Question
How can a user create a bridge alignment at a specific angle to the horizontal in CIM?
Answer
Open CIM project file and follow the steps below to create a specific angle to alignment:
Step 1: In the Base ribbon, go to Layout dropdown menu and click on the Create-Edit option
A layout menu panel, along with a sub-panel, shall be displayed on the screen.
For this demonstration, we’ve selected a Straight type horizontal alignment with a length of 30 meters.
Go to the Start Location subsection under the Layout menu panel.
Step 2: Go to Initial Angle, assign the value as per your requirement.
For demonstration, we assigned the initial angle value as 30 degree.
You can see the preview of Alignment on the bottom of sub panel.
Step 3: At the bottom of the Layout panel, click the Apply button to place the alignment in the model window.
A final result of this process is shown in the image below:
By following these steps, we can successfully assign a required initial angle in the alignment.
