Modeling Footbridge with Camber

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am currently working on modeling a footbridge for my senior capstone project, and I am having some difficulty with adding a longitudinal camber to my bridge. So far, I have created the deck profile as a family and followed these steps:  on the deck profile Load into Project --> Structure tab --> Component --> Model In-Place --> Floors --> I named it "deck" --> Sweep Bend --> Pick Path --> Click arc I had previously made --> Click green check --> Assign profile 1 and profile 2 to the deck profile family --> green check. Below is what I was able to generate. I am looking to add bridge  camber and not curvature. I have never had any formal Revit experience until now, so I apologize if my understanding is rather elementary. Any suggestions?

You could model it in place or use a wall and edit the profile to make bridge camber.

Please helpful if you could post a picture of what you are trying to build.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to develop something similar to this:

You could use Beams as well for that. That's probably where I'd start.   

…another approach would be to apply Roofs  and Walls to Mass Face.
