Geospatial Vector Data (shape file) import troubles

I have a shape file of existing bridges that originates from ARCGis. When importing it to Infraworks, it detects the vector and gives me a range of options on data source configuration (see image). Problem is, I am not really finding anything that works for me. Closes I got was to choose the type as "barrier", but that won't give me an accurate representation, as the barriers have height assignment and I am not sure what the gripping point is given it is a deck with a top and bottom. Any suggestions?

You're only going to get certain options by using a shapefile. Bridges and tunnels work much differently than anything else.

I can check with the geospatial guys what other export options they have. What would you recommend?

For an export, you can only export from Revit to have an actual bridge. You will just need to create the bridge from within InfraWorks.
