Because this is rather a more general parametric modeling technique, it can be used for parametric modeling of other infrastructure requirements as well. In the first release of this new technology for volumetric primitives, advanced prisms are implemented - the basic shape of a prism is defined using the well-known cross-section definition. The third modelling technique available in Allplan Bridge allows the user to parametrically model the entire bridge or its sub elements freely in 3D space using volumetric primitives and Boolean operations. Allplan Bridge is suitable for all phases of work – from the concept to the detailed design.

Model changes can be made at any time and the dependent objects are automatically adjusted. The digital model generated in Allplan Bridge is completely parametric. Once the axis is imported or defined, the user defines typical cross-section(s) which are extruded along the axis. The modeling technique is tailored for bridges, especially for bridges with geometry directly governed by the axis.
