Pre-cast Girder Material Change?

[TrevN]

Hi,

So I've created a bespoke pre-cast girder by creating a unique section along it's length, what I would also like to do is change it's material but cannot see a way of doing this.

Does anybody know of a way of achieving this or am I stuck with the 'out of the box' concrete?

Thanks

Hi TrevN,

Which version of Infraworks are you using?  In Infraworks version 2017.2 you can select a girder and change the material texture of the girder.  Unfortunately in earlier versions you can not do this.

That's what I thought. I am running 17.2 but that option isn't popping up, I've check all the attribute options to make sure nothing is turned off.

Must be missing something somewhere, hmmmm......

I'm sorry I got my releases wrong.  The girder material was added for 2017.3.  In 2017.2 you can set the material texture for piers, foundations & abutments.

OK no worries.

When did 17.3 get released? I thought I was up to date!

It actually hasn't been released yet.  It will be getting released soon.

Well at least I'm not going so mad then!!
