Change and configure components

00:03

We will start to look at detailed design

00:06

specifically how we can accommodate changes in

00:08

the alignment easily as the project progresses

00:17

where the proposed alignment is available in civil 3d,

00:20

we can connect the drawing as a data source in Infra works.

00:25

Once connected,

00:26

the designer can select from the available components which data is to be used.

00:32

The selected component can then be configured.

00:35

The designer can choose between using the

00:37

corridor component road generated from civil 3D

00:41

which locks the design to the civil 3D design

00:44

or use the component road and configure the road within Infra works.

00:51

Once the road configuration is complete,

00:54

the road is generated in Infra works.

00:57

Now the road is in place.

00:59

The designer can create the bridge structure in the same

01:02

way as we've seen in previous videos in this series.

01:08

It is very common during projects of this nature for changes to be made regularly.

01:14

This can lead to a large amount of rework,

01:16

especially if something critical such as the alignment is modified.

01:22

However, by using this workflow,

01:24

we can avoid large amounts of rework by simply

01:28

refreshing the data from the modified civil 3D drawing.

01:34

Once the road designer has made

01:36

the necessary changes such as alignment modifications

01:40

and re wielding of the corridor.

01:42

They only need to be saved back to

01:44

the original drawing to facilitate the update process.

01:54

Back in Infra works.

01:55

The only operation required to consume the changes is for the

01:59

designer to re import the data and the bridge will rebuild parametric

02:03

automatically.
