported axis from LandXML file format.

Component minimum interpolation distance

Absolute - minimum distance between two profiles of created superstructure component. Each component must have at least two profiles at start and at end placement.

Relative - factor relative to the axis length between minimum and maximum interpolation distance of bridge profiles.

Interpolation distance defines the spacing of interpolated bridge profiles in superstructure component family.

You can also override the accuracy settings of selected element.

1. Select Superstructure component.

2. Click Modify tab SOFiSTiK Bridge panel (Accuracy Overrides)

3. SOFiSTiK: Accuracy window displays.

   

3. Set accuracy settings and confirm with OK.

Snaps

You can set the snap direction for the Graphical Station selection tool.

Snap Direction

Orthogonal to Axis -

Projection from Reference -

Bemerkung

Given ‚Absolute‘ value is also used as a accuracy control of the imported axis from LandXML file format.
