Module 09

Surrounding objects

Model everything that belongs to a bridge but isn't the bridge itself. Roads, slopes, retaining walls, landscaping — every object precisely in its place, ready to be assembled into a whole.

Module function

Everything that belongs to a bridge — in one place

A bridge isn't an isolated object. It has approach roads, graded slopes, retaining walls, wing walls, landscaping. You design all of this — and all of it has to go into the documentation.

The Surrounding objects module gives you the space to model these related objects directly in the Easy Bridge® environment. No switching tools, no loss of context.

Modules working together

The basis for the Structural object

The outputs of the Surrounding objects module feed directly into the Structural object module. There they combine with the bridge geometry, structural elements and details into a single coherent 3D model.

What you model here appears in the overall model exactly as it is. No rewriting, no duplicate work.
